WARNING  
NOTE  
• Gasoline is very flammable. Avoid smoking or bringing any  
flame or sparks near fuel. Make sure to stop the engine and  
allow it cool before refueling the unit. Select outdoor bare  
ground for fueling and move at least 10 feet (3 m) away  
from the fueling point before starting the engine.  
• Failures caused by operating engines on gasoline with octane  
rating lower than 89 are not covered by the RedMax Two-  
Stroke engine warranty.  
U
S
WARNING  
• Alternative Fuels (Not Gasoline)  
Alternative fuels, such as E-15 (15% ethanol), E-20 (20%  
ethanol), E-85 (85% ethanol) are NOT classified as gasoline  
and are NOT approved for use in RedMax 2-stroke gasoline  
engines. Use of alternative fuels will cause major engine  
performance and durability problems such as: improper  
clutch engagements, overheating, vapor lock, power loss,  
lubrication deficiency, deterioration of fuel lines, gaskets  
and internal carburetor components, etc... Alternative fuels  
cause high moisture absorption into the fuel/oil mixture  
leading to oil and fuel separation.  
■ GASOLINE REQUIREMENTS  
• All 2-Stroke RedMax Products are powered by RedMax  
Professional-Commercial Duty, Hi-Performance, Hi-RPM, Air  
Cooled 2-Stroke engines.  
RedMax – Hi-Performance 2-stroke engines produce higher HP  
outputs as compared to standard Home Owner Duty or Light  
Commercial Duty production engines offered by most  
manufacturers.  
• Exhaust emission are controlled by the fundamental engine  
parameters and components (eq., carburation, ignition timing  
and port timing) without addition of any major hardware or the  
introduction of an inert material during combustion.  
• The RedMax Engines are registered and certified with CARB  
(California Air Resources Board) and EPA (Environmental  
Protection Agency) to operate on CLEAN Mid-grade 89 octane  
or Premium, unleaded (lead-free) gasoline and RedMax Air-  
Cooled "Max Life", Synthetic blend Premium two-stroke engine  
oil mixed at 50:1 ratio.  
■ OIL REQUIREMENTS  
• Use only RedMax "Max Life", Synthetic blend Premium Air-  
Cooled two-stroke engine oil or oil certified to ISO-L-EGD  
(ISO/CD1378) standard AND one that is JASO-FD registered.  
RedMax Air-Cooled "Max Life", Synthetic blend Premium two  
stroke engine oil and ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD1378) AND JASO-FD  
oils are fully compatible with gasoline's containing 10% Ethanol.  
RedMax Air-Cooled "Max Life", Synthetic blend Premium two  
stroke engine oil and ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD1378) AND JASO-FD  
oils are Universal and should be mixed at 50:1 ratio for all 2  
stroke air cooled engines sold in the past regardless of mixing  
ratios specified in those manuals.  
• Unleaded gasoline is recommended to reduce the  
contamination of the air for the sake of your health and the  
environment.  
• If the oil is registered with JASO, the JASO Logo with FD and  
registration number will be displayed on the container. The  
highest JASO rating is "FD", which equals the ISO-L-EGD  
rating. Lower ratings are "FC", "FB", and "FA".  
• This Hi-Performance Air Cooled 2-stroke Engine requires the  
[ R+M ]  
use of Minimum 89 Octane  
(Mid grade or Premium)  
2
clean gasoline. Gasoline may contain maximum of 10% Ethanol  
(grain alcohol) or up to 15% MTBE (Methyl tertiary-butyl ether).  
Gasoline containing Methanol (Wood Alcohol) is NOT  
approved.  
NOTE  
• Engine problems due to inadequate lubrication caused by  
failure to use ISO-L-EGD certified and JASO FD registered oil  
such as "MaxLife", RedMax Synthetic blend Premium 2-stroke  
oil WILL VOID THE REDMAX TWO-STROKE ENGINE  
WARRANTY.  
• IF octane rating of the Mid Grade gasoline in your area is lower  
than 89 Octane use Premium Unleaded Gasoline. The majority  
of all 2-stroke engine manufacturers in the USA and Canada  
recommend using gasoline with 89 Octane or higher.  
WARNING  
WARNING  
• Gasoline with an octane rating lower than 89 will greatly  
increase the engines operating temperature. Low octane  
gasoline will cause detonation (knock) resulting in piston  
seizures and major internal engine components damage.  
• Poor quality gasolines or oils may damage sealing rings, fuel  
• Do not use NMMA (National Marine Manufacturers  
Association), BIA (Boating Industry Association), and TCW (two  
cycle water cooled) oils designed for MoPeds or Outboard,  
water cooled Marine Engines. Do not use API (American  
Petroleum Institute), TC (Two Cycle) labeled oils. The API-TC

test standard has been discontinued by API in 1995 and it no  
longer exists.  
WARNING  
1. Select flat and bare ground for fueling.  
2. Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from the fueling point  
before starting the engine.  
3. Stop the engine before refueling the unit. At that time, be  
sure to sufficiently agitate the mixed gasoline in the  
container.  
IMPORTANT  
• Gasoline/Oil mixture Storage Recommendations  
Store your gasoline or gasoline/oil mixture in a cool dry area in  
a tightly sealed approved container to limit the entry of moisture  
and additional air (oxygen). Moisture and air cause the  
development of varnish and gum, making the fuel stale. Stored  
gasoline and gasoline/oil mixture ages and loses its octane  
rating and volatility. Do not mix more gasoline/oil than you  
intend to use in 30 days, and 60 days when fuel stabilizer is  
added. RedMax Air-Cooled "Max Life" Synthetic blend  
Premium two-stroke engine oil "Contains fuel stabilizer" and  
will automatically extend your gasoline/oil mixture life up to 60  
days.  
■ FOR YOUR ENGINE LIFE, AVOID  
1. FUEL WITH NO OIL (RAW GASOLINE) – It will cause severe  
damage to the internal engine parts very quickly.  
2. GASOHOL – It can cause deterioration of rubber and/or plastic  
parts and disruption of engine lubrication.  
3. OIL FOR 4-CYCLE ENGINE USE – It can cause spark plug  
fouling, exhaust port blocking, or piston ring seizure.  
4. Mixed fuels which have been left unused for a period of  
one month or more may clog the carburetor and result in the  
engine failing to operate properly.  
5. In the case of storing the product for a long period of time,  
clean the fuel tank after rendering it empty. Next, Start the  
engine and run the carburetor dry residual fuel.  
6. In the case of scrapping the used mixed oil container, scrap it  
only at an authorized depository site.

■ CHAIN OIL  
• Pay attention to agitation.  
Use motor oil SAE #10W-30 all year round or SAE #30 ~ #40 in  
summer and SAE #20 in winter.  
1. Measure out the quantities of gasoline and oil to be mixed.  
2. Put some of the gasoline into a clean, approved fuel container.  
3. Pour in all of the oil and agitate well for 10seconds.  
4. Pour in the rest of gasoline and agitate again for at least one  
minute. As some oils may be difficult to agitate depending on oil  
ingredients, sufficient agitation is necessary. Be careful that, if  
the agitation is insufficient, there is an increased danger of early  
piston seizure due to abnormally lean mixture.  
5. Place a clear indication on the outside of the container to avoid  
mixing up with gasoline or other containers that dont contain oil.  
6. Indicate the contents on outside of container for easy  
identification.  
NOTE  
Do not use wasted or regenerated oil that can cause damage to

WARNING  
■ CONTROLLING BLADE THRUST  
• Blade thrust can cause serious  
personal injury. Carefully study this  
section. It is important that you  
understand what causes blade thrust,  
how you can reduce the chance of  
blade thrust and how you can remain in  
control of the unit if blade thrust does  
occur.  
WARNING  
1. What causes blade thrust:  
• If the grass or other object gets  
caught in the blade, or if the unit  
starts to shake or vibrate, turn off  
the engine and check the whole unit.  
Change the blade if it has been  
damaged.  
• Turn off the engine and make sure  
the blade has completely stop  
before checking the blade, and  
removing any object got caught in.  
• Blade thrust can occur when the  
moving blade contacts an object that it  
cannot cut. This contact causes the  
blade to stop for an instant and then  
suddenly move or ”bounce” away from  
the object that was hit. The operator  
can lose control of the unit and the  
blade can cause serious personal injury  
to the operator or any person nearby if  
the blade contacts any part of the body.  
■ OPERATION  
2. How you can reduce the chance of blade  
thrust:  
1. Check the bolt to fasten the blade and  
be sure the bolt has no fault, and no  
abrasion.  
2. Be sure that the blade and the holder  
have been fastened according to  
instruction and the blade turns  
smoothly without abnormal noise.  
(OPT10)  
OPT10  
a. Recognize that blade thrust can  
happen. By understanding and  
knowing about bounce, you can  
help eliminate the element of  
surprise.  
b. Cut fibrous weeds and grass  
only. Do not let the blade contact  
materials it cannot cut such as hard,  
woody vines and brush or rocks,  
fences, metal, etc  
WARNING  
• The rotating parts fastened  
incorrectly may cause serious  
accident to the operator.  
c. Be extra prepared for blade thrust if  
you must cut where you cannot see

This product is equipped with  
extremely sharp blades, and when  
used improperly these blades can be  
extremely dangerous, and improper  
handling can cause accidents which  
may in turn lead to serious injury or  
death. For this reason, you should  
always be careful to follow the  
following instructions when using your  
trimmer.

• Never hold the trimmer in a way in  
which the blades are pointed towards  
someone else.  
NOTE  
• Never allow the blades to come into  
proximity with your body while the  
engine of the trimmer is in operation.  
• Always be sure to turn off the engine  
before changing the angle of the  
blades, removing branches which  
have become stuck in the blades, or  
at any other time when coming into  
close proximity with the blades.  
• Always wear work gloves made of  
leather or some other sturdy material  
when using the trimmer.  
The oil reservoir has a capacity sufficient  
to provide about 40 minutes of cutting  
time (when set to deliver the minimum  
flow rate, or about as long as you'll get  
from a tank of fuel). Be sure to refill the oil  
tank every time when refueling the saw.  
■ ADJUSTING OIL FLOW RATE  
WARNING  
Never fill the oil reservoir nor adjust  
the oiler with the engine running.  
• Always place the blade cover  
provided with the trimmer over the  
blades when not in use.  
IMPORTANT  
• Falling branches may fall onto the  
face or into the eyes, resulting in  
injuries, scratches, and cuts, and

trimmer.  
IMPORTANT  
The guide bar and chain are lubricated  
automatically by a pump that operates  
whenever the chain rotates. The pump is  
set at the factory to deliver a minimum  
flow rate, but it can be adjusted in the  
field. A temporary increase in oil flow is  
often desirable when cutting things like  
hardwood or wood with a lot of pitch.  
The thickness of branches which may  
be cut using this trimmer is limited to  
up to approximately 3/16" (5mm).  
Never try to cut branches thicker than  
this, as doing so may result in damage  
to the trimmer.

barefooted!  
(6) BEWARE of thrown debris!  
(7) DIRECTION OF ROTATION  
WARNING  
• Always wear eye protection such as  
safety goggles. Never lean over the  
rotating cutting head. Rocks or other  
debris could be thrown into eyes  
and face and cause serious personal  
injury.  
• Keep the blade guard and the mad  
guard attached in place at all times  
when the unit is operated.  
• Before starting a job, check the area  
and remove all obstacles and  
objects that could be thrown by the  
blade.  
• Do not adjust the wheel height or try  
to remove anything entangled to the  
blade with the engine running.  
• The RedMax Sweeper works best  
when its rubber fins can quickly slide or  
"skim" over the surface being swept.  
• New or replacement sweeper belts  
tend to grip or drag on hard surfaces,  
and should be thoroughly broken in or  
"scuffed" before the broom is actually  
put to work.  
• Break-in is easily accomplished by  
operating the RedMax Sweeper at full  
throttle for 3 to 5 minutes in loose  
gravel or similar abrasive material.  
Once broken in, a RedMax Sweeper  
will effortlessly move an amazing  
variety of materials, ranging from snow  
or standing water to heavier objects  
such as wood chips or gravel.  
HE-EX2 OP1  
1. Before starting the engine, adjust the  
wheel height for desired cutting depth  
(See page 15).  
2. Before starting a job, plan your  
direction of travel so that you can  
always hold the edger on you right side  
and can walk on a hard surface as  
much as possible.  
• Experience will help you understand  
the operating principles of the RedMax  
Sweeper, but safe operation must be  
practiced from the start.

■ OPERATING TECHNIQUES  
(OP2)(OP3)(OP4)  
loss of control of the machine.  
RMS-EX OP5  
Operate the RedMax Sweeper at or near  
full throttle with its sweeper fins resting on  
the work surface.  
(1) Maintain a shallow working angle.  
(2) A steep working angle risks loss of  
control!  
The sweeper belts may rotate when the  
RedMax Sweeper is started!  
• Always maintain a firm grip when  
starting the RedMax Sweeper. Beware  
of objects that could become entangled  
in or be thrown by the rotating sweeper  
belts.  
NOTE  
• It is both tiring and unnecessary to lift  
or hold the fins from the work surface  
during sweeping.  
RMS-EX OP2  
• When sweeping narrow areas such as  
sidewalks, the RedMax Sweeper can  
be used to throw material directly  
ahead of the operator. Clearing wider  
areas may require sweeping at an  
angle to create windrows to one side of  
the path being cleared.  
• Windrows of lighter materials often can  
be combined into one main row or pile  
for eventual pickup, while heavy or  
bulky material may need to be collected  
row-by-row.  
• To pull debris from corners, reverse  
sweeper drum rotation by turning the  
powerhead over (throttle facing "up") .  
• Sweeping corners with the RedMax  
Sweeper upside down. (OP3)  
YOU MUST ALWAYS GUARD AGAINST  
THROWN DEBRIS!  
• Although the RedMax Sweeper’s  
sweeper belts are less forceful than a  
lawnmower blade, you must avoid any  
operation where thrown objects could  
pose a threat to persons or property!  
RMS-EX OP3  
Never operate the RedMax Sweeper if  
any protective devices (engine covers,  
stop switch, etc.) are missing or  
damaged!  
Never operate the engine at high rpms  
without a load!  
• Doing so could damage the engine.  
(1) Direction of rotation  
Avoid low rpm operation  
• Continuous low-rpm operation can lead  
to premature clutch failure.  
• For long-term inverted operation,  
loosen the adjustment knob to reverse  
the handle. (OP4)

very hot when in operation, and  
doing so could result in severe  
burns.  
• When checking the machine to make  
sure that it is okay before using it,  
check the area around the muffler  
and remove any wood chips or  
leaves which have attached  
themselves to the brushcutter.  
Failing to do so could cause the  
muffler to become overheated, and  
that this in turn could cause the  
engine to catch on fire. Always  
make sure that the muffler is clean  
and free of wood chips, leaves, and  
other waste before use.  
• Check the intake air cooling vent and  
the area around the cylinder cooling  
fins after every 25 hours of use for  
blockage, and remove any waste which  
has attached itself to the brushcutter.

3. While holding onto the screw to keep  
it in position, tighten the lock nut.  
4. Check to make sure that the flat  
washer (C) is loose enough so that it  
may be turned by pressing on it with  
a finger.  
1. For replacement line, use a diameter of  
.095in (2.4mm). The spool is capable  
for a line up to 20feet (6m) on the 4”  
head. Avoid using a larger line as it  
may cut down the trimming  
performance.  
2. Pinch the slotted area on the both sides  
of the spool housing to unhook the  
bottom cap.  
(1) Upper blade  
(2) Lower blade  
3. Take out the spool and pull off the old  
line. Fold new line so that one half line  
is 4.7in.(12cm) shorter than another  
half. And then, hook bended end in the  
slot of the spool.  
NOTE  
Screwing in the screw too tightly may  
make it impossible for the blades to move.  
Conversely, not screwing in the screw  
tightly enough may make the blades of  
the trimmer feel dull and cause leaves  
and branches to become caught in the  
blades of the trimmer.  
4. Wind up the line in the correct direction  
as indicated on the spool.  
5. Hook each end of the line in the slot on  
the edge of the spool, and then put the  
ends through the eyelets on the  
housing. Make sure that the spring and  
the washers are in place.  
QUICK TIP  
If the blades become so worn down that it  
is no longer possible to eliminate the gap  
between them, you should contact the  
authorized RedMax servicing dealer from  
which you purchased your RedMax  
trimmer to have the blades resharpened  
or replaced.  
6. While holding the spool against the  
housing, pull the line ends to release  
them from the slot.  
7. Line up the slot on the bottom cap with  
the hook on the housing, press the cap  
against the housing until it clicks.

FEDERAL AND CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS CONTROL WARRANTY  
STATEMENT YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS  
U
S
The EPA (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency), CARB (California Air Resources Board), Environment  
Canada and RedMax are pleased to explain the emissions control system's warranty on your 2009 and later  
small off-road engine. In U.S. and Canada, new equipment that use small off-road engines must be designed,  
built, and equipped to meet the applicable Federal or Californian stringent anti-smog standards. RedMax must  
warrant the emissions control system on your small off-road engine for the period listed below provided there  
has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your equipment. Your emissions control system may  
include parts such as carburetor, ignition system, catalytic converter, fuel tank, filters and other associated  
components. Also, included may be hoses, belts, connectors, sensors, and other emission-related assemblies.  
Where a warrantable condition exists, RedMax will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you including  
diagnosis, parts and labor.  
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE  
This emissions control system is warranted for two years or if the product qualifies for a longer warranty period  
resulting from the type of use, that period shall prevail. If any emissions-related part on your equipment is  
defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by RedMax.  
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES  
As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for performance of the required maintenance listed in  
your Owner's Manual. RedMax recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your small off-  
road engine, but RedMax cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or your failure to ensure the  
performance of all scheduled maintenance. As the small off-road engine owner, you should however be aware  
that the RedMax may deny you warranty coverage if your small off-road engine or a part has failed due to  
abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.  
You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine to a RedMax distribution center or service center  
as soon as the problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to  
exceed 30 days. If you have any questions regarding your warranty coverage, you should contact RedMax at 1-  
800-291-8251 or via e-mail at [email protected].  
WARRANTY COMMENCEMENT DATE  
The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is delivered to an ultimate purchaser.  
LENGTH OF COVERAGE  
RedMax warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent owner that the engine or equipment is  
designed, built, and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by EPA and CARB, and  
is free from defects in materials and workmanship that causes the failure of a warranted part for a period of two  
years.  
WHAT IS COVERED  
REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF PARTS Repair or replacement of any warranted part under the warranty  
must be performed at no charge to the owner at a warranty station. Warranty services or repairs will be provided  
at all RedMax distribution centers that are franchised to service the subject engines. Throughout the emissions  
warranty period of two years, RedMax must maintain a supply of warranted parts sufficient to meet the expected  
demand for such parts.  
WARRANTY PERIOD Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required in the maintenance  
schedule, is warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the  
part fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part will be repaired or replaced by RedMax at no cost.  
Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty is warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the first  
scheduled replacement point for the part. Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required  
in the maintenance schedule, is warranted for two years or if the product qualifies for a longer warranty period  
resulting from the type of use, that period shall prevail. If any such part fails during the period of warranty  
coverage, it will be repaired and replaced by RedMax at no cost. Any such part repaired or replaced under the  
US-29

EXZ2460S-PH  
warranty is warranted for the remaining warranty period. Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular  
inspection in the maintenance schedule will be warranted for a period of two years. A statement in such written  
instructions to the effect of "repair or replace as necessary" will not reduce the period of warranty coverage. Any  
such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the remaining warranty period.  
DIAGNOSIS The owner must not be charged for diagnostic labor that leads to the determination that a  
warranted part is in fact defective, provided that such diagnostic work is performed at a warranty station.  
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RedMax is liable for damages to other engine components proximately caused  
by a failure under warranty of any warranted part.  
EMISSION WARRANTY PARTS LIST  
1. Air-induction system*  
2. Fuel system*  
3. Ignition system*  
4. Fuel tank, cap and lines as applicable*  
*some components only covered up to point specified by maintenance schedule  
WHAT IS NOT COVERED  
All failures caused by abuse, neglect or improper maintenance are not covered.  
ADD-ON OR MODIFIED PARTS  
Add-on or modified parts that are not exempted by CARB or EPA may not be used. The use of any non-  
exempted add-on or modified parts will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. RedMax will not be liable to  
warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a non-exempted add-on or modified part.  
HOW TO FILE A CLAIM  
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact your nearest  
authorized servicing dealer or contact RedMax at 1-800-291-8251 or via e-mail at [email protected].  
WHERE TO GET WARRANTY SERVICE  
Warranty services or repairs are provided through all RedMax authorized servicing dealers.  
MAINTENANCE, REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR OF EMISSION-RELATED PARTS  
Any replacement part may be used in the performance of any warranty maintenance or repairs and must be  
provided without charge to the owner. Such use will not reduce the warranty obligations of the manufacturer.  
MAINTENANCE STATEMENT  
The owner is responsible for the performance of all required maintenance, as defined in the operator's manual.
