Cutting
When cutting, operate engine at full throttle as this maintains proper cutter speed.
When trimming top of hedge, hold trimmer so blades are between 15 and 30 degrees from a horizontal position and
swing trimmer in an arc toward edge of hedge to sweep cuttings off.
When trimming sides of hedge, hold blade vertically and swing unit in an arc.
NOTE! (THT-210/2120/2520, HTD-2526PF/2530PF) (Fig. 2-5)
In case your trimmer is twist handle type (1), please note that the cutting angle can be adjusted by loosening handle
locking nut (2). After adjustment has been made, be sure to retighten the nut.
NOTE! (THT-210S) (Fig. 2-5B)
The rear handle can be set in five different positions by pushing the lock button (3) and turning the rear handle. It is
extremely important that the handle is locked in the selected position. The lock button can not push while the throttle
trigger is pulling.

MAINTENANCE, REPLACEMENT, OR REPAIR OF THE
EMISSION CONTROL DEVICES AND SYSTEMS MAY
BE PERFORMED BY ANY NONROAD ENGINE REPAIR
ESTABLISHMENT OR INDIVIDUAL.
Carburetor adjustment (Fig. 3-1, 1B)
WARNING!
The blades may be moving during carburetor adjustments.
WARNING!
Never start the engine without the complete clutch cover! Otherwise the clutch can come loose and cause personal injuries.
In the carburetor, fuel is mixed with air. When the engine is test run at the factory, the carburetor is basically adjusted. A
further adjustment may be required, according to climate and altitude. The carburetor has one adjustment possibility:
T = Idle speed adjustment screw.
Idle speed adjustment (T)
Check that the air filter is clean. When the idle speed is correct, the cutting attachment will not rotate. If adjustment is
required, close (clockwise) the T-screw, with the engine running, until the cutting attachment starts to rotate.
Open (counter-clockwise) the screw until the cutting attachment stops. You have reached the correct idle speed when the
engine runs smoothly in all positions well below the rpm when the cutting attachment starts to rotate.
If the cutting attachment still rotates after idle speed adjustment, contact your service workshop.
Air filter (Fig. 3-2, 2B)
The air filter must be cleaned from dust and dirt in order to avoid:
• Carburetor malfunctions.
• Starting problems.
• Engine power reduction.
• Unnecessary wear on the engine parts.
• Abnormal fuel consumption.
Clean the air filter daily or more often if working in exceptionally dusty areas.
Cleaning the air filter
Remove the air filter cover and the filter (1).
Rinse it in warm soap suds. Check that the filter is dry before reassembly. An air filter that has been used for some time
cannot be cleaned completely. Therefore, it must regularly be replaced with a new one. A damaged filter must always be
replaced.
NOTE!
Saturate the element in 2-cycle oil or the equivalent. Squeeze the element to distribute the oil completely and to remove any
excess oil.

Owner’s Manual
Spark plug (Fig. 3-3)
The spark plug condition is influenced by:
• An incorrect carburetor setting.
• Wrong fuel mixture (too much oil in the gasoline)
• A dirty air filter.
• Hard running conditions (such as cold weather).
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes, which may result
in malfunction and starting difficulties. If the engine is low on power, difficult
to start or runs poorly at idling speed, always check the spark plug first. If
the spark plug is dirty, clean it and check the electrode gap. Readjust if
necessary. The correct gap is 0.6 mm (.024'). The spark plug should be
replaced after about 100 operation hours or earlier if the electrodes are
badly eroded.
NOTE!
In some areas, local law requires using a resistor spark plug to suppress ignition signals. If this machine was originally
equipped with resistor spark plug, use same type of spark plug for replacement.
Cutter blade (Fig. 3-4, 4B)
The blades are installed to the cutter guide with the four or
five bolts. Those bolts are tightened with a clearance so that
the cutters can move smoothly.
When clearance is too small:
The cutters do not move properly and the sliding surfaces
may seize.
When clearance is too large:
The cutters are poor in sharpness.
To adjust the cutter clearance:
1. Loosen the cutter fixing nuts.
2. Fully tighten the cutter fixing bolts and then loosen them approx. 1/2 turn.
3. With the bolts set at that position, tighten the cutter fixing nuts.
Be sure to replace cutter guide fixing bolts when they are loosened, worn or damaged. Also be sure to replace damaged
cutter blade.
NOTE!
Properly lubricate the cutter sliding surfaces with machine oil.

Owner’s Manual
Gear case (Fig. 3-5, 5B)
Apply a good quality lithium based grease through the grease fitting until a small amount comes out between the
cutter blades and the gear case.
NOTE!
Lubrication should be applied at 50 hour intervals and more frequent at heavy use.
Fuel filter (Fig. 3-6)
Remove the fuel filter from the fuel tank and thoroughly wash it in solvent. After that, push the filter into the tank
completely.
NOTE!
If the filter is hard due to dust and dirt, replace it.
Cleaning the cylinder fins (Fig. 3-7)
When wood chips are caught between cylinder fins (1),
the engine may overheat, resulting in lower output. To
avoid this, always keep cylinder fins and fan case clean.
Every 100 Operating hours, or once a year (more often if
conditions require), clean fins and external surfaces of
engine of dust, dirt and oil deposits which can contribute
to improper cooling.
Cleaning the muffler (Fig. 3-8)
Remove the muffler and spark arrestor (if so
equipped), and clean out any excess carbon
from the exhaust port or muffler inlet every 100
hours of operation.
For long-term storage
Drain all fuel from the fuel tank. Start and let engine run until it stops. Repair any damage which has resulted from use. Clean
the unit with a clean rag, or the use of high pressure air hose. Put a few drops of two-cycle engine oil into the cylinder
through the spark plug hole, and spin the engine over several times to distribute oil. Cover the unit and store it in a dry area.
