Information  
This machine is equipped with an Overload Cancellation Mechanism.  
When the cutting blades have got into metal wires or twigs difficult to cut, the mechanism works as a shock absorber,  
and protects the gears and the blades from severe reaction which could give damage to those parts.  
When the blades are frequently caught by twigs, please check the following points:  
1. Size of the twigs --> Never try to cut twigs thicker than 5 mm.  
2. Condition of the blade edges --> Replace the worn-out blades.

5. For safe operation  
BEFORE STARTING  
THE ENGINE  
1. The area within a perimeter of  
15 m (50 ft) of the person using  
the product should be considered  
a hazardous area into which no  
one should enter. If necessary,  
yellow warning rope, warning  
signs should be placed around  
the perimeter of the area. When  
work is to be performed simulta-  
neously by two or more persons,  
care should also be taken to con-  
stantly look around or otherwise  
check for the presence and loca-  
tions of other people working so  
as to maintain a distance between  
each person sufficient to ensure  
safety.  
WARNING  
Never place the throttle into the  
high-speed position when starting  
the engine.  
3. After starting the engine, check  
to make sure that the cutting at-  
tachment stops moving when the  
throttle is moved fully back to its  
original position. If it continues to  
move even after the throttle has  
been moved fully back, turn off  
the engine and take the unit to  
your authorized ZENOAH servic-  
ing dealer for repair.  
2. Check the condition of working  
area to avoid any accident by hit-  
ting hidden obstacles such as  
stumps, stones, cans, or broken  
glass.  
USING THE PRODUCT  
IMPORTANT  
Cut only materials recommended by  
the manufacturer. And use only for  
tasks explained in the manual.  
IMPORTANT  
Remove any obstacle before begin-  
ning work.  
1. Grip the handles firmly with both  
hands using your whole hand.  
Place your feet slightly apart  
(slightly further apart than the  
width of your shoulders) so that  
your weight is distributed evenly  
across both legs, and always be  
sure to maintain a steady, even  
posture while working.  
2. Maintain the speed of the engine  
at the level required to perform  
cutting work, and never raise the  
speed of the engine above the  
level necessary.  
3. Inspect the entire unit for loose  
fasteners and fuel leakage. Make  
sure that the cutting attachment  
is properly installed and securely  
fastened.  
4. Always use the shoulder strap.  
Adjust the strap for comfort be-  
fore starting the engine. The strap  
should be adjusted so the left  
hand can comfortably hold the  
handlebar grip approximately  
waist high.  
STARTING THE ENGINE  
1. Keep bystanders and animals at  
least 15 m (50 ft) away from the  
operating point. If you are ap-  
proached, immediately stop the  
engine.  
2. The product is equipped with a  
centrifugal clutch mechanism, so  
the cutting attachment begins to  
move as soon as the throttle le-  
ver is pulled. When starting the  
engine, place the product onto  
the ground in a flat clear area and  
hold it firmly in place so as to en-  
sure that neither the cutting part  
nor the throttle come into contact  
with any obstacle when the en-  
gine starts.  
3. If the unit starts to shake or vi-  
brate, turn off the engine and  
check the whole unit. Do not use  
it until the trouble has been prop-  
erly corrected.  
4. Keep all parts of your body away  
from moving cutting attachment  
and hot surfaces.  
5. Never touch the muffler, spark  
plug, or other metallic parts of the  
engine while the engine is in op-  
eration or immediately after shut-  
ting down the engine. Doing so  
could result in serious burns or  
electrical shock.

7. Fuel  
FUEL  
3. Pour in all of the oil and agitate well.  
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 agi-  
tation is necessary for the engine to last long. Be  
careful that, if the agitation is insufficient, there is an  
increased danger of early piston seizing due to ab-  
normally lean mixture.  
WARNING  
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 refuel-  
ing the unit. Select outdoor bare ground for fuel-  
ing and move at least 3 m (10 ft) away from the  
fueling point before starting the engine.  
G
B
5. Put a clear indication on the outside of the container  
to avoid mixing up with gasoline or other containers.  
6. Indicate the contents on outside of container for easy  
identification.  
FUELING THE UNIT  
1. Untwist and remove the fuel cap. Rest the cap on a  
dustless place.  
2. Put fuel into the fuel tank to 80% of the full capacity.  
3. Fasten the fuel cap securely and wipe up any fuel  
spillage around the unit.  
• The Zenoah engines are lubricated by oil specially  
formulated for air-cooled 2-cycle gasoline engine use.  
If Zenoah oil is not available, use an anti-oxidant added  
quality oil expressly labeled for air-cooled 2-cycle  
engine use (JASO FC GRADE OIL or ISO EGC  
GRADE).  
WARNING  
1. Select 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.  
• Do not use BIA or TCW (2-stroke water-cooling type)  
mixed oil.  
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  
sticking.  
RECOMMENDED MIXING RATIO  
GASOLINE 50 : OIL 1  
(when using ZENOAH genuine oil)  
Exhaust emission are controlled by the funda-  
mental engine parameters and components (eq.,  
carburation, ignition timing and port timing) with-  
out addition of any major hardware or the intro-  
duction of an inert material during combustion.  
• These engines are certified to operate on unleaded  
gasoline.  
4. Mixed fuels which have been left unused for a pe-  
riod 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,  
activate the engine and empty the carburetor of the  
composite fuel.  
• Make sure to use gasoline with a minimum octane  
number of 89RON (USA/Canada: 87AL).  
• If you use a gasoline of a lower octane value than  
prescribed, there is a danger that the engine tem-  
perature may rise and an engine problem such as  
piston seizing may consequently occur.  
6. In the case of scrapping the used mixed oil container,  
scrap it only at an authorized repository site.  
NOTE  
• Unleaded gasoline is recommended to reduce the  
contamination of the air for the sake of your health  
and the environment.  
As for details of quality assurance, read the description  
in the section Limited Warranty carefully. Moreover, nor-  
mal wear and change in product with no functional influ-  
ence are not covered by the warranty. Also, be careful  
that, if the usage in the instruction manual is not observed  
as to the mixed gasoline, etc. described therein, it may  
not be covered by the warranty.  
• Poor quality gasolines or oils may damage sealing  
rings, fuel lines or fuel tank of the engine.  
HOW TO MIX FUEL  
IMPORTANT  
Pay attention to agitation.  
1. Measure out the quantities of gasoline and oil to be  
mixed.  
2. Put some of the gasoline into a clean, approved fuel  
container.

tremely 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.  
G
B
• Never hold the trimmer in a way in which the blades  
are pointed towards someone else.  
• Never allow the blades to come into proximity with  
your body while the engine of the trimmer is in opera-  
tion.  
• Always be sure to turn off the engine before chang-  
ing the angle of the blades, removing branches which

BLADES  
QUICK TIP  
• When refilling the tank or resting, it is often a good  
idea to use the time to oil the cutting blades.  
• If a gap exists between the upper and lower blades,  
follow the procedure below to adjust them so that they  
fit more closely together.  
• If the blades become so worn down that it is no longer  
possible to eliminate the gap between them, you  
should contact the authorized ZENOAH servicing  
dealer from which you purchased your ZENOAH trim-  
mer to have the blades resharpened or replaced.  
1. Loosen lock nut (A) as shown in the diagram.  
2. Tighten screw (B) fully, and then turn one-third to one-  
half of a rotation backward.  
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.  
GEAR CASE  
• The reduction gears are lubricated by multipurpose,  
lithium-based grease in the gear case. Supply new  
grease every 25 hours of use or more often depend-  
ing on the job condition. When adding lubricant, use  
a grease gun to insert lubricant into the three grease  
nipples located on the gear case.  
TYPE OF LUBRICANT TO BE USED  
Always be sure to use #2 lithium heat-resistant lubricant.  
(1) Upper blade  
(2) Lower blade  
NOTE  
• Screwing in the screw too tightly may make it impos-  
sible for the blades to move. Conversely, not screw-  
ing 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.

WARNING  
SPARK PLUG  
WARNING  
• Make sure that the engine has stopped and is cool  
before performing any service to the machine. Con-  
tact with hot muffler may result in a personal injury.  
• Do not modify the trimming mechanism or dismantle  
the engine.  
• Do not touch the spark plug with your bare hands  
immediately after operation, as there is the risk of  
burns due to high temperature.

• When replacing parts please use Zenoah original  
parts or designated parts.  
Air cleaner  
• After every 50 hours of operation, detach the spark  
plug and remove dirt from the electrodes with a wire  
brush or similar.  
• The correct electrode gap is 0.6 to 0.7mm.  
• When replacing plugs, please use designated items.  
• After every 25 hours of operation, please remove the  
air cleaner cover and inspect the element. If it is too  
dirty, wash it carefully in warm water containing a neu-  
tral detergent, and return it to its original position af-  
ter drying it thoroughly.  
• If the element is distorted or damaged, please replace  
it with a new one.

IMPORTANT  
IMPORTANT  
• If the air cleaner element is blocked, the efficiency of  
the engine will be reduced. In addition, the engine  
interior will suffer abnormal wear if operated without  
the element or if continually operated with a distorted  
or damaged element fitted.  
• If too much fuel is absorbed or poor quality oil is used,  
the spark plug electrodes become dirty, making the  
engine harder to start.  
• Note that using any spark plug other than those des-  
ignated may result in the engine failing to operate  
properly or in the engine becoming overheated and  
damaged.  
To install the spark plug, first turn the plug until it is  
finger tight, then tighten it a quarter turn more with a  
socket wrench.  
FUEL FILTER  
• After every 25 hours of operation, empty the fuel tank,  
detach the fuel filter from the tank, and remove all  
dirt. If the filter is too clogged, please replace it with a  
new one.  
Fuel filter  
IMPORTANT  
• If the fuel filter is clogged, the engine speed may be  
limited or speed fluctuations may occur.  
• If the engine is operated without a fuel filter, dirt will  
accumulate in the carburetor and cause it to malfunc-  
tion.

9. Maintenance  
MUFFLER  
INTAKE AIR COOLING VENT  
WARNING  
WARNING  
Never touch the cylinder, muffler, or spark plugs  
with your bare hands immediately after stopping  
the engine. The engine can become 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 machine.  
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.  
Inspect periodically, the muffler for loose fasten-  
ers, any damage or corrosion. If any sign of ex-  
haust leakage is found, stop using the machine  
and have it repaired immediately.  
Note that failing to do so may result in the engine  
catching on fire.  
SPARK ARRESTER  
• The muffler is equipped with a spark arrester to pre-  
vent red hot carbon from flying out of the exhaust out-  
let. Periodically inspect and clean as necessary with  
a wire brush.  
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 machine. Note that  
it is necessary to remove the engine cover shown  
in (A) in order to be able to view the upper part of  
the cylinder.  
Spark arrester  
IMPORTANT  
PROCEDURES TO BE PERFORMED AFTER EV-  
ERY 100 HOURS OF USE  
• If waste gets stuck and causes blockage around the  
intake air cooling vent or between the cylinder fins, it  
may cause the engine to overheat, and that in turn  
may cause mechanical failure on the part of the ma-  
chine.  
1. Remove the muffler, insert a screwdriver into the vent,  
and wipe away any carbon buildup. Wipe away any  
carbon buildup on the muffler exhaust vent and cylin-  
der exhaust port at the same time.  
Cylinder  
2. Tighten all screws, bolts, and fittings.  
(A)  
3. Check to see if any oil or grease has worked its way  
in between the clutch lining and drum, and if it has  
wipe it away using oil-free, lead-free gasoline.  
Intake air cooling vent  
10. Storage  
• Aged fuel is one of major causes of engine starting  
failure. Before storing the unit, empty the fuel tank and  
run the engine until it uses all the fuel left in the fuel  
line and the carburetor. Store the unit indoor taking  
necessary measures for rust prevention.  
• Oil the blades.  
11. Disposal  
When disposing your machine, fuel or oil for the machine,  
be sure to allow your local regulations.
