Explanation of Symbols on the HVT52

Warning

Read the user instructions carefully to make sure you understand all the controls and what they do.

The use of ear protection is recommended.

Disconnect the spark plug before attempting any maintenance, cleaning or adjustment, or if you are going to leave the trimmer unattended for any period.

Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the trimmer. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.

Never use, or attempt to fit, a metal/bar blade with this product.

Fuel Safety

1. WARNING - Petrol is highly flammable

- Store fuel in a cool place in a container specifically designed for the purpose.

- Only use a container that is specially designed for mixing fuel.

- Your trimmer has a 2-stroke

25 engine which runs on fuel of 1 part of oil to 25 parts of petrol.

- Do not use standard 2-stroke mixture as supplied by garages, neat petrol or multi grade oil.

- Use a good quality 2-stroke oil or a quality

SAE 30 oil mixed with fresh REGULAR grade unleaded petrol.

- Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refuelling.

- Wipe dirt and grass clippings from the fuel tank filler cap to avoid getting dirt into the fuel tank.

- Add fuel BEFORE starting the engine. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel while the engine is running or when the engine is hot.

- If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until petrol vapours have dissipated.

- Never use stale fuel left from last season or fuel which has been stored for long periods.

- Replace all fuel tanks and container caps securely.

- Fuel should be stored in a cool place away from naked flames.

- Your carburettor is pre-set. Normally no further adjustment is required.

Preparation

1. Do not trim barefoot or in open sandals.

Always wear suitable clothing, gloves, and stout shoes.

2. Make sure the area to be cut is clear of sticks, stones, bones, wire and debris; they could be thrown by the cutting line.

3. Before using always visually inspect to see that cutting lines, disc bolts and disc assembly are not worn or damaged. Replace worn or damaged cutting lines together with their fixings in sets to preserve balance.

4. Replace faulty mufflers.

3

Use

1. Do not operate the engine in a confined space where exhaust fumes (carbon monoxide) can collect.

2. Use the trimmer only in daylight or good artificial light.

3. Avoid operating your trimmer in wet grass, where feasible.

4. Take care in wet grass, you may lose your footing.

5. On slopes, be extra careful of your footing and wear non-slip footwear.

6. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.

7. Trimming on banks and slopes can be dangerous. and you should use extreme caution if using the trimmer in this manner.

Please see further important information below.

8. Do not walk backwards when trimming, you could trip. Walk never run.

9. Never cut grass by pulling the trimmer towards you.

10. Stop the engine before pushing the trimmer across surfaces other than grass and when transporting the trimmer to and from the area to be mowed.

11. Do not overspeed the engine or alter governor settings. Excessive speed is dangerous and shortens trimmer life.

12. Always start the trimmer carefully with feet well away from the cutting lines.

13. Do not tilt the trimmer when starting the engine, except if the trimmer has to be tilted for starting. In this case, do not tilt more than absolutely necessary and lift only the part which is away from the operator.

Always ensure that both hands are in the operating position before returning the appliance to the ground.

14. Never pick up or carry a trimmer while the engine is running

15. Spark plug lead may be hot - handle with care.

16. Do not attempt any maintenance on your trimmer when the engine is hot.

17. Cutting disc continues to rotate after the machine is switched off. Wait until all machine components have completely stopped before touching them.

18. Switch off the engine, wait until the cutting disc has stopped and disconnect the spark plug lead:-

before leaving the trimmer unattended for any period;

before refuelling

19. Switch off the engine, wait until the cutting disc has stopped, close the air vent screw, close the fuel tap and disconnect the spark plug lead.

before clearing a blockage;

before checking, cleaning or working on the trimmer;

if you hit an object. Do not use your trimmer until you are sure that the entire trimmer is in a safe operating condition;

if the trimmer starts to vibrate abnormally. Check immediately.

Maintenance and storage

Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the trimmer is in safe working condition.

2.

Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.

3.

Only use the replacement cutting disc, cutting line, disc bolt, spacer and impeller specified for this product.

4.

Never store the trimmer with fuel in the tank inside a building where fumes can reach an open flame or spark.

5.

Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.

To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine, muffler and fuel storage area free of grass, leaves or excessive grease.

7.

If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors.

8.

Be careful during adjustment of the machine to prevent entrapment of the fingers between moving parts and fixed parts of the machine.

USE ON STEEP SLOPES

When operating the trimmer on banks or steep slopes it is important that the feet of the operator remain firmly on level ground. Where it is not possible we recommend that the operator use a rope kit specifically designed for this purpose. Any operator so doing must be adequately trained in the operation of the trimmer in this mode. Further please note that it is important that every operator carries out a risk assessment or any site before operation commences. More details of how to use a rope kit or how to obtain one is available from the

Manufacturer or your local Distributor.

Caring for your Trimmer

● Switch off the engine, wait until the cutting disc has stopped and disconnect the spark plug lead

BEFORE attempting any maintenance or adjustment.

At the end of the Trimming Season.

1. Allow the engine to cool. Drain the fuel tank (Fuel left in the engine becomes stale and causes difficult starting).

2. Remove the spark plug lead and spark plug

(See Fig X). Pour one teaspoon (5ml) of oil through the spark plug hole. Pull the starting handle 2 or 3 times. This will distribute oil on the internal surfaces of the engine. Inspect, clean and replace the spark plug. If a new spark plug is required contact your local approved Flymo Service Centre/Dealer.

Do not re-connect the spark plug lead.

3. Clean the air filter. See 'Cleaning the Air

Filter'.

4. Renew the cutting disc if it is cracked, damaged or bent. Renew the disc bolt if necessary. See

'Height Adjustment' for complete instructions.

5. Use only genuine Flymo parts and accessories specified for this product.

6. Clean your trimmer thoroughly. See 'Cleaning'.

7. Your local approved Flymo/Partner Service

Centre/Dealer will carry out any service or repairs required.

8. Store your trimmer in a cool, dry, damp-proof and safe place.
