Before Operation
Chain Oil (Pruner Attachment)
1) Adding oil
1. Remove the oil tank cap and pour the chain oil (SAE
#10W-30) into the oil tank.
2. Once the oil has been poured into the oil tank, tighten the
oil tank cap to securely close the tank.
2) Regulating oil discharging rate
The regulating screw has three positions, Minimum, Interme-
diate and Maximum, only.
The regulating screw is set to Intermediate at the time of ship-
ping. It is recommended that the product be used with this
setting for ordinary use.
• Increase the discharging rate when cutting hard
branches or branches with a lot of resin (pitch), or
when the viscosity of the oil is high during winter.
1. Insert a minus screw driver into the regulating screw at the
bottom of the main unit.
2. When applying pressure with the minus screw driver, turn
the screw to the right (clockwise) to reduce the discharg-
ing rate and to the left (counter-clockwise) to increase the
discharging rate.
3. Turn the engine on and turn the saw chain, with the guide
bar facing the ground or tree. Oil will attach to the ground
or tree, if the oil is discharging.
DANGER
・ Ensure that the guide bar and saw chain are installed
on the pruner before verifying the discharging rate of
the chain oil. The rotator will be exposed and there-
fore dangerous if the guide bar and the saw chain are
not installed on the pruner.
WARNING
・ Using the pruner with a saw chain too loose may re-
sult in the saw chain becoming dislodged and could
cause an accident. Please be sure to check the ten-
sion of the saw chain before starting any work.
CAUTION
・ It may take some time before the oil begins to discharge
once the oil has been added to a new product or when
oil has been added to an empty tank. Do not turn the
pruner on at a high speed in such circumstances.
・ When a new chain is to be used, immerse the chain
in chain oil for some time prior to installing it on the
pruner, or pour the oil directly on to the chain and the
guide bar, after installing it on the pruner. If they are
not properly lubricated with oil the pruner may seize.

2. Always shut off the engine before refueling. Never remove the Multi-Cutter fuel tank cap while the en-
gine is running or immediately after stopping the engine.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
・Petrol contains gasses that can build up pressure inside a fuel tank.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
・Fuel can be sprayed on you when removing fuel tank cap.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
・Remove fuel tank cap slowly to avoid injury from fuel spray.
3m(10ft.)
Minimum
3. Always open the fuel tank cap slowly to release any possible
pressure inside the tank.
4. Do not overll the fuel tank. Stop lling 10mm from the top of the
tank.
5. Tighten the fuel tank cap carefully but rmly after relling.
6. Wipe up any spilled fuel before starting the engine.
7. Move the Multi-Cutter at least 3m (10ft.) away from the fueling.
DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD
・ In certain conditions petrol is extremely ammable and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
・ A re or explosion from petrol can burn you, others and cause property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
・ Use a funnel and ll the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when the engine is cold.
Wipe up any petrol that spills.
・ Do not ll the fuel tank completely. Add petrol to the fuel tank until the level is 10mm below the
bottom of the ller neck. This empty space in the tank allows petrol to expand.
・ Never smoke when handling petrol, and stay away from an open ame with petrol in an ap-
proved container and keep it out of the reach of children.
・ Do not mix fuel for more than two month use.

Fuel Mixture Chart
Mixing Instructions
IMPORTANT: Never mix petrol and oil directly in the Multi-Cutter fuel tank.
1. Always mix fuel and oil in a clean container approved for petrol.
2. Mark the container to identify it as fuel mix for the Multi-cutter.
3. Use regular unleaded petrol and ll the container with half the required amount of petrol.
4. Pour the correct amount of oil into the container then add the remaining amount of petrol.
5. Close the container tightly and shake it momentarily to evenly mix the oil and the petrol before lling the
tank on the Multi-cutter.
6. When relling the Multi-cutter fuel tank, clean around the fuel tank cap to stop dirt and debris from en-
tering the tank during cap removal.
7. Always shake the premix fuel container momentarily before lling the fuel tank.
8. Always use a spout or funnel when fueling to reduce fuel spillage.
9. Fill the tank only to within 10mm from the top of the tank. Avoid lling to the top of the tank ller neck.

Recommended Oil Type
Only use a two-stroke engine oil formulated for use in high-performance, air-cooled two-stroke engines.
IMPORTANT: Do not use two-stroke oil intended for water cooled outboard motors. This type of two-
stroke engine oil does not have the additives for air-cooled two-stroke engines and
can cause engine damage.
Do not use automotive motor oil. This type of oil does not have the proper additives
for air-cooled two-stroke engines and can cause engine damage.
Recommended Fuel Type
Use clean, unleaded petrol with an octane rating of 85 or higher. Use of unleaded petrol results in fewer
combustion chamber deposits and longer spark plug life. Use of premium grade fuel is not necessary or
recommended.
IMPORTANT: Never use gasohol or alcohol blended fuels in this engine.
Mixing Petrol and Oil
IMPORTANT: The engine used on this Multi-cutter is of a two-stroke design. The internal moving
parts of the engine, i.e., crankshaft bearings, piston pin bearings and piston to cylin-
der wall contact surfaces, require oil mixed with the petrol for lubrication.
Failure to add oil to the petrol or failure to mix oil with the petrol at the appropriate
ratio will cause major engine damage which will void your warranty.
