Use extra care when handling fuels. Fuel is ammable and the vapours are explosive.
The following points should be observed.
• Use only an approved container.
• Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel with the power source running. Allow
engine and exhaust components to cool down before refuelling.
• Do not smoke.
• Never refuel indoors.
• Never store the hedge trimmer or fuel container inside where there is an open
ame, such as near a water heater.
• If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the power source, but move the hedge
trimmer away from the spillage before starting.
• Always replace and securely tighten the fuel cap after refuelling.
• If the fuel tank is drained, this should be done outdoors.
>
If the cutting mechanism strikes any foreign object or the hedge trimmer starts
making any unusual noise or vibration, shut off the power source and allow the
hedge trimmer to stop. Disconnect the spark plug connector from the spark plug
and take the following steps.
• Inspect for damage.
• Check for, and tighten, any loose parts.
• Have any damaged parts replaced or repaired with parts having equivalent
specications.
> In an emergency: stop the engine by immediately releasing the throttle control and
push the stop switch to Oposition.
Operation
> Stop the engine before:
• cleaning or when clearing a blockage;
• checking, carrying out maintenance or working on the hedge trimmer;
• adjusting the working position of the cutting device;
• leaving the hedge trimmer unattended.
> Ensure that the hedge trimmer is correctly located in a designated working position
before starting the engine.
>
While operating the hedge trimmer, always ensure that the operating position is safe
and secure, especially when using steps or a ladder.
>
Do not operate the hedge trimmer with a damaged or excessively worn cutting device.
>
To reduce re hazards, keep the engine and silencer free of debris, leaves and
excessive lubricant.
>
Always ensure that all handles and guards are tted when using the hedge trimmer.
Never attempt to use an incomplete hedge trimmer or one tted with an unauthorized
modication.
> Always use two hands to operate a hedge trimmer.

Getting Started . . .
> Always be aware of your surroundings and stay alert for possible hazards of which
you might not be aware due to the noise of the hedge trimmer.
>
Keep all parts of the body away from the cutting blade. A moment of inattention while
operating the hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
Maintenance and storage
>
When the hedge trimmer is stopped for servicing, inspection or storage, shut off the
power source, make sure all moving parts have come to a stop and disconnect the
spark plug connector from the spark plug. Allow the hedge trimmer to cool before
making any inspections, adjustments, etc.
>
Store the hedge trimmer where the fuel vapour will not reach an open ame or spark.
Always allow the hedge trimmer to cool down before storing.
>
When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer, always t the cutting device transport
> guard.
>
Empty the fuel tank after every use. Run the product dry of fuel in idle before storage.
>
Dispose of waste oil and fuel at a local petrol station, local authority centre or where
facilities exist.
Fuel handling
>
Always switch the equipment off, disconnect the spark plug connector and let the
equipment cool down before refuelling it.
> Fuel and fuel vapour are highly ammable. Take care when handling fuel.
> Do not smoke while operating the equipment, handling fuel or near fuel.
>
Always use suitable aids such as funnels and ller necks. Do not spill any fuel on
the equipment or its exhaust system. There is a risk of ignition. Remove spilled fuel
carefully from all parts of the equipment. Any residue which may be present must
have completely volatilised, before the equipment is put into operation!
> Never refuel indoors.
>
Never use the equipment in environments where there is a risk of explosion. Exhaust
gases and fuel fumes are noxious. Fuel fumes can ignite.
> Avoid skin contact with petrol.
> Do not eat or drink, while you are refuelling the equipment. If you have swallowed
petrol or oil, or if petrol or oil has got into your eyes, then seek the advice of a doctor
immediately.
> Tighten the fuel tank cap thoroughly after relling the fuel tank.
> Fuel vapour pressure may build up inside the fuel tank depending on the fuel used,
weather conditions and the tank venting system. To reduce the risk of burns and
other personal injuries, remove the fuel tank cap carefully to allow any pressure
build up to release slowly.
>
Ensure the spark plug connector is secure after relling the fuel tank. Loose connector
may cause electrical arcing that could ignite combustible fumes and cause a re
or explosion.

> Use caution when handling fuel. To avoid any accidental res, move the equipment
at least 3 metres from the fuelling point before starting the engine.
> Do not operate the equipment if it is leaking fuel.
> Do not remove the fuel tank cap while the engine is running.
> Do not store cans of fuel or rell the fuel tank in any place where there is a boiler,
stove, wood re, electrical sparks, welding sparks, or other sources of heat or re
which might ignite the fuel.
> If any fuel spillage occurs during refuelling, use a dry rag to wipe up spills and allow
remaining fuel to evaporate before starting the engine on again.
> If you have spilt fuel on yourself or on your clothes, change your clothes and wash
any part of your body that has come in contact with fuel before turning the engine
on again.
> If fuel has ignited, put out the re with a dry powder re extinguisher.
> Never breathe in any fuel fumes, when you are refuelling the equipment.
> Keep fuel fresh (less than 30 days) or add fuel stabiliser.
Vibration and noise reduction
To reduce the impact of noise and vibration emission, limit the time of operation, use
low-vibration and low-noise operating modes as well as wear personal protective
equipment.
Take the following points into account to minimise the vibration and noise exposure risks:
> Only use the equipment as intended by its design and these instructions.
> Ensure that the equipment is in good condition and well maintained.
> Use correct attachments for the equipment and ensure they are in good condition.
> Keep a tight grip on the handles/gripping surfaces.
>
Maintain this equipment in accordance with these instructions and keep it well
lubricated (where appropriate).

Filling up fuel and oil
WARNING! This equipment is not supplied with petrol-oil mixture in the engine!
Before operating this equipment it is essential to ll it with petrol-oil mixture!
This equipment is equipped with a 2-stroke engine. The fuel and oil tank are combined
and it is essential to ll a fuel-oil mixture before operating this equipment. Observe the
technical specications for suitable fuel and engine oil.
WARNING! Fuel and oil are highly inammable! Fumes will explode if lit!
Ensure that there are no naked ames around the equipment! Do not smoke
while lling fuel and oil!
NOTE: To avoid spillage and to lter out debris, use a funnel with lter to ll
the fuel mixing bottle (20) and the fuel tank (16).
1.
Place the equipment on a stable, level surface with the fuel tank cap (15) facing
upwards. We recommend laying a non-ammable sheet under the equipment.
2.
Pour a regular-grade unleaded petrol and a quality engine oil for air cooled 2-stroke
engines in the supplied fuel mixing bottle (20) respectively via the 2 openings. Use
the scale markings on different sides for the desired ratio for petrol:oil. For example,
ll petrol to scale marking “10” rst, and then ll 2-stroke oil to scale marking “10”.
This indicates a correct ratio of 40:1 when using the scale 40:1.
3. Tilt and shake the bottle thoroughly to mix the fuel.
NOTE: Use an anti-oxidant added quality oil expressly labelled for air-cooledUse an anti-oxidant added quality oil expressly labelled for air-cooled
2 stroke engine use (JASO FC GRADE OIL or ISO EGC GRADE). Do not use2 stroke engine use (JASO FC GRADE OIL or ISO EGC GRADE). Do not use
BIA or TWC (2 stroke water-cooling type) mixed oil.BIA or TWC (2 stroke water-cooling type) mixed oil. The recommended mixing
ratio for petrol:oil is 40:1 which means the mixture consisting of 40 parts of
petrol and 1 part of oil.
CAUTION! Risk of equipment damage. Never mix fuel and oil directly in the
fuel tank (16).

NOTE: Fuel and oil deteriorate over time. It may be difcult to start the engine
if you use fuel which has been kept for more than 30 days. Towards the end of
the season, it is advisable to put only as much fuel in the tank as you need for
each use, since it should be completely used up before storing the equipment.
Empty remaining fuel from the tank after each use.
