Fuel handling
1. Always switch the machine off, disconnect the spark plug connector and let the
machine cool down before refuelling it.
2. Fuel and fuel vapour are highly ammable. Take care when handling fuel.
3. Do not smoke while operating the machine, handling fuel or near fuel.
4. Always use suitable aids such as funnels and ller necks. Do not spill any fuel on
the machine or its exhaust system. There is a risk of ignition. Remove spilled fuel
carefully from all parts of the machine. Any residue which may be present must have
completely volatilised, before the machine is put into operation!
5. Never refuel indoors.
6. Never use the machine in environments where there is a risk of explosion. Exhaust
gases and fuel fumes are noxious. Fuel fumes can ignite.
7. Avoid skin contact with petrol.
8. Do not eat or drink, while you are refuelling the machine. 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.
9. Tighten the fuel tank cap thoroughly after relling the fuel tank.
10. 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.
11. Ensure the spark plug connector is secure. Loose connector may cause electrical
arcing that could ignite combustible fumes and cause a re or explosion.
12. Use caution when handling fuel. To avoid any accidental res, move the machine at
least 3 metres from the fuelling point before starting the engine.
13. Do not operate the machine if it is leaking fuel.
14. Do not remove the fuel tank cap while the engine is running.
15. Do not store cans of fuel or rell 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.
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. If fuel has ignited, put out the re with a dry powder re extinguisher.
19. Never breathe in any fuel fumes, when you are refuelling the machine.
20. Keep fuel fresh (less than 30 days) or add fuel stabiliser.
Transport and storage
1. Stop the engine before transporting the machine.
2. Ret the transport cover on the cutting blade during transportation or storage.

3. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
4. Never store the machine with petrol in the tank inside a building where fumes can
reach an open ame or spark.
5. Store the machine and fuel so that there is no risk of leakages or fumes coming
into contact with sparks or naked ames from electrical equipment, electric motors,
relays/switches, boilers etc.
6. Empty machine of fuel after every use. Run the product dry of fuel in idle before
storage.
7. Dispose of waste oil and fuel at a local petrol station, local authority centre or where
facilities exist.
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:
1. Only use the machine as intended by its design and these instructions.
2. Ensure that the machine is in good condition and well maintained.
3. Use correct attachments for the machine and ensure they in good condition.
4. Keep a tight grip on the handles/gripping surfaces.
5. Maintain this machine in accordance with these instructions and keep it well lubricated
(where appropriate).
6. Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a longer period
of time.
Emergency
Familiarise yourself with the use of this machine by means of this instruction
manual. Memorise the safety directions and follow them to the letter. This will
help to prevent risks and hazards.
1. Always be alert when using this machine, so that you can recognise and handle
risks early. Fast intervention can prevent serious injury and damage to property.
2. Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug connector if there are
malfunctions. Have the machine checked by a qualied professional and repaired,
if necessary, before you operate it again.
3. In case of re stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug connector. Take
re-extinguishing measures immediately if the machine switch is no longer accessible.
WARNING! Never use water to extinguish the machine on re. Burning fuel
must be extinguished with special extinguishing agents! We recommend that you
keep a suitable re extinguisher within reach in your work area! We recommend

Getting Started . . .
Filling up fuel and oil
WARNING! This machine is not supplied with petrol-oil mixture in the engine!
Before operating this machine it is essential to ll it with petrol-oil mixture!
This machine 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 machine. Observe the
technical specications for suitable fuel and engine oil.
WARNING! Fuel and oil are highly inammable! Fumes will explode if lit!
Ensure that there are no naked ames around the machine! 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 (37) and the fuel tank (8).
1. Place the machine on a stable, level surface with the fuel tank cap (7) facing upwards.
We recommend laying a non-ammable sheet under the machine.
2. Pour a regular-grade unleaded petrol and a quality engine oil for air cooled 2-stroke
engines in the supplied fuel mixing bottle (37) 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-cooled
2 stroke engine use (JASO FC GRADE OIL or ISO EGC GRADE). Do not use
BIA or TWC (2 stroke water-cooling type) mixed oil. The recommended mixing
ratio for petrol:oil is 40:1.
CAUTION! Risk of machine damage. Never mix fuel and oil directly in the
tank of the machine.
