WARNING:Petrolishighlyinflammable.Handlewiththeutmostcaretoavoid
riskoffire,burnsorexplosion.
WARNING:Yourchainsaw’senginerunsonatwo‐strokemixtureofpetroland
oil.Alwaysusethecorrectpetrol/oilratio(seesection4)andneverstartthe
enginewithjustpetrolinthetank.Theresultislikelytocauseirreversibleand
costlydamagetotheengine.

•Thebrushcutter’senginerequiresamixtureofunleaded95gradepetrol
andamineralorsemi‐syntheticoildesignedforair‐cooledtwo‐stroke
engines(seeTechnicalSpecifications,section4).
•Useonly“fresh”unleaded95RONgradepetrol.Buyonlythequantityof
petrolthatyouarelikelytouseinamonth.Petrolshouldbestoredonlyin
containersdesignedspecificallyforthepurpose,approvedandlabelledas
such.
•Mixtherequiredquantityofoilwiththepetroltoobtaintherecommended
petrol/oilratio(seeTechnicalSpecifications,section4).
•Donotmixfuelandoildirectlyinthehedgetrimmer’sfueltank.Usea
suitablecontainerandobservecarefullythemixtureratioasspecifiedin
section4.
•Alwaysfillthefueltankoutdoors,neverinanenclosedspacenorclosetoa
flameorsourceofsparksorintenseheat.Neversmokewhilehandlingfuel.
•Neverunscrewthefueltank’scapwhentheengineisrunningorishot.
•Pourthefuelslowlyintothefueltankwiththehelpofaflexiblespoutor
funnel.

Operator’sManualSanliGTS33/13
•Avoidspillingpetrolbynotoverfillingthefueltank.Leaveasmallspace
beneaththetank’srimtoallowforexpansion.Replacethetankcap
correctlyandhandtight.
•Ifanypetrolisspilled,donotstarttheengine.Removethemachinefrom
theareaofspillageandcarefullywipeitdry.Donotstartthemachineuntil
allpetrolvapourshavefullyevaporated.
•Replacethecaponthefuelcontainerandputinasafeplace,awayfrom
flames,sparksorheatsourcesandoutofthereachofchildren
•Ifyoususpectafuelleak,DONOTstarttheengine.Drainthetankfullyand
seekassistancefromanauthorisedSANLIUKdealerorserviceagent.
3.2Usingthebrushcutter
•Beforestartingwork,checkthatallguardsandsafetydevicesarepresent,

startingfromcold,butdonotusethechoke.
Iftheenginedoesnotstartafterfourpullsonthestarterhandle,continueasif
theenginewascold(byusingthechoke).
3.22Stoppingthebrushcutter
•Removeallpressurefromthethrottletrigger.
•MovetheStart/StopswitchintotheSTOPposition(markedO).
•Theengineandthemachinewillcometostopcompletelyafterabrief
moment.
3.23Extendingthecuttinglineinuse
Holdtherotatingcuttingheadparalleltothegroundand
lightlytapthecuttingheadontheground(see
illustration).Thenylonspoolwillautomaticallyreleasea
lengthofcuttingline.Ifthelineistoolong,abladeon
thedeflectorguardwillcutthelinetoitsoptimumlength.
Toavoidusingtoomuchline,donottapthecuttinghead
toomanytimesontheground.

3.24Adviceforcutting
•Cutthegrassbyswingingthecutterheadsteadilyfromlefttoright,moving
slowlyforwardkeepingthedeflectorguardparalleltotheground.Takinga
lightcutisalwayspreferabletoaheavycutasitallowsthegrasstobe
thrownwellclearofthespinningnylonspool,helpingpreventitfrom
becomingchokedwithgrass.
•Tocuttallgrass,workprogressivelyfromthetopdowntothebaseofthe
grass.Nevercutdampgrassanddonotoverloadthemachine.
•Tomaximisethelifeofthenylonline,donotallowtherotatinglineto
continuouslyimpacthardobjectssuchasstones,wallsandposts.
•Beofkick‐backwhenthemachine’smovingpartshitasolidobject.
NOTE:Regularlyremovingcutgrassthathasaccumulatedbetweenthenylon
spoolandtheinsideofthedeflectorguardwillminimiseriskofvibration.
3.25Changingthenylonspool
•Alwaysswitchofftheengineandwaitforthemachinetocometoa
completestopbeforeadjusting,maintainingorservicingthebrushcutter.
•Locatethetwoclipsholdinginplacethelidofthenylonspoolhousing.
Usingyourthumbandindexfinger,squeezeandremovebothclipsandlift
offthelid(fig.13and14).
•Liftoutthenylonspool(fig.15).
•Installafullnylonspoolbyreversingtheabovesteps,notforgettingto
insertthetwolinesthroughthesmallmetal‐ringedopeningsoneitherside
ofthehousing.Replaceandensurethatthelidisproperlyclosedand
fastened.

3.3Cleaning,storage,transportandmaintenance
Alwaysswitchofftheengineandallowthemachinetocometoacomplete
stopbeforeattemptinganymaintenanceoradjustmentofthebrushcutter.
3.31Cleaningthebrushcutter
•Cleaningthemachineaftereveryusewillhelpensurethatitperformswith
maximumefficiencyandhasalongandeffectiveworkinglife.
•Cleanthesurfaceofthemachinewithasoftdampcloth.Nevercleanthe
plasticwithachemicalproductthatmightdamageit.
WARNING:Neverimmersethebrushcutterinwaterorinotherliquidstoclean
it.Nevercleanthetoolwithastrongwaterjetorahigh‐pressurecleaner.
3.32Storingandtransportingthebrushcutter
•Ensurethatthemachineissafelyoutofthereachofchildren.
•Storethemachineinacool,dryplace,awayfromdirectsunlight.Covering
itwithatarpaulinorplasticsheetisnotrecommendedasthiscouldcause
damagingcondensation.
•Forlong‐termstorage,emptythefueltankintoasuitablecontainerand
thenruntheengineuntilitstopsofitsownaccord,havingusedupall
remainingfuel.
3.33Transportingandmaintainingthebrushcutter
Transportthebrushcutteronlywhenithascometoacompletestopwiththe
engineswitchedoff.
Lubricatingthecuttinghead’sangleadjuster
Lubricatetheangleadjusterevery25hoursor
onceayear.Unscrewthetwocapscrews(fig.
