WARNING! The information contained within this safety section is extremely
important. Personal injury to the user and to others may result if this section
is not read and acted upon at all times.
Tips on Multi Tool Safety.
1. Before starting your multi tool inspect it carefully to ensure that there are no loose parts
and that it is in good working order.
2. Be sure of your footing. Always walk, never run, when operating the multi tool.
3. Clear the area of any stones, sticks, wire and debris before beginning, and Always ensure
that you operate your multi tool a safe distance away (over 14 metres) from adults,
children and animals.
4. Keep hands, feet and clothing away from the multi tool’s moving parts, and always
wear appropriate footwear (avoid sandals or open shoes).
5. Never put your hands or feet underneath the guard of the multi tool while the engine is
running.
6. Be aware that the machine’s exhaust area and other parts of the multi tool get very hot
during, and right after use.
7. Turn off the engine and disconnect the spark plug cap before cleaning,
transporting or making adjustments.
8. We recommend you avoid trimming when it is raining, or after nightfall.
9. Do not fill the tank, or start the multi tool indoors, or in a poorly ventilated area, as exhaust
gases contain poisonous substances and petrol fumes are flammable and dangerous.
10. Never open the fuel filter cap, or fill the tank, if the engine is still hot after use.
Please ensure that you securely tighten the petrol cap after filling.
11. Do not transport the multi tool in a vehicle, if there is any petrol in the tank.
12. Store fuel and oil in a cool well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and not near gas
cylinders or hot water heater systems.
14. Sanli recommends that you wear ear protectors, safety goggles and safety boots when using a
multi tool.
15. All servicing and repair work under warranty must be carried out by an Authorised Sanli Dealer,
otherwise the warranty may be void.

Starting your multi tool.
Before operating your multi tool, mix 40 parts of regular unleaded petrol to 1 part
2- stroke oil (40:1). Do not overfill the tank as this can risk fuel spilling on hot components when
in use. It is recommended that you make your mixture with a fuel mixing bottle
Slide the ignition switch, away from the
STOP position (Fig 18).
Fig 18
Press the primer bulb three or four times
until a flow of fuel is visible inside the fuel
line (Fig 19).
Set choke lever into closed position, if
starting from cold (Fig 20).
Pull the starter cord until the multi
tool starts (or makes a false start),
then return choke to the open
position.
Re-attempt to start and after it starts, allow
the engine to warm up for at least 20 to 30
seconds. For warm restarts, do not prime,
just pull the cord and it will start after one or
two pulls.

Basic maintenance made easy.
1. Spark plug.
Wait until the engine has cooled before disconnecting the spark plug located under the rubber
cover and then removing the spark plug with the box spanner supplied. If it is dirty, you can clean
the plug with a wire brush.
The applicable spark plug for this machine is the NGK BPMR7A. For optimum results we advise you
to replace the spark plug after 20 hours of use.
When refitting the spark plug take care not to over-tighten.If adjusting yourself,note that the spark
plug gap must be set initially to 0.6 but after the machine has been used for some time,
regulate the gap to 0.7 mm.
2. Air filter.
Fig 19
Ensure that the engine is cool,remove the air filter cover and then take out the air filter
element, see ( F i g 1 9), Put the cover back on the housing immediately to prevent any
objects falling into the air intake.
Carefully brush off any excess dirt particles, or clean filter element using lukewarm soapy water.
When cleaning with water, rinse thoroughly and allow to dry before replacing air filter element.
3. Storing petrol & oil.
WARNING! Petrol is highly flammable so extreme caution must be taken. Always store
petrol in approved containers and ensure petrol is less than 30 days old.
WARNING! If the multi tool is not serviced correctly, you could voidwarranty and reduce
its ability to operate effectively.
