What’s In The Box
You are now the proud owner of a powerful Petrol Grass
Strimmer Brush Cutter. With its 2-stroke engine it makes light
work of even the toughest of tasks. The strimmer is not only
extremely versatile, but very easy to operate and maintain. With
its twin line and 3 toothed cutting blade, the Trueshopping
Petrol Strimmer is ideal for professional clean-up jobs, including
clearing out tough weeds and bushes over a large surface area.
In addition, the Trueshopping Petrol Brush cutter has a very high
power to weight ratio and easily starts in all weathers. It also
boasts maximum efficiency, high torque and rapid acceleration.
The machine features an ergonomic harness, which spreads the
load, improving comfort and efficiency for the user, and a
bike-style handlebar that is angled relative to the shaft, to
prevent an uneven load being placed on the user's back. Please
see our add-ons for this strimmer as you may want to add some
useful attachments to your order.

Fuelling
Fuelling. Always switch the engine off before
filling up. Do not smoke whilst fuelling.
The use of unleaded petrol is recommended for
environment protection reasons. Only use
two-stroke engine oil for air-cooled engines.
Ratio of mixture 40:1
Open the tank cap carefully so that any overpressure may be let
out and the fuel does not splash out.
High temperatures build up on the machine body when working
with the machine, therefore, leave the machine to cool down
before filling up the fuel, otherwise, the fuel could ignite
spontaneously and create a risk of burns.
Do not store or transport the fuel in the mixing container.
When replenishing the fuel, be careful not to overfill the tank. If
the fuel drips off, it should be removed immediately and the
machine cleaned. Safely dispose of any cloths that are used to
wipe up fuel. Change and then wash any clothes that fuel drips
onto.
After filling up, check screw closure for the firm fit to prevent
loosening at work because of vibrations.
