A 2-cycle oil containing a fuel stabiliser is recommended. WARNING Always shut off engine before refuelling. Never add fuel to a machine with a running or hot engine. Move at least 9 m (30 ft) from refuelling site before starting engine. Do not smoke! 1 2 3 4 5 Litre Litres Litres Litres Litres + + + + + 20 40 60 80 100 ml ml ml ml ml = = = = = } 50:1 OPERATING THE TRIMMER Hold the trimmer/brushcutter with the right hand on the rear handle and the left hand on the front handle. Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation. Trimmer should be held at a comfortable position with the rear handle about hip height. Always operate trimmer at full throttle. This will prevent grass from wrapping round the shaft housing and string head, which may cause damage from overheating. If grass becomes wrapped round the string head, stop the engine, disconnect the sparking plug wire, and remove the grass. Prolonged cutting at partial throttle will result in oil dripping from the silencer. FILLING THE TANK 1. Clean surface around fuel cap to prevent contamination. Loosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to keep fuel from escaping round the cap. Carefully pour fuel mixture into the tank. Prior to replacing the fuel cap, clean and inspect the gasket. Immediately replace fuel cap and hand tighten. Move 9 m (30 ft) away from refuelling site before starting engine. NOTE: It is normal for smoke to be emitted from a new engine during and after first use. 11 12 OPERATION ADVANCING THE STRING ADVANCING STRING USING THE EZ LINETM TAP ADVANCE SYSTEM String advance is controlled by tapping string head on grass while running engine at full throttle.
