- If you have not used the machine before, spend some time in
becoming familiar with the usage before operating.
- Work calmly and concentrated, only under good visibility
conditions and with care.
- It is forbidden to work on ladders, branches or from other
unsteady situations.
- Check the machine carefully before using it, make sure that there
are no loosened screws, damaged parts or fuel leakages.
- Check the condition of the antivibration components on a regular
basis. Avoid using the hedgetrimmer over excessively long
periods of time, excessive amounts of vibration can be harmful.

FUEL
WARNING. The machine is equipped with a two stroke engine.
Always run the machine with fuel, which is mixed with oil. Only
prepare the quantity of fuel for each job. Do not smoke. Refill
when the engine is switched off and away from a naked flame.
AIways use a minimum octane number of 90.
Mix fresh gasoline and ACTIVE oil in the ratio of 50:1 (2%). If the
ACTIVE oil is not available use a good 2 stroke oil quality in the
ratio of 25:1 (4%) see fig.15.
Important: always shake this fuel mix vigorously each time you
use it. Fuel mix properties deteriorate with time we therefore
recommend that you only make the quantity of fuel mix you will
need for each usage. Do not use fuel mix more than a week old
as this could damage the engine. Fill the brushcutter fuel tank
only to 3/4 capacity to allow for fuel expansion.
FUELING
WARNING: always shut off the engine before refueling. Slowly
open the cap of the fuel tank, when filling up with fuel, so that
possible over pressure disappears. Tighten the fuel cap carefully
after fuelling. Always move the machine at least 3 m (10Ft) from
the fueling area before starting. Before fueling clean the tank
cap area carefully, to ensure that no dirt falls into the tank make
sure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container before
fueling.
