SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Check that the cutting tool does not rotate when the engine is idling. If the tool rotates when idling, stop working and contact your dealer.
• Read all the instructions and safety instructions before use. Failure to follow all the instructions and safety instructions can result in the risk of electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
• Never allow children, or anyone who is unfamiliar with the machine and these instructions, to use it.
• Never start or run the engine in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas – inhalation of exhaust fumes is harmful and can result in unconsciousness and fatal injury.
• Check that there are no people, animals or other obstacles in the work area. Remove any objects that can fasten in or be thrown out by the machine.
• Wear safety glasses.
• Wear heavy-duty, tight-fitting long trousers, safety shoes and safety gloves.
• Do not wear loose-fitting clothes or shorts, and do not work barefoot. Do not wear jewellery.
• Always keep the machine on your right side.

Fuel

• Petrol is highly flammable and in some situations explosive.
• Handle and fill up with fuel outdoors or in a well-ventilated area, with the engine switched off and at a safe distance from sparks and naked flames. Never store fuel where there can be naked flames, e.g. smoking or sparks.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank. Check after filling that the filler cap is properly fitted. Avoid spilling fuel. Spilt fuel and fumes from the spilt fuel can easily ignite. Wipe up any spilt fuel before starting the engine.

Other safety instructions

• The exhaust fumes from the engine are very hot, and the exhaust system remains hot after the engine is switched off. Always allow the engine and the exhaust system to cool before putting the machine away indoors, to reduce the risk of fire and burns.
• Take regular breaks when working. Always maintain a firm footing and good balance.
• Wear approved safety shoes with non-slip soles and a comfortable fit, tight-fitting clothes, safety glasses, ear protection, a safety helmet and vibration-damping gloves.
• When working with the machine, keep other people away from the risk zone, i.e. at least 15 metres away. Wear safety glasses, ear protection, a safety helmet, safety shoes, leg guards, and, if necessary, full body protection. Persons immediately outside the risk zone should wear safety glasses and suitable protection from flying objects. The risk diminishes the further you are away from the clearing saw.
• The trimmer head or blade continues to rotate for several seconds after the engine has been switched off. Remain at a safe distance until all moving parts have completely stopped.

HOW TO USE

FUEL

• Risk of personal injury.
• Petrol is highly flammable and can, in some circumstances, be explosive.
• Switch off the engine and allow it to cool before refilling with fuel.
• Follow all the safety instructions for handling fuel.
• Always refuel before use.

NOTE

• The recommended mixing ratio is 40:1
• 40 parts fuel to 1 part oil.
• Mix the fuel with good-quality 2-stroke oil, intended for air-cooled 2-stroke engines.

Filling

1. Shake the container with the fuel mixture.
2. Place the clearing saw on a level, stable surface with the fuel cap facing upwards.
3. Clean the filler cap and the area around the opening to avoid contamination entering the tank.
4. Carefully open the filler cap so any overpressure is relieved. Use a funnel and do not overfill. FIG. 6
5. Carefully fill up with fuel. Avoid spilling.
6. Replace the filler cap and tighten firmly.
7. Wipe off spilt fuel and allow any fuel residue to evaporate before starting the engine.

NOTE

• Never use oil intended for 4-stroke engines or water-cooled 2-stroke engines. This oil can contaminate the spark plug and exhaust port, or cause the engine to seize.
• Fuel mixed with oil that has stood for more than one month can contaminate the carburettor and prevent the engine from working properly. Store leftover fuel dark and cool in an air-tight container.
• Switch off the engine before filling up with fuel. Never fill up with fuel when the engine is running or hot. Fire risk.

STARTING THE TRIMMER
