Fueling
WARNING
● Always shut off the engine and let it cool for
a few minutes before refueling.
Do not smoke or bring fl ames or sparks near
the fueling site.
● Slowly open the fuel tank, when fi lling up
with fuel, so that possible over-pressure
disappears.
● Tighten the fuel cap carefully, after fueling.
● Always move the trimmer at least 10 ft (3 m)
from the fueling area before starting.
● Always wash any spilled fuel from clothing
immediately with soap.
● Be sure to check for any fuel leakage after
refueling.
● Before fueling, in order to remove static
electricity from the main body, the fuel
container and the operator, please touch the
ground that is slightly damp.
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.
