SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Personal protective equipment FIRST AID KIT Always have a first aid kit nearby. IMPORTANT! Whenever you use a clearing saw, brushcutter or trimmer you must wear personal protective equipment that is approved by the authorities. Personal protective equipment does not eliminate the risk of accidents, but it can reduce the effects of an injury in the event of an accident. Ask your dealer for help when choosing protective equipment.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING! Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters get very hot during use and remain so for some time after stopping. This also applies at idle speed. Contact can result in burns to the skin. Remember the risk of fire! Cutting attachment guard This guard is intended to prevent loose objects from being thrown towards the operator. The guard also protects the operator from accidental contact with the cutting attachment.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Throttle lock Stop switch S Make sure the throttle control is locked at the idle setting when the throttle lock is released. S Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when you push and hold the stop switch. Cutting attachment guard S Press the throttle lock and make sure it returns to its original position when you release it. S Ensure that the guard is undamaged and is not cracked.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Cutting equipment Trimmer head This section describes how to choose and maintain your cutting equipment in order to: S Obtain maximum cutting performance. S Extend the life of cutting equipment. S Only use the recommended cutting attachments. See the section on “Technical data”. General rules S Smaller machines generally require small trimmer heads and vice versa.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS General safety precautions WARNING! A faulty cutting attachment may increase the risk of accidents. IMPORTANT! S The machine is only designed for trimming grass. S The only accessories you can operate with this engine unit are the cutting attachments we recommend in the “Technical data” section. S Never use wire, rope, string, etc.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 3. Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check the area around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks, branches, ditches, etc.) in case you have to move suddenly. Take great care when working on sloping ground. S If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines. S Avoid all skin contact with fuel. Fuel is a skin irritant and may even cause skin changes.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Clearing Sweeping S The clearing technique removes all unwanted vegetation. Keep the trimmer head just above the ground and tilt it. Let the end of the trimmer line strike the ground around trees, posts, statues and the like. CAUTION! This technique increases the wear on the trimmer line. S The fan effect of the rotating line can be used for quick and easy clearing up. Hold the trimmer line parallel to and above the area to be swept and move the tool to and fro.

FUEL HANDLING Fuel CAUTION! The machine is equipped with a two--stroke engine and must always be run using a mixture of gasoline and two-stroke engine oil. It is important to accurately measure the amount of oil to be mixed to ensure that the correct mixture is obtained. When mixing small amounts of fuel, even small inaccuracies can drastically affect the ratio of the mixture. S Always start by flling half the amount of the gasoline to be used. Then add the entire amount of oil.
STARTING AND STOPPING Cold engine S Clean the area around the fuel cap. Contamination in the tank can cause operating problems. S Ensure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container before filling the tank. Air purge: Press the air purge diaphragm 6 -- 10 times until fuel begins to fill the diaphragm. The diaphragm need not be completely filled. Check before starting S Inspect the unit before each use. Replace damaged parts. Check for fuel leaks. Make sure all fasteners are in place and secure.
STARTING AND STOPPING Warm engine With a warm engine, squeeze and hold the throttle trigger. Pull starter rope sharply while squeezing throttle trigger until engine runs. Stopping Stop the engine by pushing and holding the stop switch in the STOP position until the engine stops. WARNING! When the engine is started with the choke in the closed position the cutting attachment will start to rotate immediately.
