FUELS/REFUELLING Handling fuel Utmost care is required when handling fuel. Fuel may contain substances similar to solvents. Refuel either in a well ventilated room or outdoors. Do not inhale fuel vapors, avoid any contact of fuel or oil with your skin. Mineral oil products degrease your skin. If your skin comes in contact with these substances repeatedly and for an extended period of time, it will desiccate. Various skin diseases may result. In addition, allergic reactions may occur.
CORRECT HANDLING OF MACHINE Attachment of shoulder strap – Adjust the strap length so that the cutter blade will be kept parallel with the ground. POINTS IN OPERATION AND HOW TO STOP Observe the applicable accident prevention regulations. Starting Move at least 3 m away from the place of refuelling.

Also, dry the electrode section of the spark plug.
NYLON CUTTING HEAD Most effective cutting area The nylon cutting head is a dual string trimmer head capable of both automatic and bump & feed mechanisms.
