edge of the filler neck.
6. Close the petrol cap again.
7. Make sure that the petrol cap is leak-tight.
8. Clean the petrol cap and the surroundings.

BEFORE FIRST USE
The hedge trimmer is supplied without fuel mixture.
Fill up the tool as described under "FUEL AND OIL
MIXTURE".
FUEL AND OIL MIXTURE
When handling petrol, increased attention is
called for. Avoid smoking and naked flame.
For best results use regular unleaded petrol mixed
with 2-stroke air-cooled engine oil on a ratio of 40:1
(25 mL oil per litre of petrol). The supplied fuel mixing
bottle can also be used to accurately mix the fuel.
WARNING: Never use unmixed petrol in your en-
gine. This will cause permanent damage and void
the manufacturer’s warranty for the product. Never
use a fuel mixture that has been stored for more
than 30 days.
WARNING: 2-stroke lubricant must be premium
grade oil for 2-stroke air-cooled engines mixed at a
40:1 ratio. Do not use any 2-stroke oil product with
a recommended mix ratio of 100:1. If insufficient
lubrication is the cause of engine damage, it voids
the manufacturer’s engine warranty.
Mixing
WARNING: Lack of lubrication voids engine war-
ranty. Petrol and oil must be mixed at a 40:1 ratio.

• Make sure that you measure the amount of oil precisely,
as a slight difference in a small quantity of oil can have a
significant impact on the mixing ratio.
• Do not alter the mixing ratio, as this will produce more
residue from combustion, increase fuel consumption, and
reduce performance, or the motor may be damaged.
Mix the petrol and the oil in a clean container which is ap-
proved and labelled for fuel, and which is equipped with an
overflow protection device.
1. First pour in half of the petrol required for the mixture.
2. Then add the full amount of the oil.
3. Shake up the mixture.
4. Then pour in the rest of the petrol.
Fuel can only be kept for a limited period, as it ages. Fuel and
fuel mixtures which have been stored for too long can cause
problems when starting the tool. You should therefore only
mix an amount of fuel which you can use up in a month.
Fuels may only be stored in containers which are approved
and labelled for this purpose, in a dry and safe place.
