Filling the tank
■
Clean surface around fuel cap to prevent
contamination.
■
Loosen the fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to
keep fuel from escaping around the cap.
■
Carefully pour fuel mixture into the tank. Avoid spillage.
■
Prior to replacing the fuel cap, clean and inspect the
gasket.
■
Immediately replace fuel cap and hand tighten. Wipe
up any fuel spillage. Move 9 m away from refuelling
site before starting engine.
NOTE:
It is normal for smoke to be emitted from a new
engine during and after first use.
WARNING
Always shut off engine before fuelling. Never add fuel to
a machine with a running or hot engine. Move at least 9
m (30 ft) from refuelling site before starting the engine.
Do not smoke.
OPERATING THE STRING TRIMMER
See
fi
gure 9.
■
Hold the product with the right hand on the trigger
handle and the left hand on the left handle. Keep a
firm grip with both hands while in operation.
■
The product should be held at a comfortable position
with the trigger handle about hip height.
■
Always operate the product at full throttle. Prolonged
cutting at partial throttle will result in lubricant dripping
from the silencer.
■
Cut tall grass from the top down to prevent grass from
wrapping around the shaft housing and string head
which may cause damage from overheating.
■
If grass becomes wrapped around the string head,
stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and
remove the grass.
CUTTING TIPS
See
fi
gure 10.
■
Keep the product tilted towards the area being cut.
■
Do not use in dangerous environments.
■
Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force
the string head into the uncut grass.
■
Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, kerbs and wood may
wear string rapidly.
■
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood mouldings,
cladding and fence posts can be easily damaged by
the string.
