Operating instructions
Harness
Note:
Adjust the harness so that the trimmer is supported and well-balanced.
Fuel
•
Warning:
Never refuel the product while the engine is running.

Fire hazard.
Never use the grass trimmer or handle fuel in the proximity
of open flames or in areas where sparks may occur. Never smoke while
refuelling, mixing fuel or when handling fuel in any other way.
Note:
Always refuel outdoors,
never
indoors.
Switching on
Note:
A new engine should be “run in” by using it at low speed and with low resistance
for the first few hours. This will help all the moving parts of the engine to loosen up and
mate together better and will ultimately lengthen the useful life of the engine. After it has
been run in, the engine will provide maximum performance and can be operated at full
load. However, the engine should only be operated at full throttle for short periods.
Warning:
Before switching the trimmer on, check that:
• The harness is intact.
• The trimmer is undamaged and all the screws are tight.
• You have read and understood the entire instruction manual.
• There is fuel in the tank and that the fuel cap is locked.
• You are wearing all the necessary safety equipment (safety shoes, trousers, jacket,
gloves, helmet with visor, ear defenders and glasses/goggles) that the trimmer is
intact and working properly.
• The trimmer is clean and all the ventilation slits on the engine housing are free of
dirt and debris.
