OPERATION
Mixing Tips
■ Always start by filling the supplied fuel container with half of the required amount of petrol.
■ Then add the entire amount of 2-cycle lubricant. Close the container and shake to mix the
lubricant with the petrol.
■ Add the remaining amount of petrol, close the fuel container, and shake again.
■ Ensure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container before filling the fuel tank (Fig. 15).
Filling the Fuel Tank
(See Fig. 16)
NOTICE:
Before each use, ALWAYS shake the fuel container thoroughly to ensure that the fuel is
mixed completely.
■ Place the tool on a flat, level surface, outdoors.
■ Clean the area around the fuel tank and cap to prevent any contamination.
■ Loosen the fuel tank cap by turning it counter-clockwise and remove (Fig. 16).
■ Carefully pour the fuel into the fuel tank. Tilt engine for better access to the inlet if necessary.
Avoid spilling fuel, the use of a funnel is recommended. Clean and check the gasket before
replacing the cap onto the fuel tank.
NOTICE:
Do not refuel near any heat source.
■ DO NOT leave the fuel tank unsealed while it contains fuel. Replace the cap immediately after
filling and inspecting the tank. Check that the cap is sealed tightly and wipe clean any spillage
that may have occurred.

The operation of this tool requires petrol, an extremely flammable liquid. Always turn off the engine
and allow it to cool completely before fueling. Never remove the fuel tank cap or add the fuel to the
tool while it is running or the engine is still hot. Make sure to fuel the tool outdoors on a flat, level
surface. After fueling, immediately replace the fuel tank cap and tighten it securely. DO NOT fill
the fuel tank on the work site; fueling must occur at least 3 m from where the operator intends to
start the engine. Keep the tool away from smoke, open flames and sparks! Failure to follow these
instructions could result in an explosion, fire and cause serious personal injury.
