AVOID NOISE PROBLEMS
Check and follow the local regulations for sound levels and hours of operation for garden machinery.
In general, operate brush cutters between 8 am and 5 pm on week days and 9 am to 5 pm at weekends.
Avoid using the brush cutter late at night and/or early in the morning.
SAFETY WHEN USING THE BRUSH CUTTER
When using the brush cutter, grip the handles firmly with both hands, place your feet slightly apart so
your weight is distributed evenly across both legs, and always maintain a steady even posture while
working.
Maintain full engine speed when cutting.
Never allow other persons to come within the work area as doing so might expose them to danger.
Keep work area clear of all persons, particularly small children and pets. Injury may
result from flying debris.
If grass or other objects get caught in the brush cutter during operation, always stop the
engine before removing the object.
Never touch the spark plug or plug HT cable while the engine is in operation, doing
so
may result in an electrical shock.
Never touch the exhaust, spark plug, or any metallic parts while the engine is in
operation or immediately after shutting down the engine, these parts reach high
temperatures during operation and doing so could result in serious burns.
When you finish cutting in one location and wish to continue work in another area,
stop the engine. Always remove fuel from the fuel tank before transportation to prevent
fuel spillage.
Never leave the brush cutter exposed to direct sunlight as this can heat the fuel tank
and may cause a discharge of fuel, and flood the engine.
Be careful not to hit the nylon cutting head against stones or the ground.
TWO-STROKE FUEL
Fuel is very flammable. Do not smoke or bring any flame or sparks near fuel.
Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before refuelling.
Refuel outdoors on bare ground, restart engine at least 5m away from the
refuelling stop.
The engine is lubricated by oil mixed into petrol. Prepare a mixture of unleaded
petrol and semi-synthetic two-stroke oil that meets the specifications of:
API TC,
ISO-L-EGC, JASO FC (Low Smoke) oil.
Recommended mixing ratio is
25
:1.
FUEL WITH NO OIL (RAW PETROL) will cause severe damage to the engine which is not covered
by manufacturer's warranty.
Use fresh, unleaded petrol (95 RON) and semi-synthetic oil specially made for high performance
two-stroke engines. Mix in a ratio of
25
parts petrol to 1 part of oil
.
By using two-stroke oil specially made for two-stroke engines you will reduce the formation of ash and
carbon deposits on the spark plug, piston, exhaust muffler and cylinder, as well as reducing emissions of
harmful exhaust gases.
Oil FOR 4-CYCLE ENGINES should not be used as two-stroke lubrication oil as it can cause fouling of
the spark plug, exhaust port blocking, piston ring sticking and other internal engine damage.
