Preparing to Operate the Hedge
Trimmer
WARNING!
Always shut off the engine before fuelling. Never add fuel
to a machine with a running or hot engine. Move at least
30ft. (9m) from the refuelling site before starting the
engine. Do not smoke!
IMPORTANT!
It is crucial that the fuel is mixed correctly.
Wrongly mixed fuel can cease the engine and void the
warranty. Carefully read these instructions and use the
supplied bottle for mixing. When filling the mixing bottle,
use a funnel while keeping the bottle flat, to ensure a good
reading.
