MOTOR FUEL: mix the petrol and oil at

only
Use fresh unleaded petrol. You must use 100% synthetic oil specifically made for
heavily stressed two stroke engines.
Mix the petrol and oil in an approved container. Never mix fuel directly in the line
trimmer fuel tank.
Place the brush cutter upright on the ground or on a sturdy bench and wipe any
debris from around the fuel cap.
Unscrew the fuel tank cap and pour the mixture into the tank with the aid of a
funnel.
Be careful not to spill any mixture. If this happens, wipe the spill with a clean rag.
Start the engine at least three metres away from the area where the fuel tank has
been filled up in order to avoid any risk of fire.

Never attempt to fuel the line trimmer if the fuel system components are damaged
or are leaking.
Never attempt the refuel the engine while it is running or still warm, allow it to cool
