Fuels/Refueling, Correct Handling of Machine

FUELS/REFUELING

Handling fuel

Utmost care required when handling fuel. Fuel may contain substances similar to solvents. Refuel either in a well ventilated room or outdoors.

Do not inhale fuel vapors, avoid any contact of fuel or oil with your skin.

Mineral oil products degrease you skin. If your skin contacts with these substances repeatedly and for an extended period of time, it will desiccate. Various skin diseases may result. In addition, allergic reactions may occur. Eyes can be irritated by contact with oil. If oil comes into your eyes, immediately wash them with clear water. If your eyes are still irritated, see a doctor immediately.

Fuel and oil mixture

This brush-cutter (string-trimmer) is powered by a high-efficiency two-stroke engine being run with a mixture of fuel and two-stroke engine oil. The engine is designed for unleaded gasoline intended for automotive use with an octane rating of 87 or higher.

For lubricating the engine, use any brand of premium 2-stroke engine oil classified as grade ISO-L-EGD or JSAO- FC to be added to the fuel. Using any other oil will shorten the engine life and increase the required maintenance. It is absolutely required to observe a mixture ratio of 50 : 1 (2-stroke engine oil specified above), unless otherwise reliable function of the brush cutter ( or string trimmer ) cannot be guaranteed.

Correct Fuel Mixture ( 50 : 1 )

Gasoline		Oil
1	Gallon (US)	2.6 oz.
1	Liter	20 cc ( 20ml )
5	Liter	100cc ( 100ml )

STOP

Observe the Safety Instructions

on page 6.

Note :

When doing the fuel-oil mixture, first mix the entire oil quantity with half of the fuel required, then add the remaining fuel. Before filling it into the brush-cut- ter ( string trimmer ) tank, thoroughly shake the mixture. It is not recommended to add more engine oil than specified to ensure safe operation. This will result in a higher production of combustion residues which will pollute the environment and clog the exhaust channel in the cylinder as well as the muffler. In addition, the fuel consumption will rise and the performance will decrease.

Refuelling

Follow the appropriate manners described on page 6.

Storage of Fuel

Fuel cannot be stored for an unlimited period of time.

Purchase only the quantity required for a 4 week operating period. Use only approved fuel storage containers.

CORRECT HANDLING OF MACHINE

Attachment of shoulder strap

Always wear the shoulder strap and adjust the strap length so that the cutter blade is kept parallel with the ground.

Detachment

The shoulder strap has a quick release latch. In an emergency, pull the red strap (A) to detach the machine from you. Be extremely careful to maintain control of the machine at this time. Do not allow the machine to be deflected toward you or anyone in the work vicinity.

WARNING : Failure to maintain complete control of the machine may result in serious bodily injury or death.

To reassemble, remove the spring clip (B) from the machine, place open end over the strap buckle (C) and then insert the release blade (D).
