FUEL AND REFUELLING
HANDLING THE FUEL SAFELY
Always handle fuel with care. It is highly flammable.
Always refuel outdoors where there are no sparks
and flames. Do not inhale fuel vapour.
Do not let petrol or oil come in contact with your skin.
Keep petrol and oil away from the eyes. If petrol or oil
comes in contact with the eyes, wash them
immediately with clean water. If irritation is still
present, see a doctor immediately.
Clean up spilled fuel immediately.
MIXING THE FUEL
This product is powered by a 2-cycle engine and
requires pre-mixing petrol and 2-cycle oil. Pre-mix
unleaded petrol and 2-cycle engine oil in a clean
container approved for petrol.
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded petrol
intended for motor vehicle use with an octane rating
of 87 ([R + M] / 2) or higher.
Do not use any type of pre-mixed petrol/oil from fuel
service stations. This includes the pre-mixed petrol/oil
intended for use in mopeds, motorcycles etc.
Use high a quality 2-cycle self-mixing oil for air-cooled
engines. Do not use motor vehicle oil or 2-cycle
outboard oil.
Mix 2% oil into the petrol. This is a 50:1 ratio.
Mix the fuel thoroughly and also each time before
refuelling.
Mix in small quantities. Do not mix quantities larger
than usable in a 30 day period. A 2-cycle oil
containing a fuel stabiliser is recommended.

OPERATING THE TRIMMER (Fig. 5)
Hold the trimmer with the right hand on the rear handle and
the left hand on the front handle. Keep a firm grip with both
hands while in operation. Trimmer should be held at a
comfortable position with the rear handle about hip height.
Always operate trimmer at full throttle. Cut tall grass from
the top down. This will prevent grass from wrapping
round the shaft housing and string head (10), which may
cause damage from overheating. If grass becomes
wrapped round the string head, stop the engine,
disconnect the sparking plug wire, and remove the grass.
Prolonged cutting at partial throttle will result in oil
dripping from the muffler.
