OPERATION
FILLING THE TANK
Clean surface around fuel cap to prevent
■
contamination.
Loosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to
■
keep fuel from escaping around the cap.
Carefully pour fuel mixture into the tank. Avoid spillage.
■
Prior to replacing the fuel cap, clean and inspect
■
the gasket.
Immediately replace fuel cap and hand tighten.
■
Wipe upany fuel spillage. Move 9 m away from
refueling site before starting engine.
Note: It is normal for smoke to be emitted from a new
engine during and after first use.
WARNING
Always shut off engine before fueling. Never add
fuel to a machine with a running or hot engine.
Move at least 9 m from refueling site before
starting engine. Do not smoke!

WARNING
Never start or run the engine inside a closed or
poorly ventilated area; breathing exhaust fumes
can kill.
NOTE: Be sure to return the stop switch to the "I" (RUN)
position before trying to start unit.
OPERATING THE TRIMMER (Fig. 5)
Hold the trimmer with the right hand on the trigger handle
and the left hand on the left handle.
Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation. Trimmer
should be held at a comfortable position with the trigger
handle about hip height.
Always operate trimmer at full throttle. Cut tall grass
from the top down. This will prevent grass from wrapping
around the shaft housing and string head which may
cause damage from overheating. If grass becomes
wrapped around the string head, stop the engine,

disconnect the spark plug wire, and remove the grass.
Prolonged cutting at partial throttle will result in lubricant
dripping from the silencer.

OPERATING THE BRUSHCUTTER (Fig. 5)
Hold the brushcutter with the right hand on the trigger
handle and the left hand on the left handle.
Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation.
Brushcutter should be held at a comfortable position with
the trigger handle about hip height. Maintain your grip and
balance on both feet. Position yourself so that you will
not be drawn off balance by the kick-back reaction of the
cutting blade.
Adjust the shoulder strap to position the brushcutter at
a comfortable operating position and to assure that the
shoulder strap will reduce the risk of operator contact
with the blade.
Exercise extreme caution when using the blade with this
unit. Blade thrust is the reaction which may occur when
the spinning blade contacts anything it cannot cut. This
contact may cause the blade to stop for an instant, and
suddenly "thrust" the unit away from the object that was hit.
This reaction can be violent enough to cause the
=
}
operator to lose control of the unit. Blade thrust may
=
occur without warning if the blade snags, stalls or binds.
=
50:1 (2%)
This is more likely to occur in areas where it is difficult to
=
see the material being cut. For cutting ease and safety,
approach the weeds being cut from the right to the left.
In the event that an unexpected object or woody stock is
encountered, this could minimise the blade thrust reaction.

WARNING
Extreme care must be taken when using blades
to ensure safe operation. Read the safety
information for safe operation using the blade,
refer to "Specific Safety Rules for Brushcutter
and Blade Use" earlier in this manual.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Use only original manufacturer's replacement
parts, accessories and attachments. Failure to
do so can cause possible injury, poor perfor-
