Filling the Tank
WARNING: Follow safety instruction for fuel
handling. Always shut off engine before fuelling.
Never add fuel to a machine with a running or hot
engine. Move at least 10 feet (3 m) from refuelling
site before starting engine (Fig. 28). DO NOT
SMOKE!
1. Clean surface around fuel cap to prevent contamination.
2. Loosen fuel cap slowly.
3. Carefully pour fuel mixture into the tank. Avoid spillage.
4. Prior to replacing the fuel cap, clean and inspect the gasket.
5. Immediately replace fuel cap and hand tighten. Wipe up any
fuel spillage.
WARNING: Check for fuel leaks, if any are found,
correct before use. Contact a Servicing Dealer if
necessary.
Preparation for Cutting
WARNING: When using rigid blades, avoid cutting
close to fences, sides of buildings, tree trunks,
stones or other such objects that could cause the
29
brush cutter to kick out or could cause damage to
the blade. We recommends use of the nylon line
heads for such jobs. In addition, be alert to an increa-
sed possibility of ricochets in such situations.
WARNING: The brush cutter is normally to be used at
ground level with the cutting attachment parallel to
the ground. Use of a brush cutter above ground level
or with the cutting attachment perpendicular to the
ground may increase the risk of injury, since the
cutting attachment is more fully exposed and the
brush cutter may be more difficult to control. Never
use your brush cutter as a hedge trimmer.
