• Take care not to spill fuel. When refuelling the hedge trimmer ensure
that the motor has been switched off. Prevent the spilling of fuel as this
may also ignite with the hot motor. Never refuel whilst the engine is
running.
• Be careful where you store the hedge trimmer. Store the hedge trimmer
in a dry area away from flammable liquids.
• Keep your distance. The hedge trimmer emits exhaust fumes. Ensure
bystanders keep a safe distance.
• Ensure you add both fuel and 4 stroke oil prior to starting the engine.
80mL of SAE 10W/30 4 stroke oil MUST be added to the oil reservoir, and
450ml of fresh unleaded fuel (Do not use ethanol based fuels) must be
filled in the fuel tank. Failure to add sufficient 4 stroke oil/fresh unleaded
fuel will result in damage to the engine which is NOT covered under the
warranty of the hedge trimmer.

hot.
Do not smoke when filling fuel tank.
