Engine Fuel


WARNING: The hedge trimmer is fitted with a
two-stroke engine; use fuel mixed with oil only.
Only fuel the machine in well-lit areas. Avoid fuel
spillage. Never refuel the machine during operation.

WARNING: Do not refill fuel while engine is
running or hot. Let the engine cool down for about
two minutes before refueling. Refueling must not
be carried out near flames, control lamps or spark
producing electrical equipment such as electric
tools, welders or sanders.
Use quality two-stroke oil and make a mixture of 40 parts
petrol to one part oil only (2,5% oil mixed in fuel).
Never use two-stroke oil intended for water-cooled engines.
Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.
A poor oil quality and/or too high oil/fuel ratio may jeopardise
function and decrease the life time of catalytic converter.
Use at least 90 octane fuel. Unleaded petrol recomended as it
leaves less residues inside the motor and on the ignition plug,
and prolongs the life cycle of the exhaust system. Never use old
or dirty petrol or oil/petrol mixtures.
Avoid contamination with dirt or water in the tank.
1. Make sure the machine is turned off, by turn the engine
switch to the "off" position.
2. Check the fuel level visually by removing the fuel cap and
verifying the fuel level.
3. Shake the fuel container well to ensure the correct mixture
before filling the tank.

4. Fill with unleaded fuel mixed with oil from an approved fuel
container into the fuel tank, because of fuel expands, fill
the tank to the neck of tank only.
5. Turn the fuel cap clockwise to close the fuel tank.
Make sure fuel is not leaking from the rear outlet tube.
Occasionally ignition knocking or clanging can be heard with
high loads. This is normal and no cause for alarm. If ignition
knocking or clanging occurs during normal loads and with
constant motor speed you should change the petrol quality. If
this does not solve the problem contact an authorized specialist
dealer.
When working at continuous high revs a higher octane rating
is recommended.

Check the hand guard

The hand guard prevents hands from coming into contact with
the moving blades, for example, if the operator loses grip on the
front handle.

CAUTION: Check that the hand guard is fitted
correctly. Check that the hand guard is undamaged.

Check the Blade

To ensure good cutting results it is important that the
contact pressure between the blades is correct. The contact
pressure is adjusted by turning the screws on the underside
of the bar clockwise.
When the blades are correctly adjusted the play between
the blades should be 0,6 mm, measured at the screws.
Replace the blades if they are bent or damaged.
Check the cutting edges and reform with flat and round file.
1. Keep the end corner sharp. The best cutting angle should
be 45º.
2. Round the root of the edge.
3. Do not use water during grinding.
