7. Operation

■ REFUELING
WARNING
• Refuel the fuel tank in a flat place outdoors. Avoid
smoking or bringing any flame or spark near the
fuel, and stub out any cigarette.
• When refueling the fuel tank while using this
machine, make sure to stop the engine and allow
it to cool before refueling the fuel tank.
• Make sure to tighten the fuel-tank cap firmly.
• Wipe up all fuel spills with a dry cloth before
starting the engine.
IMPORTANT
Fill the fuel tank to roughly 80% of its capacity.
If filled too full, the fuel may leak from the tank cap while
using this machine.
1. Place the brushcutter to be refueled in a flat place
outdoors, and make sure it is stable.
2. Unscrew the fuel-tank cap a little, and allow the
difference of atmospheric pressure between the
inside and outside of the fuel tank to equalize.
3. Remove the fuel-tank cap, and fill fuel little by little up
to roughly 80%.
4. After filling the fuel, close the fuel-tank cap tightly,
and make sure that the fuel does not leak.

■ STARTING THE ENGINE
WARNING
• Before starting the engine after filling with fuel,
move the machine at least 3 m away from where it
was refueled.
Starting the engine where the machine was
refueled might cause a fire.
• Do not start the engine indoors or in any place
which is not well ventilated. Otherwise, you might
suffer carbon monoxide poisoning which could
injure you.

WARNING
• Keep the throttle lever set always to the idling
position when starting or stopping the engine, or
moving the machine. If the throttle lever is set to
any position other than the idling position, the
blade will begin to rotate, causing danger.
• The engine might start after a delay. Hold the unit
until it starts.
WARNING
• Before starting the engine, check the entire unit
for troubles such as looseness in installing the
handle, malfunctioning of the throttle lever,
looseness in installing the blade, and fuel leaks.
• When starting the engine, place the machine on
the ground and hold it securely. Since the blade
might touch the ground or object near the
machine, do not start the engine while holding up
the machine with one hand.
• Do not start the engine with the throttle lever kept
pulled because the blade will immediately begin
to move upon starting the engine. When starting
the engine, place the machine on a flat and firm
place, and keep all objects away from the blade.
• When starting the engine, keep all objects away
from the machine so that the blade does not
touch the ground.
• If the blade continues to rotate even after the
throttle lever is returned to the idling position,
stop the engine and check the idling adjustment
screw of the throttle wire and the carburetor.
• When the engine has started, make sure that the
blade does not move. If the blade continues to
move, stop the engine, and check the idling
adjustment screw of the throttle wire and the
carburetor.
• While using the machine, hold the grips of the
machine with both hands, and keep your eyes on
the blade.
• Do not touch the metal part of the engine body
and the muffler while using the machine or
immediately after stopping using it, otherwise you
might suffer burns.
• Do not touch the spark plug or plug cord while
using the machine, otherwise you might suffer an
electric shock.
IMPORTANT
If you repeat the starting operation with the choke
closed, the electrode of the spark plug may become wet
and the engine might not start. If this happens, open the
choke, set the throttle lever to the almost fully-open
