OPERATION

FUEL AND REFUELLING

HANDLING THE FUEL SAFELY

• Always handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable.
• Always refuel outdoors where there are no sparks and flames. Do not inhale fuel vapour.
• Do not let petrol or oil come in contact with your skin.
• Keep petrol and oil away from the eyes. If petrol or oil comes in contact with the eyes, wash them immediately with clean water. If irritation is still present, see a doctor immediately.
• Clean up spilled fuel immediately.

MIXING THE FUEL

• This product is powered by a 2-cycle engine and requires pre-mixing petrol and 2-cycle oil. Pre-mix unleaded petrol and 2-cycle engine oil in a clean container approved for petrol.
• This engine is certified to operate on unleaded petrol intended for motor vehicle use with an octane rating of 87 ([R + M] / 2) or higher.
• Do not use any type of pre-mixed petrol/oil from fuel service stations. This includes the pre-mixed petrol/oil intended for use in mopeds, motorcycles etc.
• Use a high quality 2-cycle self-mixing oil for air-cooled engines. Do not use motor vehicle oil or 2-cycle outboard oil.
• Mix 2% oil into the petrol. This is a 50:1 ratio.
• Mix the fuel thoroughly and also each time before refueling.
• Mix in small quantities. Do not mix quantities larger than usable in a 30 day period. A 2-cycle oil containing a fuel stabiliser is recommended.

FILLING THE TANK

1. Clean surface round fuel cap to prevent contamination.
2. Loosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to keep fuel from escaping round the cap.
3. Carefully pour fuel mixture into the tank. Avoid spillage.
4. Before replacing the fuel cap, clean and inspect the gasket.
5. Immediately replace fuel cap and hand tighten. Wipe up any fuel spillage. Move 9 m (30 ft) 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 turn off engine before refueling. Never add fuel to a machine with a running or hot engine. Move at least 9 m (30 ft) from refueling site before starting engine. Do not smoke!

OPERATING THE TRIMMER

Hold the trimmer with the right hand on the rear handle and the left hand on the front handle. Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation. Trimmer should be held at a comfortable position with the rear handle about hip height.
See Figure 5.

Always operate trimmer at full throttle. Cut tall grass from the top down. This will prevent grass from wrapping round the drive shaft housing and string head, which may cause damage from overheating. If grass becomes wrapped round the string head, stop the engine, disconnect the sparking plug wire, and remove the grass. Prolonged cutting at partial throttle will result in oil dripping from the silencer.

ADVANCING THE STRING

ADVANCING STRING USING THE EZ LINE™ TAP ADVANCE SYSTEM
String advance is controlled by tapping string head on grass while running engine at full throttle.

1. Run engine at full throttle.
2. Tap string head on ground to advance string. String advances each time the head is tapped.
3. Several taps may be required until string strikes the cut-off blade.
4. Resume trimming.

NOTE: If the string is worn too short you may not be able to advance the string by tapping it on the ground. If so, STOP THE ENGINE and manually advance the string.

ADVANCING THE STRING MANUALLY
Push the spool retainer down while pulling on string(s) to manually advance the string.

CUTTING TIPS

See Figure 6.

• Keep the trimmer tilted towards the area being cut; this is the best cutting area.
• Do not cut in dangerous cutting area.
• Use the tip of string to do the cutting; do not force string head into uncut grass.
• Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even breakage. Stone and brick walls, kerbs and wood may wear string rapidly.
• Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood mouldings, cladding and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.

GRASS DEFLECTOR LINE TRIMMING CUT-OFF BLADE

See Figure 7.

This trimmer is equipped with a line trimming cut-off blade on the grass deflector. For best cutting, advance string until it is trimmed to length by the cut-off blade. Advance string whenever you hear the engine running faster than normal. This will maintain best performance and keep string long enough to advance properly.
