Do not inhale fuel vapors, and avoid any contact of fuel or oil with your skin. Prolonged skin contact with these products will cause your skin to become extremely dry, which may result in various kinds of skin disease. Fuel and oil mixture The brush cutter engine is a high-efficiency two-stroke engine. If for any reason no such fuel is available, you can use fuel with a higher octane value. This will not affect the engine, but it may cause poor operating behaviour. To obtain optimum engine operation and to protect your health and the environment, use only unleaded fuel!To lubricate the engine, add two-stroke engine oil (quality grade: JASO FC or ISO EGD) to the fuel. The engine has been designed to use the specified twostroke engine oil at mixture ratio of 50:1 to protect the environment. Additionally, long service life accompanied by reliable operation and minimum emissions are guaranteed through the use of this mixture ratio. Reliable functioning of the brush cutter cannot be guaranteed unless this mixture ratio of 50:1 (specified 2-stroke engine oil) is strictly observed. [. . . ] When working under extremely dusty conditions, clean the filter several times a day. € Check the blade or the nylon cutting head for damage and make sure it is firmly mounted. € Check that there is sufficient difference between the idling and operating speeds to ensure the cutting tool is at a standstill while the engine is idling (if necessary, reduce the idling speed). If the cutting tool continues to rotate during engine idling, consult your nearest Authorized Service Agent. [. . . ]
