FUELS/REFUELLING
Handling fuel
Utmost care is required when handling fuel. Fuel may contain substances
similar to solvents. Refuel either in a well ventilated room or outdoors. Do not
inhale fuel vapors, avoid any contact of fuel or oil with your skin.
Mineral oil products degrease your skin. If your skin comes in contact with
these substances repeatedly and for an extended period of time, it will desiccate.
Various skin diseases may result. In addition, allergic reactions may occur.
Eyes can be irritated by contact with oil. If oil comes into your eyes,
immediately wash them with clear water. If your eyes are still irritated, see a
doctor immediately.
Fuel and oil mixture
The engine of the Edging trimmer is a high-efficiency two-stroke engine. It is run
with a mixture of fuel and two-stroke engine oil. The engine is designed for
unleaded regular fuel with a min. octane value of 91 RON. In case no such fuel
is available, you can use fuel with a higher octane value. This will not affect the
engine, but may cause poor operating behaviour.
A similar situation will arise from the use of leaded fuel. To obtain optimum
engine operation and to protect your health and the environment, only unleaded
fuel should be used!
Observe the Safety Instructions on page 4.
For lubricating the engine use a two-stroke engine oil (quality grade: TC-3),
which is added to the fuel. The engine has been designed to use specified
two-stroke engine oil at mixture ratio of 50:1 to protect the environment. In
addition, a long service life and a reliable operation with a minimum emission of
exhaust gases is guaranteed. It is absolutely essential to observe a mixture
ratio of 50:1 (specified 2-stroke engine oil), as otherwise reliable function of the
Edging trimmer cannot be guaranteed.
The correct mixture ratio:
Gasoline : Specified two-stroke engine oil = 50 : 1 or
Gasoline : Other manufacturer’s two-stroke engine oil = 25 : 1
recommended
Note: For preparing the fuel-oil mixture first mix the entire oil quantity with half
of the fuel required, then add the remaining fuel. Thoroughly shake the
mixture before filling it into the Edging trimmer tank. It is not wise to add
more engine oil than specified to ensure safe operation.
This will only result in a higher production of combustion residues which
will pollute the environment and clog the exhaust channel in the cylinder
as well as the muffler. In addition, the fuel consumption will rise and the
performance will decrease.
Refuelling
The engine must be switched off.
– Thoroughly clean the area around the fuel filler cap (2), to prevent dirt from
getting into the fuel tank (1).
– Unscrew the fuel filler cap (2) and fill the tank with fuel.
– Tightly screw on the fuel filler cap (2).
– Clean screw fuel filler cap (2) and tank after refueling.

Storage of Fuel
Fuel cannot be stored for an unlimited period of time.
Purchase only the quantity required for a 4 week operating period. Only use
approved fuel storage containers.

CORRECT HANDLING OF MACHINE
Attachment of shoulder strap
– Adjust the strap length so that the wheel will be kept on the ground.
Detachment
– In an emergency, push the notches (1) at both sides, and you can detach
the machine from you.
Be extremely careful to maintain control of the machine at this time. Do not
allow the machine to be deflected toward you or anyone in the work
vicinity.
WARNING: Failure to maintain complete control of the machine at all could
result in serious bodily injury or DEATH.
– Before edging, water the area to soften the ground and make edging easier.
– Before edging, check the area and remove all obstacles and objects that
could be thrown..
– Plan to edge regularly to make it easier to keep a neat edge and to avoid
having to make more than one pass.
Note:
Blade depth may have to be adjusted due to differences in height between the
hard surface and the top of the grass.
– Adjust the blades’ depth of cut to produce a fine cut between sidewalk and
grass using a minimum blade depth, usually with about 1/2” of the blade into
the ground.
Note:
– The blades’ depth of cut is adjusted by moving the blade guard.
– Adjust blades’ depth of cut by loosening the grip bolt, moving the guard
toward the operator to reduce depth or away from the operator to increase
depth, and then retightening the bolt.
– When starting to edge, run the engine at full throttle, and lower the blade
gently into the ground, being careful not to hit the concrete with the blade.
– Do not force the blade rotate more than the normal rotation.

– When the engine start, return the choke lever to “ ”. Please note that the
choke lever will return to “ ”position automatically when the throttle lever is
operated and the throttle is opened.
– Run the engine for approximately one minute at a moderate speed before applying full throttle.
Note: – If the starter handle is pulled repeatedly when the choke lever remains at “ ” position, the engine will not start easily due to
excessive fuel intake.
– In case of excessive fuel intake, remove the spark plug and pull the starter handle slowly to remove excess fuel. Also,dry the
electrode section of the spark plug.

/min.
STOPPING
– Release the throttle lever (6) fully, and when the engine rpm has lowered,
push the I-O switch (1) to “O”㩷position the engine will now stop.
– Be aware that the cutting head may not stop immediately and allow it to slow
down fully.
ADJUSTMENT OF LOW-SPEED ROTATION (IDLING)
The cutter blade or the nylon cutting head should not run when the control lever is fully released. If necessary, adjust the idle rpm using the idle
adjusting screw.
Checking the Idling speed
– Idle speed should be set to 2,600 /min.
If necessary correct it by means of the idle screw (the cutting blade must
not turn when the engine is on idle).
Screwing in the screw (1) will cause an increase in the engine speed,
whereas backing off the screw will reduce the engine speed.
