Handling petroleum products
Utmost care is required when handling fuel. Fuel may contain substances similar
to solvents. Refuel either in a well ventilated area 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, various skin diseases
may result. In addition, allergic reactions are known to occur. Eyes can be
irritated by contact with oil, fuel etc.
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 brush cutter is a high-efficiency two-stroke engine.
It is run with a mixture of fuel and two-stroke engine oil. The engine is designed
to use unleaded regular fuel with a min. Octane value of 91 RON. If 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 behavior.
A similar situation will arise from the use of leaded fuel. To obtain optimum
engine performance and to protect your health and the environment, only
unleaded fuel should be used!
For engine lubrication use a two-stroke engine oil (quality grade: TC-3), which is
added to the fuel. The engine has been designed to use MAKITA two-stroke
engine oil at mixture ratio of 25:1 to protect the environment. In addition, a long
service life and reliable operation with a minimum emission of exhaust gasses is
assured. It is absolutely essential to observe a mixture ratio of 25:1 MAKITA 2stroke engine oil. Otherwise reliable function of the brush cutter cannot be
guaranteed.
The correct mixture ratio:
Mix 25 parts gasoline with 1 part MAKITA 2-stroke engine oil (see table on right).
NOTE: For preparing the fuel-oil mixture first mix the entire oil quantity
with half of the fuel required in an approved can which meets or
exceeds all local code standards, then add the remaining fuel.
Throughly shake the mixture before filling it into the brush cutter
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, the spark plugs as well as the
muffler. In addition, fuel consumption will rise and the performance
will be decreased.
Refuelling
Never perform refuelling operations in a closed, unventilated area.
The engine must be switched off!
– Thoroughly clean the area around the gas cap, to prevent dirt from getting into
the fuel tank.
– Unscrew the gas cap and fill the tank with fuel.
– Never fill the fuel tank to the very top.
– Securely screw on the gas cap.
– Wipe the screw plug and tank with an absorbent after refuelling!
Allow cloths to dry and discard in a proper container.
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.

– Press the lock button (4) and release the control lever, and then release the
lock button (the lock button holds the throttle lever in the start-up position).
– First place the machine on the ground.
– Open the fuel valve. The valve opens when the lever (5) is at right angles to
the ground (6). The valve closes when the lever is parallel with the ground (7).
– Move the choke lever (8) to the top position ( ).
– Firmly hold the clutch case by your left hand, as illustrated.
– Slowly pull the starter grip until resistance is felt and continue with a smart pull.
– Do not pull out the starter rope to its full extent and do not allow the starter
handle to be retracted without control, but ensure that it is retracted slowly.
– Repeat the starting operation until initial ignitions are heard.
– Depress the choke lever () and pull the starter rope again until the engine
starts.
– As soon as the engine starts, immediately tap and release the throttle, thus
releasing the half-throttle lock so that the engine can run in idle.
– Run the engine for approximately one minute at a moderate speed before
applying full throttle.
Caution during operation:
If the throttle lever is opened fully in a no-load operation, the engine rotation is increased to 10,000 /min or more. Never operate the engine at a
higher speed than required and at an approximate speed of 6,000 - 8,000 /min.
Starting the warm engine
– As described above, except without moving the choke lever (choke lever remains in the down position).
Stopping
– Release the control lever (3) fully, and when the engine speed has lowered,
push the I-O switch (1) to “O” position the engine will now stop.
14
IDLE ADJUSTMENT
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 blade or the nylon
cutting head must not turn when the engine is at idle).
Screwing in the screw (1) will cause an increase in the engine speed, whereas
backing off the screw will reduce the engine speed.
Resharpening the cutting tool
CAUTION: The cutting tools mentioned below must only be resharpened by an
authorized facility. Manual resharpening will result in imbalances of
the cutting tool causing vibrations and damage to the equipment.
An expert resharpening and balancing service is provided by Authorized Service
Agents.
NOTE: To increase the service life of the cutter blade (star blade, eddy blade,
saw blade) it may be turned over once, until both cutting edges have
become blunt.

carro para evitar vazamento de combustível.
– Quando despachar o cortador de mato, certifique-se de que o tanque de
combustível está completamente vazio.
– Quando descarregar o cortador de mato do caminhão, nunca deixe o motor
cair no chão ou isto pode danificar seriamente o tanque de combustível.
– Exceto no caso de uma emergência, nunca deixe cair ou jogue o cortador de
mato no chão ou isto pode danificar seriamente o cortador de mato.
– Lembre-se de levantar todo o equipamento do chão ao carregá-lo. Arrastar o
tanque de combustível é altamente perigoso e poderá causar danos e
vazamento de combustível, possivelmente causando incêndio.

– Desligue o motor durante o reabastecimento, mantendo o equipamento longe
de chamas e não fume.
– Evite o contato da pele com produtos de óleo mineral. Não inale vapor de
combustível. Vista sempre luvas protetoras durante o reabastecimento. Mude
e limpe roupas protetoras em intervalos regulares.
– Cuidado para não derramar combustível ou óleo para evitar contaminação do
solo (proteção ambiental). Limpe o cortador de mato imediatamente depois de
derramar combustível. Evite qualquer contato do combustível com sua roupa.
Mude de roupa imediatamente se derramar combustível n ela (para evitar que
a roupa pegue fogo).
– Inspecione a tampa do combustível em intervalos regulares, certificando-se
de que foi apertada com segurança.
– Aperte cuidadosamente e não deixe vazar na tampa do tanque de
combustível. Mude de local para dar partida ao motor (pelo menos 3 metros
ou 10 pés de distância do local de reabastecimento).
– Nunca reabasteça em ambientes fechados. Os vapores de combustível se
acumulam ao nível do chão (risco de explosão).
– Somente transporte e armazene combustível em recipientes aprovados.
Certifique-se de que o combustível armazenado não é acessível por crianças.
Método de operação
– Utilize somente o cortador de mato em boas condições de luminosidade e
visibilidade. Durante a estação de inverto, cuidado com áreas escorregadias
ou molhadas, gelo e neve (risco de escorregão). Assegure sempre um
posicionamento firme dos pés.
– Nunca faça cortes acima da altura dos seus ombros.
– Nunca suba em uma escada e coloque o cortador de mato em
funcionamento.
– Nunca suba em árvores para executar a operação de corte com o cortador de
mato.
– Nunca trabalhe em superfícies instáveis.
– Remova areia, pedras, pregos, etc. encontrados na área se trabalho.
Partículas estranhas podem danificar a ferramenta de corte e causar rebotes
perigosos.
– Antes de começar o corte, a ferramenta de corte deve chegar à velocidade de
trabalho máxima.
Rebote
– Quando operar o cortador de mato, pode ocorrer rebote.
– Este é particularmente o caso quando a tentativa de cortar dentro de um
segmento do disco entre 12 e 2 horas.
– Nunca aplique o cortador de mato dentro de um segmento entre 12 e 2 horas.
– Nunca aplique este segmento do disco do cortador de mato a sólidos, tais
como galhos e árvores, etc., tendo um diâmetro maior de 3 cm ou o cortador
de mato será desviado com grande força causando o risco de ferimentos.
Prevenção de rebote
Para evitar rebotes, observe o seguinte:
– A operação dentro de um segmento do disco entre 12 e 2 horas apresenta
perigos reais, especialmente quando utilizar ferramentas de corte de metal.
– As operações de corte dentro de um segmento do disco entre 11 e 2 horas e
entre 2 e 5 horas devem ser realizadas somente por operadores treinados e
experientes e somente aos seus próprios riscos.
O corte com quase nenhum rebote é possível dentro de um segmento de
lâmina entre 8 e 11 horas.
