Before Operating the Brushcutter
Before beginning work, carefully check the work area and remove any obstacles. Within a
perimeter of 15 metres of the work area should be considered a hazardous area into which no-
one should enter while the Brushcutter is being used, and when necessary this area should be
marked with a warning rope, warning signs, or other forms of warning.
When work is to be performed simultaneously by two or more operators, care should also be
taken to constantly look around to check the presence and locations of other operators within the
work area to maintain a safe distance between each operator.
Before beginning work, each component of the Brushcutter should be checked to make sure
that it is in proper working order, make sure that there are no loose screws or bolts, fuel leaks,
ruptures, dents, broken guards or any other problems which might interfere with safe operation.
Keep all parts of your body away from the cutting head when the engine is running.
Before Starting the Engine
Carefully check the work area to make sure that no obstacles exist within a perimeter of 15
metres around the Brushcutter before starting the engine.
To start the engine, place the Brushcutter onto the ground in a flat clear area and hold it firmly
in place to ensure that neither the cutting head nor the throttle come into contact with any
obstacles when the engine starts.
fter starting the engine, make sure that the cutting head stops moving when the throttle trigger
is released (idle). If the cutting head continues to move when the engine is at idle, adjust the
idle screw on the carburettor to a point where the cutting head stops moving, if this cannot be
achieved, take the Brushcutter to your authorised service dealer for adjustment.

Two-Stroke Fuel
Fuel is very flammable. Do not smoke or bring any flame or sparks near fuel.
lways stop the engine and allow it to cool before refuelling.
Refuel outdoors on bare ground, restart engine at least 5m away from the refuelling stop.
The engine is lubricated by oil mixed into petrol. Prepare a mixture of unleaded petrol and semi-
synthetic two-stroke oil that meets the specifications of: PI TC, ISO-L-EGC, JSO FC (Low Smoke)
oil.
Recommended mixing ratio is 40:1
FUEL WITH NO OIL (RAW PETROL) will cause severe damage to the engine which is not
covered by manufacturer’s warranty.
Use fresh, unleaded petrol (95 RON) and semi-synthetic oil specially made for high performance
two-stroke engines. Mix in a ratio of 40 parts petrol to 1 part of oil.
By using two-stroke oil specially made for two-stroke engines you will reduce the formation of ash
and carbon deposits on the spark plug, piston, exhaust muer and cylinder as well as reducing
emissions of harmful exhaust gases.
Oil FOR 4-CYCLE ENGINES should not be used as two-stroke lubrication oil as it can cause fouling
of the spark plug, exhaust port blocking, piston ring sticking and other internal engine damage.
NOTE
Due to increased Ethanol content in petrol we
recommend the use of B3C Ethanol Shield
2-Stroke Oil, and Ethanol Shield Fuel Stabiliser
to protect your MITOX® engine against the
harmful eectsof Ethanol.

Fuel Storage
Mixed two-stroke fuel which has been left unused for a period of one month or more may
damage the carburettor and result in the engine failing to start or operate correctly.
When storing the Brushcutter for a period of more than one month, empty the fuel tank, and
run the engine to empty the carburettor of fuel.
Two stroke fuel can cause deterioration of rubber and/or plastic components during prolonged
storage.
It is important to only use good quality, fresh fuel mix.
Fuelling
Shake the fuel container to thoroughly mix the two-stroke oil and petrol.
Clean dirt from around the fuel cap before removing.
Pour two-stroke fuel into the fuel tank with a filtered funnel, up to 80% of the fuel tank's capacity.
Replace the fuel cap and tighten securely. Spilled fuel must be wiped away from the Brushcutter
before starting the engine.
Move at least 5m away from the refuelling area before restarting the engine.
When refilling the tank, always turn o the engine and allow it to cool down. Take a careful look
around to make sure that there are no sparks or open flames anywhere nearby before refuelling.
