Mixing
Ratio of mixture: 40:1
Petrol Two-stroke engine oil 2,5% (40:1)
1 litres 0.025 litres
2 litres 0.05 litres
5 litres 0.125 litres
10 litres 0.25 litres
• Measure the oil quantity accurately as a small de-
viation of it has a large effect on the ratio of mixture
in particular for small fuel quantities.
• Do not change the ratio of mixture. This will lead
to more residues of combustion, a higher fuel con-
sumption, a decrease of output or damages to the
engine.
Mix petrol and oil in a clean container approved for
petrol and appropriately identified. Use a fuel con-
tainer with overfill protection.
1. At first fill in half the quantity of petrol to be mixed.
2. Then fill in the total amount of oil.
3. Shake the fuel mixture.
4. Fill in the remaining quantity of petrol.
Fuels have only a limited shelf-life, they are subject to
ageing. Outdated fuels and fuel mixtures may result
in starting problems. Therefore, mix only that quan-
tity of fuel which you can use within a month. Only
store fuels in containers approved and identified for
this. Keep fuel containers in a dry and safe area.
Make sure that fuel containers are kept out of the
reach for children.
Caution! Prior to starting the machine learn how to
put it out of action in emergency cases.
Fuelling the hedge trimmer
• Stop the engine and allow it to cool down.
• Wear protective gloves.
• Avoid eye and skin contact.
• Strictly follow the instructions under "Safe handling
with fuels".
1. Only fuel the hedge trimmer in the open or in suf-
ficiently ventilated rooms.
2. Clean the area around the filler neck. Contamina-
tion in the tank may result in malfunction.
3. Shake the container once more before pouring
the fuel mixture into the tank.
4. Carefully open the tank cap (10) to allow possible
overpressure to relax.
