Electrolux Outdoor Products Italy INSTRUCTION MANUAL IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Please read these instructions carefully and make sure you understand them before using this unit. BETRIEBSANWEISUNG WICHTIGE INFORMATION: Lesen Sie diese Hinweise zur Handhabung des Gerts aufmerksam durch. [. . . ] Do not use any other type of fuel than the type recommended in this manual. This machine is equipped with a two-stroke engine and should therefore be fueled with a mixture of unleaded gasoline (with a minimum octane rating = 90) and fully synthetic oil specific for two-speed engines that use unleaded gasoline in the proportions indicated in the table on the cover, fig. Control the specifications of the oil shown on the package; the use of oil lacking the specifications expressly indicated in this manual could cause serious damage to the engine! To obtain the best mixture, pour the oil into an approved container first, followed by the gasoline, and shake the container well (every time you take fuel out of it). The characteristics of the mixture tend to deteriorate in time, so you should only prepare as much mixture as you are going to need (the use of deteriorated fuel can seriously damage the engine). The following precautions should be taken to reduce the fire hazard: Always ensure there is adequate ventilation. Place the machine on a solid flat surface so that it cannot tip over, with the cap on the tank facing upward. Clean the area around the fuel cap before removing it, to prevent any impurities from contaminating the fuel. Unscrew the cap on the fuel tank and fill it with the necessary quality, using a funnel. During use, to prevent problems in starting the engine again, we strongly recommend that you avoid letting the fuel run out in the tank. The muffler gets very hot during use and remains hot for some time after switching off the engine. Take every precaution to reduce the fire hazard, especially in the presence of inflammable materials or gas. Before going near any type of fuel, put out your cigarette, pipe or cigar. Store the fuel in a cool, well-ventilated place, in an approved fuel storage container. Never store the engine with fuel in the tank in a poorly ventilated place where the fumes produced by the gasoline could propagate and reach a fire, candle, burner or furnace pilot light, water heater, dryer, etc. Never store excessive quantities of fuel. ENGLISH - 5 E. Assembly of safety guard Fit the safety guard (A) against the gearbox (I) position the lower clamp (G) in the housing under the shield and the upper clamp (F) over the shaft. Safety guard extension (exclusively for use with nylon string head) The extension (B) should be installed only for use with the nylon string head, with the aid of the string cutter blade (L), that regulates the length of the string and thus the cutting diameter. For correct assembly see the illustration on the cover and perform the following sequence of steps: Insert the extension (B) on the safety guard (A) at the reference notches (C), and fasten with the screws (D), then apply the string cutter blade (L) with the cutting edge facing towards the outside of the shield, and fasten it with the screw (E) (Make sure the screws are tightened all the way (E) and are not loosened by the vibrations. If you are using the grass cutting blade, remove the extension (B) on the guard (A). F. The following are the only cutting devices that can be installed on your machine: a) Nylon string head b) Grass blade with a maximum of 8 teeth. Fasten the cutting tools correctly with all their parts in the order indicated so as to prevent severe injuries to the operators, other people and animals. [. . . ] ABSOLUTELY DO NOT USE THE BRUSH CUTTER IF THE SPECIFIC SAFETY GUARD FOR THE CUTTING DEVICE IN USE IS NOT SECURELY FASTENED (see chapter "Assembly of safety guards"). Failure to follow this rule can expose you to serious danger such as: a) possible contact with rotating and cutting parts b) possible contact with flying debris. Try to limit contact and impact of the cutting devices against the ground and other objects as much as possible. Twigs or grass may jam between the safety guard and the blade or nylon string head.
