A blade with worn teeth besides providing poor performance might also generate a sudden thrust. This can result in a violent sideways kick caused when the blade touches against wood or solid bodies, such thrust might then cause the operator to loose control of the machine itself. Never attempt to work with a damaged blade but replace it with a new one. THRUST: can occur when using any type of circular blade within the risk area: therefore it is advisable to cut using the remaining area of the blade. CIRCULAR SAW BLADE: it can be used to cut sappling, small trees with a diameter up to 7 cm., to clean shrubs.

FUEL MIX Use only fuel recommended by this manual. This product is fitted with a 2-stroke engine and therefore requires a 2-stroke petrol and oil mix. Use unleaded petrol with a minimum octane rating of 90. Only use oil from sealed containers. In order to obtain a good fuel mix, put the oil into the container before the petrol. The use of sub-standard petrol or oil may reduce performance or reduce the life of certain components. UNLEADED PETROL If using unleaded petrol, you must use a totally synthetic 2-stroke engine oil or branded 2-stroke engine oil, see table. IMPORTANT Always shake the fuel mix container thoroughly before pouring any fuel mix. Fuel mix properties may deteriorate with time and should be used up within 2 months. We recommend that you prepare fuel mix according to your immediate requirements only. Never use fuel mix more than 2 months old so as to avoid possible engine damage. WARNING Do not smoke when re-fuelling. Always open the fuel cap slowly, to release any pressure build up in the tank. Re-fuel in open spaces only, keeping away from naked flames or sparks. SAFE STORAGE OF FUEL Petrol fuel mix is highly inflammable. Put out all cigarettes, pipes and cigars before working with fuel. Avoid spilling fuel. Store fuel in a cool, well ventilated place, in an approved container specifically designed for the purpose. Never store engine with fuel in the tank in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas, where fuel fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light such as in a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer etc. Petrol fumes can cause an explosion or a fire. Never store large amounts of fuel. To prevent possible restarting problems avoid running the fuel tank dry. This also helps to extend engine life. E. SAFETY GUARD ASSEMBLY 1) In the interest of safety, it is imperative that the Only use blades or nylon string heads clearly unit is used with the correct guard (P/N 247208) marked with a maximum speed of at least 10,500 when using any blade or a nylon string head, min-1. except the 24-80 tooth blade.
