Before Starting the Engine
Place your machine on the ground in a flat, clear area and hold it firmly to ensure that neither the
cutting head or throttle come into contact with any obstacles when the engine starts.
After Starting the Engine
Ensure 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 your machine to
your authorised MITOX® dealer for adjustment.
Avoid Noise Problems
Check and follow the local regulations for sound levels and hours of operation for garden
machinery. In general, operate garden machinery between 8am and 5pm weekdays and 9am
and 5pm weekends. Avoid using garden machinery early in the morning and/or late at night.
Safety During Operation
When using this product grip the handles firmly with both hands, place your feet slightly apart

Do not use whilst on a ladder. Never attempt to cut overhead or with one hand.
• Maintain full engine speed when cutting.
• Be careful not to hit the cutting head against stones or the ground.
• Never allow other persons to enter the work area, particularly children or pets. Doing so
may expose them to danger and flying debris can cause injuries.
• If material gets caught in or around the cutting head during operation, always stop the
engine before removing it.
• Never touch the spark plug or HT cable while the engine is running, doing so may result in
an electrical shock.
• Never touch the exhaust, spark plug or any metallic parts while the engine is running or

• Always remove fuel from the fuel tank before transportation to reduce the risk of fuel
spillage.
• Never leave this product exposed to direct sunlight, as this can heat the fuel tank and could
cause a discharge of fuel flooding the engine.
Fuel Safety
This product is designed to be run on a 2-stroke oil and unleaded petrol mixture.
This fuel is highly flammable; never store cans of fuel or fill the fuel tank in any place where there
is a source of heat or fire. This could cause the fuel to ignite.
Do not smoke whilst operating or fuelling this product.
Before filling the fuel tank always ensure the engine has been stopped, allowed to cool and there
are no sparks or naked flames nearby.
Shake the fuel container to thoroughly mix the 2-stroke oil and unleaded petrol. Clean dirt from
around the fuel cap before removing it and use a filtered funnel to fill the fuel tank up to 80%
of its capacity. Replace the fuel cap and tighten securely. If any spillage of the 2-stroke mixture
occurs whilst filling the fuel tank, use a dry rag to wipe it away before starting the engine.
After fuelling this product, carry it 5 metres or more away from where it was fuelled, before
starting the engine.
2-Stroke Fuel Mixture
RECOMMENDED MIXING RATIO IS 40:1
FUEL WITH NO 2-STROKE OIL (Raw Petrol) will cause severe damage to the engine, which is not
covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
Use fresh unleaded petrol (95RON) and semi-synthetic 2-stroke oil, which meets the
specifications of API TC, ISO-L-EGC, JASO FC (Low Smoke) oil. Mix a ratio of 40 parts petrol to 1
part of 2-stroke oil.
The correct specification 2-stroke oil will reduce the formation of ash and carbon deposits on
the spark plug, piston, exhaust muffler and cylinder as well as reducing emissions of harmful
exhaust gases.
