Frequently Asked Questions - POWEG8012 PowerPlus

What fuel should I use for the PowerPlus POWEG8012?
Use a mixture of unleaded petrol and 2-stroke engine oil at a ratio of 40:1. Never use pure petrol.
How to start the engine when cold?
Set the switch to ON, press the primer bulb 7 to 10 times, close the choke, then pull the starter cord until the engine starts. Let it warm up, then open the choke.
How to start the engine when hot?
For a hot engine, do not use the choke. Proceed as for a cold start but with the choke in the half-open position.
How to stop the engine?
Release the throttle lever, then press the OFF part of the on/off switch.
How to adjust the harness?
Adjust the length of the harness so that the cutting blade is parallel to the ground in the working position. Hook the hanging part to avoid any danger.
How to replace the cutting line?
If the line does not deploy, turn off the tool, insert a new spool or pull the ends. To deploy automatically, tap the ground with the head while operating.
Can I use a metal blade with this tool?
Yes, a metal cutting blade is supplied. Make sure it is properly installed and in good condition. Avoid hard obstacles (stones, metal) to prevent kickback.
What maintenance for the air filter?
Clean the filter regularly with warm soapy water and dry it. Replace it if it is too dirty or damaged. Never use the tool without the filter.
What to do if the engine does not start?
Check for fuel in the tank, the spark of the spark plug (gap 0.635 mm), and that the choke is correctly positioned. If the engine is flooded, remove the spark plug and pull the starter to expel excess fuel.
How to store the tool for a long period?
Empty the fuel tank, run the engine until it stops to empty the carburettor. Remove the spark plug, pour a little 2-stroke oil into the combustion chamber, reinstall the spark plug and store in a cool and dry place.

- At the same time, no claim can be made on the warranty if the damage of the device is the result of negligent maintenance or overload.

- Definitely excluded from the warranty is damage resulting from fluid permeation, excessive dust penetration, intentional damage (on purpose or by gross carelessness), inappropriate usage (use for purposes for which the device is not suitable), incompetent usage (e.g. not following the instructions given in the manual), inexpert assembly, lightning strike, erroneous net voltage. This list is not exhaustive.

- Acceptance of claims under warranty can never lead to the prolongation of the warranty period nor commencement of a new warranty period in case of a device replacement.

- Devices or parts which are replaced under the warranty therefore remain the property of Varo NV.

- We reserve the right to reject a claim whenever the purchase cannot be verified or when it is clear that the product has not been properly maintained. (Clean ventilation slots, carbon brushes serviced regularly, etc.).

- Your purchase receipt must be kept as proof of date of purchase.

- Your appliance must be returned undismantled to your dealer in an acceptably clean state, (in its original blow-moulded case if applicable to the unit), accompanied by proof of purchase.

18 ENVIRONMENT

Should your appliance need replacement after extended use, do not discard it with the household rubbish but dispose of it in an environmentally safe way.

Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with the environment. We suggest you take it in a sealed container to your local service station for reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash or pour it on the ground.
