Use unleaded gasoline with 2-stroke engine oil in a 40:1 ratio. During the first few operations, a mixing ratio of 25:1 can be selected in order to lubricate all device parts optimally initially.Manual_FX-FSR162_Int24_rev2

WARNING: Never use pure gasoline in your device. This will cause permanent engine damage

and voids the manufacturer's warranty for this product. Never use a fuel mixture that has been stored for more than 90 days.

WARNING: It must be a first-class oil for 2-stroke air-cooled devices.

We recommend the FUXTEC two-stroke oil ''MADE IN GERMANY''. FUEL MIXTURE Mix fuel with 2-stroke oil in a particular container. Please note the mixture table on the following page for the correct ratio of gasoline to oil. Shake the tank to ensure complete mixing.

WARNING: Lack of lubrication excludes the liability of the device manufacturer. Gasoline and

oil must be mixed in a 40:1 ratio. Recommended fuel It is recommended to use unleaded gasoline with an octane number of 90 # or higher to reduce carbon deposition in the combustion chamber. Do not use old or dirty gasoline. Keep the fuel tank dust-free and avoid water getting into the tank. Sometimes overload will cause misfiring, which is normal. If the backfiring is heard under average load, we recommend replacing the gasoline. If the misfire is still present afterwards, please contact an authorized workshop.

32. Trimming techniques

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Before running your device, read the notes in chapters 3 and 4 of this manual. CAUTION ALWAYS TRIM AT HIGH ENGINE SPEEDS. Do not let the device run slowly at the beginning or in trim mode. ALWAYS MAKE DISTANCE IN WORKING AREAS from cans, bottles, rocks, etc. Whirling objects can cause serious injury to users or bystanders and damage the device. If an object is accidentally knocked against, immediately turn OFF the DEVICE and check the device. Never run the device with damaged or defective parts. DO NOT use the device for any purpose other than trimming grass. Never lift the nylon cutting head above knee height during operation. Do not run the device on a slope if there is a chance of slipping or losing stability.Manual_FX-FSR162_Int24_rev2

Always remember that the tip of the thread will cut. You will get better results if you do not push into the cutting area. Let the device trim at its own pace Hold the device in such a way that the thread head does not touch the ground and is inclined slightly 20 degrees to the swing direction. You can make your work easier by trimming from right to left

CAUTION: Remove grass deposits regularly to prevent overheating of the drive axle. Grass deposits occur when fibres of the weed become entangled around the shaft under the protective shield. That prevents the shaft from cooling properly. Remove grass deposits with a screwdriver or similar tool only when the device is switched off.

If the device is properly equipped with a protective shield and nylon cutting head, your device will trim unsightly weeds and large diameter tall grass in areas along fences, walls, land and around trees. NOTE: Pay special attention when trimming on brick or stone walls, etc., which will cause rapid weed wear.

TRIMMING MORE ACCURATELY

Swing the trimmer's nylon cutting head horizontally from side to side. Do not tilt the nylon cutting head while working. For correct cutting height, trim in advance in a test area. Keep nylon cutting head at the same level for even depth of cut.

TRIMMING AROUND TREES

Trim around logs with a slow approach; the thread should not collide with the log. Walk around the tree from left to right. Approach grass or weeds with the tip of the thread.Manual_FX-FSR162_Int24_rev2

33. Replacing the nylon thread

1) Switch off the engine

2) Place the trimmer on the ground so that the drive axle with the coil is exposed and remove the

3) Take a 3mm thread and a length of 285mm. Please do not use a longer thread, as this may affect

the cutting performance.

4) Push the thread with force into the hole of the thread spool until it comes out at the other side

5) Let the thread protrude approx. 150-160mm at both ends

6) If the thread is too short, simply pull it out with force and fill the thread head with a longer threadManual_FX-FSR162_Int24_rev2

Regular checks and adjustments must be made to ensure that the gasoline engine maintains its performance. Regular maintenance also ensures a long service life. See the following table for the regular maintenance period.

Connecting elements such as screws and nuts Check (tighten if necessary)

Idle speed Check and adjust

Valve clearance Check and adjust

Combustion chamber Clean up

WARNING a. Increase maintenance intervals if working in dusty environments. b. All maintenance work - with the exception of that listed in the operating manual must be carried out by qualified maintenance personnel

Cleaning the air filter CAUTION: Never run the engine without the air filter.Manual_FX-FSR162_Int24_rev2

A dirty air filter puts pressure on engine performance, increases fuel consumption and makes starting more difficult. If you notice a loss of engine power:

1. Remove the screw on the filter cover and remove the filter.

2. Clean the filter with soap and water. Never use gasoline or benzene!

3. Let the filter dry in the air.

4. Put the filter back in place - fasten the filter cover with the screw.

Spark plug maintenance To ensure an optimal operation of the engine, the ignition distance of 0.6-0.7mm must be maintained and must be free of carbon deposits. Always carry out the following steps with the engine switched off:

1) Carefully remove the spark plug connector. Do not pull at the cable but directly at the connector (turn

slightly left and right to facilitate removal)

2) Use the spark plug wrench supplied to unscrew the spark plug

3) Visually check the spark plug for damage and electrode burn-off,

Remove the carbon deposits

4) Check the gap with a feeler gauge and bend the electrode to the correct distance of 0.6 to 0.7mm

5) Check the spark plug washer and tighten the spark plug with a torque of 9.8-11.8 Nm

6) Mount the ignition cap back on the spark plug

WARNING The spark plug must be screwed down tightly; otherwise, the engine runs hot and is damaged. Sharpen the shielded knife

1) Remove cutting knife (E) from protective shield (F).Manual_FX-FSR162_Int24_rev2

2. Clamp the knife in a vice. Sharpen the knife with a

flat-file. Please make sure that you keep the angle of the cutting edge. Only move the sharpening knife in one direction during the sharpening process. Fuel filter In case the tank runs empty, check the fuel filter for clogging The easiest way to remove the fuel filter, including the hose from the inside of the tank and replace or clean it if necessary is to use an Allen key.

35. Storage of the device

WARNING: Failure to follow these steps may result in carburettor fouling. That makes

later starting difficult and causes permanent damage

1) Perform all general maintenance as described in the maintenance section of

2) Clean the exterior of the device, drive axle, protective shield and nylon cutting head.

3) Drain fuel from the fuel tank.

4) After fuel is drained, start the device.
