EXHAUST GASES OF THIS PRODUCT CONTAIN

Do not allow others to use this device unless they have been fully instructed, have read and understood the device manual, and have been trained in the operation of the device. Prolonged use of the device exposes the user to shocks that can lead to white finger disease (Raynaud's syndrome) or carpal tunnel syndrome. This condition reduces the hand's ability to sense and regulate temperature, causes numbness and heat sensations, and can lead to nerve and circulatory damage and tissue death. Not all factors leading to white finger disease are known. Still, cold weather, smoking, and other conditions affecting the blood vessels and blood circulation, as well as extensive or prolonged exposure to shocks, are mentioned as factors in the development of white finger disease. To reduce the risk of white finger disease and carpal tunnel syndrome, please note the followingOriginal Bedienungsanleitung FUXTEC FX-MT152/-MT152E/-MT252_de_en_fr_ita_es_rev20

● Wear gloves and keep your hands warm. ● Take regular breaks. All the above precautions cannot eliminate the risk of white finger disease or carpal tunnel syndrome. Long-term and regular users are, therefore, advised to closely monitor the condition of their hands and fingers. Consult a doctor immediately if any of the above symptoms occur. The operating noise of the tool may damage your hearing. Wear a sound-proofing (Oropax or ear muffs) to protect it. Long-term and regular users are recommended to check your hearing regularly. Be especially vigilant and careful when wearing hearing protection as it limits your ability to hear warnings (cries, alarms, etc.).

WARNING: Some noise exposure from this device is unavoidable. Do not work in

noisy environments during approved and designated times. If necessary, observe rest periods and limit the duration of work to the minimum required. For your personal protection and the protection of persons in the vicinity, wear suitable hearing protection.Original Bedienungsanleitung FUXTEC FX-MT152/-MT152E/-MT252_de_en_fr_ita_es_rev20

Notes on accessories ● Make sure that your product is only equipped with original accessories. Only use original parts that are specified by the manufacturer. The use of any other attachments or accessories may cause injury to the user and damage to the device. ● Clean the device thoroughly, especially the fuel tank and air filter. After using the device, remove all fuel. ● If you approach a user of the device as a spectator, carefully attract his attention and confirm that the user will stop the device. Please do not startle or distract the user. Otherwise, you could cause an unsafe situation. ● Never touch the nylon cutting head or metal blade when the device is running. If it is necessary to replace the guard or cutting tool, be sure that the device and cutting tools have stopped. ● The device must be OFF before you change the working range. ● When starting or operating the device, never touch hot parts such as the exhaust, ignition cables, or spark plug. ● After the device has stopped, the exhaust pipe is still hot. Never place the device near inflammable materials (dry grass, flammable gases or liquids, etc.). ● Pay particular attention to the fact that the ground may be slippery when operating the device in the rain or immediately after the rain. ● If you slip or fall to the ground, release the throttle immediately. ● Be careful not to drop the device or hit it against obstacles. ● Before adjusting or repairing the device, make sure that the device is stopped, and the spark plug connector is removed. ● Before removing blockages, stop the device and remove the spark plug connector. ● If the device is to be stored for an extended period, drain the fuel from the fuel tank and carburetor, clean the parts, place the device in a safe place and ensure that the device has cooled down completely. ● Perform constant checks to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the device. ● Keep the device away from fire or sparks. ● Be careful when using the device. There is a risk of kickback and recoil. ● Use extreme caution when using this device with the cutting blade. A cutting blade kickback is a reaction that can occur when the rotating cutting blade hits an object that cannot be cut. This contact causes the cutting blade to stop for a moment and then suddenly repels from the hit object with accelerated force. This kick-back reaction can be severe enough that the operator loses control of the device. A cutter blade kickback can occur without warning if the cutter blade encounters an obstacle, becomes blocked or jams. This is more likely in areas where it is difficult to see the material being cut. For easy and safe cutting, approach the weeds to be cut from your right to your left side. If an object or stick of wood is hit unexpectedly, this can reduce a cutterOriginal Bedienungsanleitung FUXTEC FX-MT152/-MT152E/-MT252_de_en_fr_ita_es_rev20

Installation of the protective shield Install the protective shield on the driveshaft tube against the gearbox housing. Tighten the holder of the guard so that the blade guard does not move or slide down during operation. Mounting the metal blade (motor scythe) Steps:

1. Place the key (1) in the hole on the gearhead.

2. Remove the nut, the cover (4) and the

upper spacer disc (3) from the gear shaft

3. Place the metal sheet on the lower

Distance washer (2). Make sure that the marked side of the cutting blade is in contact with the disc (2).

4. Slide the upper spacer disc (3) over the

Gear shaft onto the metal sheet. Pay attention to this, the upper side of the cutting blade makes contact with the spacer disc (3).

5. Place the cover (4) in place and screw the

Union nut tight with locked gear head (see point 1)

Mounting the grass trimmer Step one: Insert the key (1) into the hole in the gearhead so that the gear shaft is locked. Unscrew and remove the nut. As this is a safety nut, please make sure that there is a left-hand thread Step two: mount the cover (2), install the yarn package on the gear shaft. And then tighten it by hand. Warning! Ensure that all components are correctly assembled and installed and that all screws are tightened.

Using the hedge trimmer attachment Transport of the hedge trimmer Warning! Never carry or transport your device with the blades running to avoid the risk of injury. Always carry it in a horizontal position only. Grip the bar so that the device is horizontally balanced. Keep the hot muffler away from your body and the cutting attachment behind you. Always switch off the engine and place the blade guard over the blades before transporting the tool over long distances. When transporting the tool in a vehicle, secure it appropriately to prevent it from tipping over, leaking fuel, and damaging the device. For devices with adjustable bar: Make sure it is in a secure position. Warning! Never operate your tool with only one hand. The resulting loss of control can lead to severe or fatal injuries. Keep hands and feet away from the cutting tool to avoid the risk of injury. Never touch a running cutting tool with any part of your body. Warning! Do not bend forward too far. Always maintain your balance and a secure footing. Special care is required when there is a danger of slipping (wet ground, snow) and challenging, overgrown terrain. Watch out for hidden obstacles such as tree stumps, roots, and puddles to avoid tripping. Remove fallen branches, undergrowth, and cuttings. Be extremely careful when working on sloping or uneven ground. Never work on a ladder, tree branch, or another unsafe surface. Never lift the tool above shoulder height. Warning! The tool blades continue to run for a short time after the throttle lever is released (flywheel effect). The acceleration of the engine while the blades are blocked causes the clutch to slip further. This can lead to overheating and damage to essential components (including clutch, polymer housing component). This, in turn, can lead to a risk of injury due to running blades despite idling adjustment. For devices with adjustable bar: Carefully place the bar in the desired working position. Do not touch the blades to avoid injury. Only make adjustments when the blades areOriginal Bedienungsanleitung FUXTEC FX-MT152/-MT152E/-MT252_de_en_fr_ita_es_rev20

7. Drive axle tube (tree)

Surrounds and protects the drive axle between the coupling sleeve and the gearbox. General Besides the intended use for cutting hedges at height, the hedge trimmer can also be used on the ground. Because its blades work like a mower, it is ideal for cutting undergrowth, thicket, reeds, wild growth, and more durable grass. The hedge trimmer is particularly suitable for busy places such as traffic islands or parks, as the cuttings are not thrown around by the blades. Preparation Always wear the carrying strap. Do not throw the clippings in the waste bin. It can be composted. Cutting techniqueOriginal Bedienungsanleitung FUXTEC FX-MT152/-MT152E/-MT252_de_en_fr_ita_es_rev20

The working posture and method are exactly the same as for the motor scythe. The cutting bar is moved back and forth, just above the ground. Adjusting the cutting angle of the hedge trimmer attachment

Adjust the cutting angle: Release the lock (1), simultaneously pull the two release levers (2) and turn the blade position to the desired angle via the adjusting lever (3). Make sure that the lock (1) is always engaged. Maintenance of the attachment: Top up 20 grams of grease/lubricant every 25 operating hours. Use a grease gun to press the lubricant into the nipples (1).Original Bedienungsanleitung FUXTEC FX-MT152/-MT152E/-MT252_de_en_fr_ita_es_rev20

Using the branch saw attachment Transport of the tool Warning! Always carry it in a horizontal position only. Grip the bar so that the device is horizontally balanced. Keep the hot muffler away from your body and the cutting attachment behind you. Unintentional acceleration of the engine can cause the saw-chain to rotate and cause serious injury. Always switch off the engine and slide the rail guard over the cutting attachment before transporting the tool over long distances. When transporting the tool in a vehicle, secure it appropriately to prevent it from tipping over, leaking fuel, and damaging the device. Main components and control elements 1 = Saw chain 2 = Guide rail 3 = Oil tank 4 = Oil tank cover 5 = Drive axle 6 = Sprocket cover 7 = Chain guard 8 = Sprocket wheel 9 = Chain tensioner Explanation

1. Saw chain: A chain of knives, straps and dynamic links

2. Guide rail: Holds and guides the saw chain

3. Oil tank: Oil tank to lubricate the chain

4. Oil tank cap: Seals the oil tank

5. Drive axle: Connecting element between the engine and gearbox

6. Sprocket cover: Covers the sprocket

7. Chainguard (protective cover): Protects the chain while the device is out of service

and during transport and storage.

8. Sprocket: Gearwheel that moves the saw-chain

Before starting Remove the guard from the chain and inspect the chainsaw for proper operating conditions (see maintenance and sharpening of the saw-chain on page 33). Before starting your engine, always check that it is in good condition, especially the throttle, the throttle lock, the stop button, and the tool attachment. The throttle stick must be free to move and always return to the idle position. Never attempt to modify the control or safety devices. Never use a damaged, poorly adjusted or serviced or incompletely and securely mounted device. Always keep the handles clean and dry. It is especially important to protect them from moisture, soot, oils, grease, or resins to ensure safe handling and control of your device. The correct chain tension is fundamental. The tensioning procedure in this manual on page 28f. must be followed to avoid improper tension. Make sure that the hexagonal bolts for the sprocket cover are then tightened firmly. Recheck the chain tension after tightening the bolts. Never start work with an unattached sprocket cover. Adjust the carrying strap and handle it to your size before beginning work. Place the saw on firm ground or another firm surface outside, or as shown in the picture. Maintain a secure footing and balance. Make sure there is nothing near the guide bar and the saw chain to reduce the risk of injury. Attach the tool to the hooks on your harness when the engine is idling (see relevant section). Important notes The correct chain tension is always significant. Check it regularly (every time the chainsaw is switched off). If the chain becomes loose during cutting, turn off the engine to tighten it. Never do this while the engine is running.Original Bedienungsanleitung FUXTEC FX-MT152/-MT152E/-MT252_de_en_fr_ita_es_rev20

During operation Holding and controlling the tool Always hold the device by the handles with both hands during operation. Close your fingers and thumbs around the handles. Place your left hand on the front handle and your right hand on the rear handle on the throttle. This also applies to left-handed users. Always keep your hands in this position to keep your saw under control. Never try to operate your tool with one hand. Losing control of your device can cause severe or fatal injury. Always keep your balance and a secure footing to maintain control of your chainsaw. Never work on a ladder, tree branch, or another unsafe surface. Never lift the device above shoulder height. Do not bend forward too far. Use a lifting platform to work at the height of more than 4.5 meters. Special care is required when working on slippery surfaces (wet ground, snow) and on steep, overgrown terrain. Watch out for hidden obstacles such as tree stumps, roots, and puddles to avoid tripping. Remove fallen branches, undergrowth, and cuttings. Be extremely careful when working on sloping or uneven ground. Be extremely careful in wet and frosty conditions (rain, snow, ice). Interrupt work in the event of wind, storm, or heavy rain. Operating instructions Warning! Keep hands and feet away from the cutting tool to avoid the risk of injury. Never touch a running cutting tool with any part of your body. The saw-chain continues to run for a short time after you release the throttle stick (inertia). The acceleration of the engine while the blades are blocked causes the clutch to slip. This can lead to overheating and damage to essential components (including clutch, polymer housing component). This, in turn, can lead to a risk of injury due to running blades despite idling adjustment. If the chain is stuck, always switch off the engine before cleaning and make sure that the chain is stationary. Make sure that the saw-chain does not come into contact with foreign objects such asOriginal Bedienungsanleitung FUXTEC FX-MT152/-MT152E/-MT252_de_en_fr_ita_es_rev20

stones, fences, nails, etc. These objects could be thrown away and injure the user or bystanders or damage the saw chain. Before cutting, clear the work area of unwanted branches and undergrowth. Then create a retreat area, away from the place where cut branches may fall, and remove all obstacles there. Keep the work area clear, remove the cut branches immediately. Place all other tools and devices at a safe distance from the branches to be cut, but not in the retraction area. Always observe the condition of the tree. Look for rot and decay in the roots and branches. If they are rotten on the inside, they may unexpectedly break off and fall off during pruning. Also, look for broken and dead branches that could be loosened by the shock and fall down on you. If the branches are very thick or heavy, first make a small incision under the branch before working from top to bottom to prevent breakage. To reduce severe or fatal injuries from falling objects, never cut vertically above your body. Hold the chain saw at an angle of no more than 60° from the horizontal (see illustration). Objects may fall in unexpected directions. Never stand directly under the branch you are cutting. Watch out for falling branches! Immediately step aside and keep a sufficient distance from the falling wood as soon as a cut branch begins to break off. Always pull the device out of the cutting gap while the chain is running to prevent the saw from jamming. Do not exert pressure when you reach the end of a sawing operation. This can cause the guide bar and the running saw chain to jump out of the cutting gap uncontrollably, which in turn can hit other objects. If the guide bar is jammed in a branch so that the chain cannot move any further, switch off the saw and carefully move the branch to open the gap and release the bar.Original Bedienungsanleitung FUXTEC FX-MT152/-MT152E/-MT252_de_en_fr_ita_es_rev20

Mounting the guide bar and saw chain Warning! Adjust the guide bar and chain only when the engine is not running.

1 Loosen the nut and remove the sprocket cover. 2 Turn the tensioning screw (1) clockwise until the tensioning nut (2) stops at the left. The chain is very sharp. Wear work gloves to avoid cutting yourself. 4 Place the chain on the guide bar, starting at the bar/sword tip. 4 Insert the guide bar into the attachment bolt. Insert the pin on the tensioner into the hole (4) and place the chain on the sprocket at the same time. 5 Replace the sprocket cover and tighten the nut by hand. 6 Now turn the tensioning screw (1) clockwise until the chain hangs only minimally on the underside of the rail, and the tang of the chain links is in the running groove of the rail. Tensioning the saw chain Restore tension during the cutting operation:

• Switch off the engine and loosen the nut a little.

• Hold the rail tip upwards.

• Use a screwdriver to tighten the tensioning screw (1) clockwise until the chain is again tight against the bottom of the bar.

• Tighten the nut well again. A new chain must be re-tensioned more often than an older one. Check the chain tension regularly (see section "Operating instructions / During operation")

Checking the chain tension

• Check the chain tension.

• Switch off the engine.

• Wear work gloves to protect your hands.

• The chain must lie close to the bottom of the bar, and at the same time, it must be possible to move the chain along the bar with your hand.

• Retighten the chain if necessary. Lubricating the saw chain For automatic and reliable lubrication of the chain and guide bar, please use only high- quality and environmentally friendly lubricating oil with an adhesive additive. The maintenance requirement depends on lubricating oil quality. It is, therefore, essential to use only designated chain lubricating oil. Top up 20 grams of grease/lubricant every 25 operating hours. If no chain lubricating oil is available, you can use an HD single-grade or multi-grade engine oil with a viscosity appropriate to the outside temperature in an emergency.

Do not use used oil! Medical studies have shown that contact with used oil can lead to skin cancer. Furthermore, waste oil is harmful to the environment! Used oil no longer has the necessary lubricating properties and is unsuitable for lubricating the chain.

• Check the oil level regularly during work. Never let it run out!

• Clean the tank cap and its surroundings so that no dirt falls into the tank.

• Place the device so that the tank cap is facing upwards. If the oil level in the tank does not drop, there may be a problem in the oil supply: Check the lubrication condition of the chain, clean the oil lines, and contact your dealer if necessary. Checking the lubrication of the chain The chain saw must always fling a small amount of oil from itself.

• Always check the lubrication of the chain and the oil level in the tank before starting work. Never use your saw without lubricating oil. If the chain dries out, the entire cutting tool will be permanently damaged in a short time. Each new chain must be run in for 2 to 3 minutes. Then check the chain tension and adjust it if necessary (see section "Checking the chain tension"). Using the branch saw attachment Preparation

• Wear suitable protective clothing and equipment - see "Safety Instructions."

• Put on the shoulder strap Do not throw the cuttings into the household waste, they can be composted! Never stand under the branch you are sawing off. Watch out for falling branches and twigs. Be aware that they could hit you after impact.

Cutting procedure Always cut the lower branches first so that they can fall down freely. Cut thick branches in small, controllable portions. Working posture Hold the wrap-around handle with your left hand and with your right hand the throttle handle. Your left arm should be stretched out in one of the most comfortable positions for you.Original Bedienungsanleitung FUXTEC FX-MT152/-MT152E/-MT252_de_en_fr_ita_es_rev20

The axle should always be held at an angle of no more than 60°! The most comfortable working position is with the tool at a 60° angle. Still, smaller angles are also possible, depending on the situation. Cross-cutting To avoid jamming the guide rail in the cutting gap, place the tool with the hook against the branch, and then perform the cross- section from top to bottom. The relief cut To avoid splintering the bark on thick branches, always start with a relief cut (1) on the lower side of the branch.

• To do this, guide the saw in an arc through the underside of the branch (see illustration).

• Then place the hook against the branch and make the cross-cut (2). Cut thick branches flush If the branch diameter is more than 10 cm, first cut it with relief and cross-section (3) at a distance (A) of about 20 cm from the actual target.

• Then you can cut the branch flush (4) through relief and subsequent cross-section. Cutting over obstacles The long reach allows the cutting of branches and twigs hanging over obstacles such as rivers or ponds. The angle of the tool depends on the position of the branches and twigs. Reactive forces Reactive forces occur during the operation of the saw-chain. The forces that are to be applied to the wood act against the user. They happen when the running chain comes into contact with a solid object such as a branch or is jammed. These forces can lead to a loss of control and injuries as a result. Understanding the origin of these forces can help you avoid the fright and loss of control. This saw is designed so that the kickback effects are not as noticeable as with conventional chainsaws. Nevertheless, always keep a firm grip and an excellent stance to maintain control of the tool in case of doubt. The most common effects are:

Kickback Kickback may occur if the running saw-chain hits or is jammed against a solid object at the upper quarter of the guide bar. The cutting force of the chain exerts a rotational force on the saw in the opposite direction to the chain movement. This results in an upward movement of the guide bar. Avoiding kickback The best protection is to avoid situations that lead to setbacks.

4. Always keep an eye on the position of the top guide rail.

5. Never let this point come into contact with an object. Do not cut it. Be especially

careful near wire fences and when cutting small, hard branches where the chain can easily get caught.

6. Only cut one branch at a time.

A = Retraction The retraction (A) occurs when the chain suddenly becomes stuck on the underside of the bar because it is jammed or hits a foreign object in the wood. The chain then pulls the saw forward. The retraction often occurs when the chain does not run at full speed when it comes into contact with the wood. Avoid retraction B = Kickback Be aware of the forces and situations that can cause the chain to jam at the bottom of the bar.

2. Always start cutting with the chain running at full speed.

Recoil (B) occurs when the chain is suddenly stuck on the top of the bar because it is jammed or hits a foreign object in the wood. The chain can then press the saw against the operator with a jerk. Kickback often occurs when the bar top is used for cutting. Avoid kickback

4. Be aware of the forces and situations that can cause the chain to jam on the top

5. Do not cut more than one branch at a time.

6. Do not tilt the bar sideways when pulling it out of a cutting gap, as the chain

During operation Check the chain tension regularly! A new chain must be re-tensioned more often than an older one.Original Bedienungsanleitung FUXTEC FX-MT152/-MT152E/-MT252_de_en_fr_ita_es_rev20

Cold chain: Tension is correct when the chain is close to the bottom of the bar and can still be pulled along the bar by hand. Retighten if necessary (see section "Tensioning the saw-chain"). The chain at operating temperature: The chain expands and begins to sag. The dynamic links on the bottom of the bar should not fall out of the groove. Otherwise, the chain will fall off the bar. Retighten the chain (see section "Tensioning the saw-chain"). After work Loosen the chain if you have tightened it while working at operating temperature. The chain contracts when it cools down. If it does not loosen, it may cause damage to the gear wheel and bearing. Guide bar maintenance

• Turn the bar over each time you have sharpened or replaced the chain. This will prevent uneven wear of the bar, especially at the top and bottom. Clean regularly 1 = the opening for the oil supply 2 = the oil duct 3 = the running groove of the rail

Checking and replacing the sprocket

• Remove the sprocket cover, chain, and guide bar. Replace the sprocket: − at the latest after the service life of two chains or before. − when the wear marks on the sprocket are more deep-seated than 0.5 mm. Otherwise, the service life of the chain would be reduced. You can extend the life of your sprocket by using two chains alternately. Maintenance and sharpening of the saw chain The correctly sharpened chain An adequately sharpened chain goes effortlessly through the wood and requires veryOriginal Bedienungsanleitung FUXTEC FX-MT152/-MT152E/-MT252_de_en_fr_ita_es_rev20

little pressure. Do not work with a dull or damaged saw-chain. It increases physical strain, increases vibrations, and leads to unsatisfactory results and higher wear and tear:

• Check it for broken links and damaged rivets.

• Replace damaged and worn chain parts with suitable spare parts, which you can file to the shape and size of the original parts if necessary. Observe the angles and dimensions given below. If the saw chain is not sharpened correctly or the depth gauge is too small, there is a higher risk of kickback effects and resulting injuries! The saw chain cannot be fixed on the guide bar. It is, therefore, best to remove the chain from the guide bar and then sharpen it.

• Select a sharpening tool suitable for chain pitch. See "Technical data" for the approved chain pitches. The chain pitch (e.g., 3/8") is marked in the depth gauge of each blade.

Only use particular files for saw chains! Other files have the wrong shape and grinding. Choose the diameter of the file according to your Chain pitch. Please also note the following Angling when sharpening the chain knives. A = filing angle B = angle of the side plateOriginal Bedienungsanleitung FUXTEC FX-MT152/-MT152E/-MT252_de_en_fr_ita_es_rev20

The angle must also be maintained for all knives. If the angle is uneven, the chain will run irregularly, wear out quickly, and break prematurely. As these requirements can only be met with sufficient and regular practice:

• Use a file holder A file holder must be used when sharpening the saw- chain by hand. The correct file angles are marked on it.

• Hold the file horizontally (at the correct angle to the guide bar) and file according to the angle mark on the file holder. Support the file holder on the top plate and the depth gauge.

• Always file the blade from the inside out.

• The file sharpens only in the forward movement. Lift it off when moving backward.

• Do not touch the fastening straps and dynamic links with the file.

• Continue to rotate the file regularly to prevent uneven wear.

• Use a piece of hardwood to remove bones from cut edges. All knives must be of the same length. Otherwise, they will be of different heights. This makes the chain run irregularly and increases the risk of breaking.Original Bedienungsanleitung FUXTEC FX-MT152/-MT152E/-MT252_de_en_fr_ita_es_rev20

Starting/stopping the device Cold start

1. Place the device on a firm and flat surface.

Slide the engine stop switch to '' I '' in the direction of the engine.

2. Move the choke lever upwards to "COLD START."

3. Press the carburetor pump about 8-10 times (until gasoline flows in the line)

4. Pull out the starter rope with a short-stroke until resistance is felt

(about 100mm). A continuous, mainly fast train will provide a strong spark and let the engine report.

5. Important: As soon as the engine has responded, set the choke lever to the "WARM

START" position and pull the starter immediately until the engine starts.

6. Let the engine warm-up at idle for about 10 minutes

NOTE: If the device does not start after repeated attempts, refer to troubleshooting

chapters. NOTE: Always pull the starter cord straight out. Pulling the starter at an angle will cause the rope to rub against the eyelet. Pulling the starter at an angle can cause the starter cable to fray or break. Always hold the starter handle firmly when the rope is pulled back. Never allow the rope to be thrown back from the pulled-out position. This could damage the starter device.

Stopping the device Unlock the throttle. Let the device return to idle. Push the engine stop switch on the handle upwards until the device stops. If it does not stop, pull out the spark plug connector in an emergency. Never leave the device unattended while it is running. Refueling the engine

FUEL AND 2-STROKE OIL

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

WARNING: Never use pure gasoline in your engine. 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: This must be a premium grade, 2-stroke air-cooled engine oil.

FUEL MIXTURE Mix fuel with 2-stroke oil in a container provided for this purpose. Note the following the mixture table on the following page for the correct fuel/oil ratio. Shake the tank to ensure complete mixing.Original Bedienungsanleitung FUXTEC FX-MT152/-MT152E/-MT252_de_en_fr_ita_es_rev20

WARNING: Failure to lubricate the device eliminates the liability of the device

manufacturer. Gasoline and oil must not be mixed in a ratio of more than 40:1. 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 misfiring will occur under usual overload. If the backfiring is heard under average load, we recommend replacing the gasoline. If the misfire is still present afterward, please contact an authorized workshop.

⚫ Gasoline is highly flammable and can cause an explosion in the case of sparks. ⚫ Refuel only in well-ventilated rooms and allow the engine to cool down before filling. Smoking and open fire, as well as any sparks, must be avoided during refueling. ⚫ Do not overfill the tank (see figure max. filling level). ⚫ After refueling, check that the fuel filler cap is closed correctly. ⚫ Avoid any spillage of gasoline. ⚫ Keep the device away from children.

Trimming techniques CAUTION IF YOU are NOT familiar with the trimming techniques, practice with the DEVICE in the "STOP" position (turned off). ALWAYS TRIM OR CUT AT HIGH ENGINE SPEEDS. Do not run the device slowly at the start or in trim mode. ALWAYS MAKE DISTANCE IN THE WORKING AREA 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, immediately stop 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.

RELEASING THE NYLON THREAD

To release fresh thread, run the device at full throttle and tap the nylon cutting head onto the lawn. The thread releases automatically. The blade in the protective shield cuts off excess thread. CAUTION: Remove grass deposits regularly to prevent overheating of the drive axle. Grass deposits occur when fibers of the weed become entangled around the shaft under the protective shield. This prevents the shaft from cooling correctly. Remove grass deposits with a screwdriver or similar tool only when the device is switched off.

When the device is appropriately 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 particular attention when trimming on brick or stone walls, etc., where rapidOriginal Bedienungsanleitung FUXTEC FX-MT152/-MT152E/-MT252_de_en_fr_ita_es_rev20

weed wear will occur.

TRIM 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 a test area beforehand. 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.Original Bedienungsanleitung FUXTEC FX-MT152/-MT152E/-MT252_de_en_fr_ita_es_rev20
