NOTE:

It is normal for smoke to be emitted from a new

engine after first use.

WARNING:

Always shut off engine before fuelling. Never add
fuel to a machine with a running or hot engine.
Move at least 10m from refuelling site before
starting engine. Do not smoke! Failure to heed
this warning could result in serious personal

OXYGENATED FUELS

Some conventional petrol’s are blended with alcohol
or an ether compound. These petrol’s are collectively
referred to as oxygenated fuels.
If using an oxygenated fuel, make sure it is unleaded
and meets the minimum octane rating requirements.
Before using an oxygenated fuel, try to confirm the
fuel’s contents. The following are the EPA approved
percentages of oxygenates:
Ethanol (ethyl or grain alcohol) 10% by volume. You
may use petrol containing up to 10% ethanol by volume.
Petrol containing ethanol may be marketed under the
name “Gasohol.” Do not use E85 fuel.
MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) 15% by volume. You
may use petrol containing up to 15% MTBE by volume.
Methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) 5% by volume. You
may use petrol containing up to 5% methanol by volume
as long as it also contains co solvents and corrosion
inhibitors to protect the fuel system. Petrol containing
more than 5% methanol by volume may cause starting
and/or performance problems. It may also damage metal,
rubber, and plastic parts of the product or your fuel
system.
If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms, try
another service station or switch to another brand of
petrol.

NOTE:

Fuel system damage or performance problems

resulting from the use of an oxygenated fuel containing.

CAUTION:

If at any point during the charging process none
of the LEDs are lit, remove the battery pack from
the charger to avoid damaging the product. DO
NOT insert another battery. Return the charger
and battery to your nearest service centre for
service or replacement.

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a low
charge condition to prevent possible problems. Therefore,
you should charge overnight prior to use.

NOTE:

Batteries will not reach full charge the first

time they are charged. Allow several cycles (operation
followed by recharging) for them to become fully charged.

■

Charge battery pack only with the charging assembly
provided (BPH-1215 / 12V Ni-Cd).

■

Make sure power supply is normal household voltage,
220V~ to 240V~, 50 Hz.

■

Connect charger to power supply.

■

Place battery pack in charging stand. Align raised rib

on battery pack with groove in charging stand. See
Figure 7.

■

Press down on battery pack to be sure contacts
on battery pack engage properly with contacts in
charging stand.

■

The charge indicator light (LED), located on the
charging stand, will light up red and glow when the
charger is properly connected to power supply. This
light indicates the charger is operating properly. It will
remain on until battery pack is removed from charging
stand or charger is disconnected from power supply.

■

After normal usage, 3 hours or less of charging time
is required to fully recharge battery pack.

■

If both red and orange LED indicators glow, the
battery pack is deeply or completely discharged, and
6 hours or longer of charging time is required to fully
recharge battery pack.

NOTE:

If charger does not charge battery pack or orange

LED continues to glow after more than 30 minutes of
charging, return battery pack and charging assembly
to your nearest Ryobi Authorised Service Centre for
electrical check.

■

The battery pack will become slightly warm to the
touch while charging. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem.

■

Do not place charger in an area of extreme heat or
cold. It will work best at normal room temperature.

■

When batteries become fully charged, unplug charger
from power supply and remove the battery pack.

OPERATING THE BRUSHCUTTER/ TRIMMER

WARNING:

Always position the unit on the operator’s right
side. The use of the unit on the operator’s left
side will expose the user to hot surfaces and can
result in possible burn injury.

WARNING:

To avoid burns from hot surfaces, never operate
unit with the bottom of the engine above waist
level.
