Introduction

This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your FUXTEC FX-4MS131 Petrol Brush Cutter. Please read this manual thoroughly before initial use and keep it for future reference. The FUXTEC FX-4MS131 is a powerful 4-stroke grass trimmer designed for efficient lawn edge trimming, grass cutting, and clearing of tough brushwood.

Important Safety Warnings

Always use appropriate protective equipment, including safety glasses, hearing protection, and gloves, during operation. Keep children and pets away from the working area. Do not leave the engine running unattended. In case of any defect or damage, cease operation immediately and arrange for repair by qualified personnel. Use the brush cutter only for its intended purpose.

Setup and Initial Preparation

Before operating your FUXTEC FX-4MS131, proper assembly and preparation are crucial for safety and performance. While assembly is generally straightforward, referring to the included diagrams and instructions is recommended.

Assembly

Assemble the handle, shaft, and cutting head according to the detailed instructions provided in the separate assembly guide. Ensure all connections are secure and fasteners are tightened appropriately. The ergonomic two-hand grip should be positioned for comfortable and balanced operation.

Fuel and Oil Filling

The FX-4MS131 features a 4-stroke engine. Fill the fuel tank with unleaded petrol (E10 compatible). For engine oil, use SAE 10W30. It is critical to check the engine oil level before each use, as some units may be delivered without pre-filled engine oil. Failure to do so can lead to severe engine damage.

Before starting, prime the carburetor by pressing the fuel pump bulb 3-4 times until fuel is visible. This ensures proper fuel delivery to the engine.

1. Place the brush cutter on a flat, stable surface.
2. Ensure the emergency stop switch is in the 'ON' position.
3. Engage the choke (if cold start).

Using the Brush Cutter

The brush cutter features a stepless speed controller for precise power adjustment. The professional comfort carrying strap ensures comfortable handling and reduces fatigue during extended use. The versatile design allows for both line trimming and blade cutting.

• Line Head (Tippautomatik): Ideal for trimming lawn edges and lighter grass. The line automatically extends by tapping the head on the ground while the engine is running.
• 3-Tooth Blade: Suitable for thicker grass, weeds, and light brushwood. Ensure the blade is securely attached before use.
