Default Petrol Hedgecutter problem

Bought this Spear & Jackson petrol hedgetrimmer from Argos ( I didn't
know they made petrol stuff either ) but thought at £90 and with the
S&J name it must be a good buy !
Haven't been disappointed - build quality good and starts OK the only
thing is it tends to cut out when cutting side of hedge . It says in
handbook that this will happen if fuel tank not kept full .........
however doing this adds to weight etc. which is a shame cos this model
is lighter than most for petrol types.
Just wanted to know if this problem is typical with petrol machines
...... anyone had similar experiences ?
