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 ?

Mine does the same after held on its side for a while, but not too soon as
to be a problem. Check if the pick up tube inside the tank is free to dangle
down into the fuel.

You've taken the words out of my mouth. Dunno about that hedgecutter,
but on chainsaws there is usually a fairly weighty filter on the tube
that tends to drop to the lowest part of the tank, it works well
normally but on some models it can get wedged in the corner of the
tank.
