Transporting the Power Tool
Turn off the engine before transporting
the unit over distances of more than
about 50 meters.
Carry the unit in the normal working
position: Power tool on your back, left
hand on the loop handle and the right
hand on the control handle – even if you
are left-handed – cutting attachment
lowered close to ground.
To reduce the risk of cut injuries, fit
transport guard on the cutting
attachment, even when carrying the tool
for short distances – see also
"Transporting the Unit".
To reduce the risk of seri-
ous burn injuries, avoid
touching hot parts of the
machine, including the
gearbox housing.
Transporting by vehicle: Properly secure
your power tool to prevent turnover, fuel
spillage and damage.

Fueling
Gasoline is an extremely
flammable fuel. Keep
clear of naked flames. Do
not spill any fuel – do not
smoke.
Always shut off the engine before
refueling.
Do not fuel a hot engine – fuel may spill
and cause a fire.
Open the fuel cap carefully to allow any
pressure build-up in the tank to release
slowly and avoid fuel spillage.
Fuel your power tool only in well-
ventilated areas. If you spill fuel, wipe
the machine immediately – if fuel gets on
your clothing, change immediately.
After fueling, tighten
down the fuel tank cap as
securely as possible.
This reduces the risk of unit vibrations
causing the fuel cap to loosen or come
off and spill quantities of fuel.
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal
burn injuries, check for fuel leakage. If
fuel leakage is found, do not start or run
the engine until leak is fixed.
Before Starting
Check that your power tool is properly
assembled and in good condition – refer
to appropriate chapters in the instruction
manual.
Check the fuel system for leaks,
–
paying special attention to visible
parts such as the tank cap, hose
connections and the manual fuel
pump (on machines so equipped). If
there are any leaks or damage, do
not start the engine – risk of fire.
Have your machine repaired by a
servicing dealer before using it
again.
Use only an approved combination
–
of cutting attachment, deflector and
handle. All parts must be
assembled properly and securely.
Slide control / stop switch must
–
move easily to STOP or 0.
Smooth action of throttle trigger
–
lockout (if fitted) and throttle trigger
– the throttle trigger must return
automatically to the idle position.
Check that the spark plug boot is
–
secure – a loose boot may cause
arcing that could ignite combustible
fumes and cause a fire.
