3.2 Transporting the machine
Always stop the engine.
Transport the machine by the handle or loop
handle, working tool facing forward.
Never touch hot parts – risk of burns!
The power tool can turn over or move while
being transported. Persons may be injured or
property may be damaged. Secure the power
tool with lashing straps or a net to prevent it turn‐
ing over and moving. Allow the power tool to cool
down before transporting it by vehicle. Position
the power tool so that no fuel can escape.

in the user manual of the MultiTool you are
using.
3.3 Refueling
Gasoline is highly flammable – keep
away from fire or flame – do not spill
any fuel – no smoking.
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 to pre‐
vent fuel spraying out.
Only refuel the machine in a well ventilated
place. If fuel has been spilled, immediately clean
the machine – do not allow your clothes to be
splashed with fuel. If that happens, change your
clothes at once.
After fueling, tighten down the screw-
type fuel cap as securely as possible.
This helps reduce the risk of engine vibrations
causing an incorrectly tightened fuel cap to
loosen or come off and spill fuel.

3 Safety Precautions and Working Techniques
Check for fuel leakage! Never start
the engine if fuel has been spilled or
is leaking – fatal burns may result!
3.4 Before starting
Check that your power tool is properly assem‐
bled and in good condition – refer to appropriate
chapters in the User Manuals:
– Check the fuel system for leaks, especially the
visible parts, e. g., fuel cap, hose connections,
manual fuel pump (only in machines with a
manual fuel pump). In case of leakage and
damage, do not start the engine – risk of fire!
Have the machine serviced by a dealer before
using it
– Use only an approved combination of attach‐
ment and deflector. All parts must be assem‐
bled properly and securely.
– The stop switch must be easy to push
– Smooth action of throttle trigger lockout 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.
– Do not make any changes to the controls or
the safety devices.
– Keep the handles dry and clean – free from oil
and dirt – for safe control of the power tool.
– Swing the bike handle to the normal operating
position and tighten it down firmly with the
rotary knob. See "Adjusting the Bike Handle".
The power tool must only be operated when it is
in good operating condition – Risk of accident!

manual of the MultiTool you are using.
Check the position of the gearbox for the Multi‐
Tool you have mounted and correct it if neces‐
sary. This helps reduce the risk of injury from the
MultiTool rotating in the wrong direction.
