Transporting the machine
Always stop the engine.
The tool should be carried hanging on
the harness or by the shaft, in such a
way that it is balanced.
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".
Avoid touching hot parts
of the machine and gear-
box – risk of burns!
By vehicle: When transporting in a
vehicle, properly secure your machine to
prevent turnover, damage and fuel
spillage.

Refueling
Gasoline is highly flam-
mable – 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 avoid fuel spillage.
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 refueling, close the
fuel cap as tightly as
possible.
This helps reduce the risk of engine
vibrations causing an incorrectly
tightened fuel cap to loosen or come off
and spill fuel.
Check for leaks. Do not start the engine
if there is a fuel leak – serious or fatal
burns could result!
Before starting
Check that your power tool is properly
assembled and in good condition – refer
to appropriate chapters in the User
Manual.
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 cutting attachment, deflector,
handle and harness. All parts must
be assembled properly and
securely
The stop switch / slide control must
–
be easy to actuate
Check the rotary knob for warm
–
start, throttle trigger lockout, throttle
trigger and set wheel for smooth
action – the throttle trigger must
return automatically to idle position.
From the warm start knob position
g, it must return to the run
position F when the throttle trigger
lockout and throttle trigger are
pressed simultaneously
Check that the spark plug boot is
–
secure – a loose boot may cause
sparking that could ignite
combustible fumes and cause a fire!
Cutting attachment or
–
interchangeable attachment:
correctly fitted, secure and in
perfect condition
