Transporting the machine
Always stop the engine.
Carry the machine hanging on the
harness or by the shaft so that it is
balanced. Fit transport guard on metal
cutting attachments to avoid the risk of
injury from blade contact
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, fuel
pump (only in engine-driven devices
with a 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 must be easy to
–
push
Check the choke lever, throttle
–
trigger and throttle trigger lockout
for smooth action - throttle trigger
must return automatically to idle
position. The choke lever must
spring back from the } position to
the run position F when the throttle
trigger lockout and throttle trigger
are squeezed.
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
