WARNING:
The catalytic converter muffler
gets very hot during and after use. This also
applies during idling. Be aware of the fire
hazard, especially when working near flammable
substances and/or vapours.
Fueling
a WARNING:
Taking the following precautions,
will lessen the risk of fire:
● Mix and pour fuel outdoors, where there are no
sparks or flames.
● Do not smoke or place hot objects near fuel.
● Always shut off the engine before refueling.
● Always stop the engine and let it cool for a few
minutes before refueling.
● When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly so that
any excess pressure is released gently.
● Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refueling.
● Always move the machine away from the refueling
area and source before starting.

Check before starting

● Check the blade to ensure that no cracks have
formed at the bottom of the teeth or by the center
hole. The most common reason why cracks are
formed is that sharp corners have been formed at
the bottom of the teeth while sharpening or that
the blade has been used with dull teeth. Discard a
blade if cracks are found.
● Check that the support flange is not cracked due to
fatigue or due to being tightened too much. Discard
the support flange if it is cracked.
● Ensure the locking nut has not lost its captive force.
The nut lock should have a locking force of at least
1.5 Nm. The tightening torque of the locking nut
should be 35-50 Nm.
● Check that the blade guard is not damaged or
cracked. Replace the blade guard if it is exposed to
impact or is cracked.
Check that the trimmer head and trimmer guard are
not damaged or cracked. Replace the trimmer head or
trimmer guard if they have been exposed to impact or
are cracked.

STARTING AND STOPPING

Ensure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the
container before filling the tank.
● Never use the machine without a guard nor with a
defective guard.
● All covers must be correctly fitted and undamaged
before you start the machine.
