2.4. SECURITY WHEN USING FUEL
IMPORTANT: The fuel used is highly
inflammable. If the fuel or the machine
catch fire, fight the flames with a dry dust
fire extinguisher.
Always avoid eye contact with the fuel and the oil. If
petrol or oil were to come into contact with your eyes,
clean these immediately with clean water. If your eyes
are still irritated, visit the doctor immediately.
Do not smoke when handling fuel, when
refilling or when working.
When refilling, ensure that the machine is turned
off and that the engine is cold. Do not refill with the
engine on or when the engine is hot. In case of fuel
leakage, eliminate these before starting the machine.
Do not refill fuel in closed areas or near flames.
Store excess fuel in homologated recipients that
comply with European legislation.

other wooden objects, plastic materials, bricks and
construction materials. The use of this brush cutter for
jobs different to those stipulated can create dangerous
situations.
Use this machine and its accessories
according to the instructions provided and
taking into account working conditions

Do not force the machine over its capacity. Use the
machine for the correct job. The use of the machine
for its proper job, will ensure that you work better and
more safely.
Do not use this machine if the open and closed
switch does not work. Any machine that cannot be
controlled by the open and closed switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
Keep the machine with a good maintenance. Ensure
all moving parts are aligned and that no other parts

repair before use. Many breakages occur because
machines are poorly maintained.
Maintain the cutting elements sharp and clean.
Cutting elements that are clean and well sharpened,
are easier to control and less likely to block.
Maintain the handles of these machines dry and
clean. Oily or greasy handles are slippery and will
cause loss of control of the machine.
Switch off the machine and unplug the spark plug
before carrying out any adjustments to any part
of the machine and before storage. Such security
measures reduce the risk of accidental start up.

Periodically take your machine for revision by a
qualified after sales service and use only original
