SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(CAUTION! Not with your foot). Then grip the starter
handle with your right hand and pull the starter cord.
Never wrap the starter cord around your hand
Fuel safety
• Always use a fuel container with an anti-spill valve.
• Never refuel the machine while the engine is running.
Always stop the engine and let it cool for a few minutes
before refuelling.
• Make sure there is plenty of ventilation when refuelling or
mixing fuel (gasoline and 2-stroke oil).
• Move the machine at least 3 m from the refuelling point
before starting it.
• Never start the machine:
1 If you have spilt fuel on it. Wipe off the spillage and
allow remaining fuel to evaporate.
2 If you have spilt fuel on yourself or your clothes,
change your clothes. Wash any part of your body that
has come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water.
3 If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks
from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
4 Avoid all skin contact with fuel. Fuel is a skin irritant
and may even cause skin changes.
Transport and storage
• Store and transport the machine and fuel so that there is
no risk of any leakage or fumes coming into contact with
sparks or naked flames, for example, from electrical
machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/switches or
boilers.
• When storing and transporting fuel always use approved
containers intended for this purpose.
• When storing the machine for long periods the fuel tank
must be emptied. Contact your local gas station to find out
where to dispose of excess fuel.
• The transport guard must always be fitted to the cutting
attachment when the machine is being transported or in
storage.
General working instructions
Basic safety rules
1 Look around you:
• To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot
affect your control of the machine.
• To ensure that people, animals, etc., do not come into
contact with the cutting attachment or loose objects that
are thrown out by the cutting attachment.
• CAUTION! Do not use the machine unless you are able to
call for help in the event of an accident.
2 Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense
fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in
bad weather is tiring and often brings added risks, such as
icy ground, unpredictable felling direction, etc.
3 Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check the area
around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks, branches,
ditches, etc.) in case you have to move suddenly. Take
great care when working on sloping ground.
4 Switch off the engine before moving to another area. Fit
the transport guard before carrying or transporting the
equipment any distance.
5 Never put the machine down with the engine running
unless you have it in clear sight.
!
WARNING! Take care when handling fuel.
Bear in mind the risk of fire, explosion and
inhaling fumes.
