General safety precautions
Starting
• The gear housing and clutch drum must be fitted before
the machine is started, otherwise the clutch can come
loose and cause personal injury.
• Never start the machine indoors. Exhaust fumes can be
dangerous if inhaled.
• Observe your surroundings and make sure that there is no
risk of people or animals coming into contact with the
cutting equipment.
• Place the machine on the ground, ensure the cutting
attachment is clear of twigs and stones. Hold the body of
the machine on the ground using your left hand
(CAUTION! Not with your foot). Then grip the starter
handle with your right hand and pull the starter cord.
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 (petrol and 2-stroke oil).
• Move the machine at least 3 m from the refuelling point
before starting it.
• Never start the machine:
- If you have spilt fuel on it. Wipe off the spillage and
allow remaining fuel to evaporate.

change your clothes. Wash any part of your body that
has come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water.
