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
4
allow your clothes to be splashed with
fuel. If that happens, change your
clothes at once.
After fueling, tighten
down the screw-type fuel
cap as securely as
possible.
This helps reduce the risk of unit
vibrations causing an incorrectly
tightened fuel cap to loosen or come off
and spill quantities of 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
Manuals:
Check the fuel system for leaks,
–
especially the visible parts, e. g.,
fuel cap, hose connections, manual
fuel pump (only in machines with a
manual 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

of cutting attachment, deflector,
handle and harness. All parts must
be assembled properly and
securely

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 g and <
positions 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!
Never attempt to modify the controls
–
or safety devices
Keep the handles dry and clean –
–
free from oil and dirt – this is
important for safe control of the
machine
Adjust the harness and handle(s) to
–
suit your height and reach
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do
not operate your power tool if it is
damaged or not properly assembled!
To prepare for emergencies when using
a harness: Practice setting down the
machine quickly. To avoid damage, do
not throw the machine to the ground
when practicing.
