SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

General safety instructions

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

This machine is intended solely for trimming and clearing grass and for light brush-cutting.

The only accessories to be used with the engine unit as a drive source are the cutting units we recommend in the chapter “Technical data“.

Never use the machine if you are tired, if you have consumed alcohol, or if you are taking medicines that can affect your sight, your judgement or the control of your body.

Use personal protective equipment. See the section “Personal protective equipment“.

Never use a machine that has been modified so that it no longer corresponds with the original design.

Never use a machine that is faulty. Follow the maintenance, control and service instructions in this Operator‘s Manual. Some maintenance and service actions should be carried out by trained and qualified specialists. See the chapter “Mainte- nance“.

All covers and guards must be fitted before starting the machine. Check that the spark plug cap and HT lead are not damaged, otherwise you could get an electric shock.

The machine operator shall ensure, while working, that no persons or animals come closer than 15 metres (50 feet). When several operators are working in the same area the safety distance should be at least double tree length, however, at least 15 metres (50 feet).

!WARNING!

Faulty cutting equipment or an incorrectly sharpened blade increases the risk of accidents.

Fuel safety

Always use a fuel container with an anti-spill valve.

Never fill the machine while the engine is running. Always stop the engine and let it cool for a few minutes before refuelling.

Provide good ventilation when filling or mixing fuel (petrol and 2-stroke oil).

Move the machine at least 3 m from the filling position before starting.

Never start the machine:

a)If you have spilt fuel on it. Wipe up all spillage.

b)If you have spilt fuel on yourself or your clothes. Change your clothes.

c)If there is a fuel leak. Make regular checks for leakage from the fuel cap and the fuel supply pipes.

Start

!WARNING!

When the engine starts with the choke lever in the choke or starter throttle position the cutting equipment starts to rotate immediately.

The complete clutch cover

with shaft must be fitted before the machine is started, otherwise the clutch can become loose and cause personal injury.

• Never start the machine indoors. Bear in mind the dangers of inhaling the engine‘s exhaust fumes.

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 equipment runs free of twigs and stones. Push the machine body towards the ground using your left hand. (NOTE! Not with your foot). Grip the starter handle with your right hand and pull the starter cord.

Transport and storage

Store and transport the machine and fuel so that any leakage or fumes do not risk coming into contact with sparks or naked flames. For example, electric machines, electric motors, electrical switches/power switches, heaters or the like.

When storing and transporting fuel approved containers intended for this purpose must be used.

When storing the machine for long periods the fuel tank must be emptied. Contact your local petrol station to find out how to dispose of excess fuel.

Always keep the transport guard attached when transporting and storing the machine.

!WARNING!

Exercise great care when handling fuel. Bear in mind the risk of fire, explosions and inhaling fumes.
