SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Start

!WARNING!

When the engine starts with the choke lever in the choke or starter throttle position the cutting tool (blade or trimmer) 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, make sure the blade is free from branches and stones. Press the machine body against the ground using your left hand (NOTE! Do not use your foot). 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 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.

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.

The engine must be cooling off before storage or packaging.

!WARNING!

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