Never run the cutter without this guard!

All protective installations and guards supplied with the machine must be used during operation.

Never operate the engine with faulty exhaust muffler.

Shut off the engine during transport.

During transport over long distances the tool protection included with the equipment must always be used.

Ensure safe position of the Brush Cutter during car transportation to avoid fuel leakage.

When transporting the Brush Cutter, ensure that the fuel tank is completely empty.

When unloading the Brush Cutter from the truck, never drop the Engine to the ground or this may severely damage the fuel tank.

Except in case of emergency, never drop or cast the Brush Cutter to the ground or this may severely damage the Brush Cutter.

Remember to lift the entire equipment from the ground when moving the equipment. Dragging the fuel tank is highly dangerous and will cause damage and leakage of fuel, possibly causing fire.

Refuelling

Shut off the engine during refuelling, keep away from open flames and do not smoke.

Avoid skin contact with mineral oil products. Do not inhale fuel vapor. Always wear protective gloves during refuelling. Change and clean protective clothing at regular intervals.

Take care not to spill either fuel or oil in order to prevent soil contamination (environmental protection). Clean the Brush Cutter immediately after fuel has been spilt.

Avoid any fuel contact with your clothing. Change your clothing instantly if fuel has been spilt on it (to prevent clothing catching fire).

Inspect the fuel cap at regular intervals making sure that it can be securely fastened and does not leak.

Carefully tighten the fuel tank cap. Change location to start the engine (at least 3 meters away from the place of refuelling).

Never refuel in closed rooms. Fuel vapors accumulate at ground lever (risk of explosions).

Only transport and store fuel in approved containers. Make sure the fuel stored is not accessible to children.
