essential to adjust the shoulder strap according to the user's size to prevent
fatigue occurring during use. Never hold the cutter with one hand during

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 (10ft) away from the place of refuelling).
– Never refuel in closed rooms. Fuel vapors accumulate at ground level (risk
of explosion).
– Only transport and store fuel in approved containers. Make sure the fuel
stored is not accessible to children.
