injury and damage to property caused while

3.3 Refueling
Gasoline is highly flammable – 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 to pre‐
vent fuel spraying out.
Only refuel the machine in a well ventilated
place. If fuel has been spilled, immediately clean
the machine – do not allow your clothes to be
splashed with fuel. If that happens, change your
clothes at once.

3 Safety Precautions and Working Techniques
After refueling, close the fuel cap as
tightly as possible.
This helps reduce the risk of unit vibrations caus‐
ing 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!
3.4 Before starting
Check that your power tool is properly assem‐
bled 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
– Use only an approved combination of cutting
attachment, deflector, handle and harness. All
parts must be assembled properly and
securely
– Slide control / stop switch must move easily to
STOP or 0
– Smooth action of throttle trigger lockout and
throttle trigger – the throttle trigger must return
automatically to the idle position
– 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 harness and handle to suit your height
and reach.
The power tool must only be operated when it is
in good operating condition – Risk of accident!
To prepare for an emergency when using har‐
nesses: Practice quickly removing and setting
down the power tool. To avoid damage, do not
throw the power tool to the ground when practic‐
ing.
