-
Ensure that no fuel or chain oil oozes into the soil (environmental
protection). Use an appropriate base.
- Refuelling is not allowed in closed rooms. Fuel vapors will
accumulate near the
fl
oor (explosion hazard).
-
Carefully tighten the locking screw of the fuel tank and inspect
the fuel cap at regular intervals.
-
Change the place before starting the engine (at least 3 meters
from the place of refuelling) (6).
- Fuel cannot be stored for an unlimited period of time. Buy
only as much as will be consumed in the near future.
- Use only approved and marked containers for the transport
and storage of fuel. Ensure children have no access to fuel.
Putting into operation
-
Do not work alone. Another person must be nearby in case
of emergencies
(
within shouting distance
).
-
Children and other persons must remain more than 15 meters
(50 feet) from the working area. Keep an eye out for animals
as well (7).
-
Before use always check that the brushcutter is safe for
operation:
Make sure the cutting tool is securely installed. The throttle
must automatically return to the off position when released,
and the throttle lever lock must work properly. The cutting tool
must not turn during idling. The handles should be clean and
dry. The on/off switch must function properly. The guard must
be undamaged and securely installed in the correct position.
Otherwise you are in danger of injury!
- Start the brushcutter only in accordance with the instructions.
Do
not use any other methods for starting the engine
(8)
!
-
Use this brushcutter and its cutting tools only for the uses they
are intended for as speci
fi
ed in the documentation.
-
Start the brushcutter only after complete assembly and
inspection. Operation of the device is only permitted after
all the appropriate accessories are attached!
-
The cutting tool must be equipped with its appropriate
guard. Never run the cutter without this guard!
-
The cutting tool must not turn during idling. If necessary adjust
the idling speed.
-
Before starting, make sure that the cutting tool has no contact
with hard objects such as branches, stones etc.
- The engine must be switched off immediately if there are any
noticeable changes in the behavior of the equipment.
- Should the cutting tool hit stones or other hard objects, im-
mediately switch off the engine and inspect the cutting tool.
- Inspect the cutting tool at frequent intervals for damage (de-
tect hairline cracks by means of tapping - noise test). Hairline
cracks can occur in the region of the base of the
teeth after long use.
Damaged cutting tools and
cutting tools with hairline cracks must not be
used any longer under any circumstances.
-
Operate the brushcutter only with the shoulder strap
attached, which is to be suitably adjusted before putting the
brushcutter into operation. It is essential to adjust the shoulder
strap according to the user’s size to prevent fatigue during use.
Never hold the cutter with one hand during use.
- When working with the brushcutter always hold it with both
hands (9).
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
-
Operate the brushcutter in such a manner as to avoid inhalation
of the exhaust gases. Do not start or operate the brush cutter
in closed rooms (risk of gas poisoning). Carbon monoxide is
an odorless gas. Work only in well-ventilated places.
- When taking a break or leaving the brushcutter unattended,
turn off the engine (10) and set the brushcutter down in such
a way that there is no risk of injury to yourself or others.
-
Never put the hot brushcutter onto dry grass or onto any com-
bustible materials.
- Shut off the engine during transport or when moving on to a
new location (10).
- Never operate the engine with a faulty exhaust muf
fl
er.
