• Change the place before starting the engine at least 3 meters
from the place of refueling.
• 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
Never work alone. In case of emergencies, another
person must be within shouting distance. Before
beginning to work, inform the other person about
the protective devices available on the machi-
ne!
• Children and other persons must remain more than 15 me-
ters from the working area. Keep an eye out for animals as
well.
• 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 protective devices must be undamaged and securely
installed in the correct position (see Chapter "Operation").
Otherwise you are in danger of injury!
• Start the brushcutter only in accordance with the instructions
(see Chapter "Operation". Do not use any other methods
for starting the engine!
• Use this brushcutter and its cutting tools only for the above-
mentioned uses they are intended for as specified in the
documentation.
Start the brushcutter only after complete assembly
and inspection. Operation of the machine is only
permitted after all the appropriate accessories
are attached!
The cutting tool must be equipped with its appro-
priate cutter guard. Never run the cutter without
this cutter guard.
• The cutting tool must not turn during idling. If necessary
adjust the idling speed (see Chapter "Operation").
• 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,
immediately switch off the engine and inspect the cutting
tool.
• Inspect the cutting tool at frequent intervals for damage (detect
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 (see Chapter "Preparations"). 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.
