- Only work during daylight, or when the area is illuminated well using lighting.
- Subject the tool to a visual inspection before each use.
- Check, if all screws and connecting parts are tightened.
- Always use both hands to hold the tool.
- Check the tool, and its components and guards for damages, or wear and tear before
each use, and have it repaired, if necessary. Never make the devices for protection and
safety inoperable. Do not use the tool, when damages or signs of wear become appar-
ent.
- Keep the tools clean and fully functional to ensure better and safer work.
- Always maintain a safe distance between the tool and your body during work.
- Always switch off the tool when work will be interrupted or the location will be changed;
wait until the cutting tools have completely stopped, and turn off the engine.
- Never leave the tool without supervision at the place of work. Store the tool at a safe
place when work will be interrupted.
- Never use the tool during rain, in a humid or wet environment, and do not store it out-
doors. Should the tool become wet, wait until it is completely dry before you use it again.
- The appliance and cutting tools must be properly inspected and serviced periodically.
Damages must be repaired by a service center.
- Only use accessories recommended by the manufacturer.
- Have your tool serviced only by an authorized service center and by use of original spare
parts only. This ensures that the tool will work safely in future.
- Before working on the tool itself (e.g. transport, set-up, retooling, cleaning and mainte-
nance), disconnect the spark plug cap!
- Do not overload the engine, and do not use it for work the tool is not designed for.
- Check the engine for damages after impact, or other damages.
- Always make sure the ventilation openings are free of dirt.
- Store the tool out of the reach of children.
- Store the tool at a safe and dry location.
- Secure the tool during transport in order to prevent loss of fuel, damage or injury.
- FUEL SAFETY.
- Fuel is highly flammable, and its vapors can explode if ignited. Take precautions when
using to reduce the risk of serious personal injury. Do not smoke, or allow sparks, open
flames or other sources of ignition near the area while adding fuel or operating the unit.
Never fill fuel tank indoors. Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before filling the
fuel tank. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel while the engine is running or
when the engine is hot.
- Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools, away from exposed, live electrical
parts and connections to avoid sparking or arcing. These events could ignite fumes or
vapors.
- Do not operate the machine with known leaks in the fuel system. Avoid creating a source
of ignition for spilled fuel. If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move
the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition un-
til fuel vapors have dissipated.
- Store fuel in a cool, well-ventilated area, safely away from sparks, open flames or other
sources of ignition. Never store fuel or machine with fuel in the tank inside a building
where fumes may reach a spark, open flame, or other sources of ignition, such as a wa-
ter heater, furnace, clothes dryer and the like. Allow the engine to cool before storing in
any enclosure.
- Open the cap of the fuel tank slowly so that gasoline vapor can escape.
- Make sure the handles are dry, clean, and free of gasoline mixed with oil.
