The product has been built according to state-of-the-
art and the recognised technical safety rules. However,
individual residual risks can arise during operation.
• Furthermore, despite all precautions having been
met, some non-obvious residual risks may still re-
main.
• Residual risks can be minimised if the “Safety In-
structions” and the “Intended Use” together with the
operating manual as a whole are observed.
• Keep your hands away from the working area when
the product is in operation.
• Take safety measures when handling petrol to re-
duce the risk of serious injury.
• Use a suitable petrol can when lling or draining the
tank.
• Carry out this work in clean, well-ventilated outdoor
areas.
• Do not smoke. Do not allow sparks, naked ames or
other sources of re to get near when lling up with
petrol or working with the machine.
• Never ll the tank indoors. Keep earthed, electri-
cally conductive objects, such as tools, away from
exposed electrical parts and wires to avoid sparking
or arcing. This could ignite petrol gases.
• Always switch o󰀨 the engine and let it cool down
before relling the fuel tank. Never remove the fuel
ller cap or ll fuel into the tank while the engine is
running or while the engine is hot.
• Do not use the product if you know there is a leak in
the fuel system. Slowly loosen the fuel ller cap to
release any pressure in the tank. Never overll the
tank (petrol should never be above the marked max-
imum ll level). Close the fuel tank securely again
with the fuel ller cap and wipe up any spilled petrol.
• Do not use the product if the fuel ller cap is not
screwed tightly shut. Avoid ignition sources near
spilled petrol. If petrol has been spilled, do not at-
tempt to start the product. Move the product away
from the area of the spillage and prevent the forma-
tion of ignition sources until the petrol gases have
dissipated.
• Store fuel only in containers specially manufactured
for this purpose.
• Store petrol in a cool, well-ventilated area away from
sparks and naked ames or other sources of igni-
tion. Never store petrol or the product with a lled
tank in a building where petrol gases could reach
sparks, naked ames or other ignition sources such
as water heaters, ovens, clothes dryers or similar.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing the product in
an enclosed area.
• Always maintain good footing on inclines. The fol-
lowing applies to wheeled machines: Always mow
across hills i.e. never straight up or straight down.
• Take particular care when changing direction on a
slope.
• Do not run the combustion engine in closed rooms in
which hazardous carbon monoxide can collect.
• Wear work gloves and safety shoes, safety goggles,
close-tting work clothes, and hearing protection
(PPE) while working.
