Screw Cap
!Warning!
Unit vibrations can cause
an improperly tightened
fuel filler cap to loosen or
come off and spill
quantities of fuel. In order
to reduce the risk of fuel
spillage and fire, tighten the fuel filler cap
by hand with as much force as possible.
Operating instructions
! Warning!
Improper use of any power tool can
cause serious or fatal personal injury. To
reduce the risk of personal injury to the
operator from operating the power tool
always follow the safety instructions on
operating the power tool as provided in
the owner’s manuals of the
CombiEngine and the CombiTool.
Starting
!Warning!
Your power tool is a one-person
machine. To reduce the risk of injury,
keep bystanders out of your working
area (see CombiTool manuals for
specific distances).
Stop the engine and cutting tool
immediately if you are approached. Start
and operate your power tool without
assistance. For specific starting
instructions, see the appropriate section
of your manuals. Place the power tool on
firm ground or other solid surface in an
open area. Maintain a good balance and
secure footing.
!Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of
control, be absolutely sure that the
working tool is clear of you and all other
obstructions and objects, including the
ground, because when the engine starts
at starting-throttle, engine speed will be
fast enough for the clutch to engage and
move the working tool.
!Warning!
When you pull the starter grip, don't
wrap the starter rope around your hand.
Do not allow the grip to snap back, but
guide the starter rope to rewind it
properly. Failure to follow this procedure
may result in injury to hand or fingers
and may damage the starter
mechanism.
See also the Safety Instructions on
Starting in the owner’s manual of the
CombiTool.
Muffler
!Warning!
Do not operate your power tool if the
muffler is damaged, missing or modified.
Such a muffler could cause an increase
in heat radiation or sparks, thereby
increasing the risk of fire or burn injury.
You may also permanent damage the
engine.
!Warning!
The muffler and other parts of the engine
(e.g. fins of the cylinder, spark plug)
become hot during operation and remain
hot for a while after stopping the engine.
To reduce risk of burns do not touch the
muffler and other parts while they are
hot.
!Warning!
To reduce the risk of fire or burn injury,
keep the area around the muffler clean.
Remove all debris such as pine needles,
branches or leaves when the engine is
off and cooled.
