High risk for fire and explosion
1. Always be careful when handling petrol as it is extremely flammable.
2. Never attempt to refuel if any part of the fuel system is damaged in any way.
3. Never fill the fuel tank when the engine is warm. Let it cool down properly
before refuelling.
4. Never smoke or ignite flames in the vicinity of the grass trimmer or in areas where
fuel is stored.
5. Only transport and store fuel in approved containers designed for that purpose.
6. Never place flammable materials close to the grass trimmer’s silencer.
7. Never use the trimmer if the silencer has been damaged in any way.
8. Never use fuel blended with ethanol or methanol. These fuel blends can cause
damage to the engine and fuel system.
9. When mixing fuel yourself, only mix the amount you need for the moment. Never store
fuel for any extended period of time. Using old fuel can lead to starting problems.
Operational precautions
1. Always work alone. Ensure that no bystanders are in the near vicinity. Keep children,
pets and bystanders at a distance of at least 15 m from the area where the grass
trimmer is intended to be used.
2. If several grass trimmers are used, keep a safe 15 m distance between users.
3. Try to avoid hitting foreign objects with trimmer line. In the event that this should
occur, shut off the grass trimmer and check the trimmer line.
4. Always make sure you have good footing. Never work in the rain or on wet grass.
5. Ensure that the trimmer head is correctly mounted and it is in the correct
operational position while in use.
6. Do not trim too close to fences, stones or any other hard objects. Doing so may
damage the trimmer line or cause it to fly off.
7. Turn off the grass trimmer and set it on the ground before cleaning the trimmer
head. Never attempt to clean the trimmer head with the engine running.
Even when the grass trimmer is in idle, there is still a potential that the trimmer
head can inadvertently be engaged and cause bodily injury.
