• Be careful not to spill petrol onto clothing. If petrol does come into contact with your clothing,
change your clothing at once.
Caution:
It is unsafe and thus expressly forbidden to fi ll the fuel tank in
the vicinity of smokers or naked fl ames.
• If fuel comes into contact with the eyes or is taken internally, obtain medical attention immediately.
9.3 Preparing the work site
• Clear the area fi rst where the machine is to be used. In addition, the paths along which the
plant trimmings are removed, must be kept clear, thus releasing you from the worries of tripping
up over them. Also ensure your safety is not compromised.
• On slopes, never operate the machine (no forward, backward or lateral slope.).
• The material to be shredded is to be sorted beforehand. In this way, you can be sure that no
foreign objects will enter the machine with the material to be shredded.
• Foreign objects are defi ned as: Any non-organic object or branchy material in excess of the
stated capacity (such as metal, stone, plastic, PVC, cords, etc.). Some of these can cause serious
damage to your machine or can be ejected, virtually as projectiles towards the user.
• Ensure to locate the machine such that fl ying chippings expelled from the discharge do not
cause damage to persons or properties.
• Always position the machine so that the wind will blow the dust produced away from the machine.
• Ensure that the machine can be positioned in such a way that there is suffi cient space to move
away from the work site after depositing chippings.
• Ensure that the ground cover at the work site does not cover the suction opening of the cooling air.
• Never run the machine in an enclosed area. If this is done, there is a danger of being poisoned
by the exhaust fumes from the engine.
