D) MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1. Ensure that all screws and bolts are tightly fas-
tened so that the machine can be used in safety.
Regular maintenance is essential for safety and
a consistently high performance.
2. Do not use the machine if any parts are dam-
aged or worn. These parts must be replaced, not
repaired. Use original spare parts.The cutting
tools must always bear the manufacturer’s mark
as well as the maximum working speed. Spare
parts that are not the same quality may damage
the machine and jeopardise safety.
3. Wear thick gloves to remove and refit the cut-
ting tools.
4. Never store the brush cutter with fuel in the
tank in an environment where petrol fumes could
come into contact with a flame, spark or sources
of extreme heat.
5. Store the brush cutter in a clean and dry envi-
ronment, out of the reach of children.
6. Let the motor cool down before it is stored in
any environment.
7. To reduce the risk of fire, clean any leaves,
grass or excess oil from the brush cutter, espe-
cially its motor, cooling fins, exhaust pipe and
fuel tank.
8. If the fuel tank has to be drained, do so out-
doors when the motor is cold.
9. Do not add, remove or modify any machine
components.
This could cause:
– injuries to the operator and other people pres-
ent
– damage to the machine moreover, this invali-
dates the warranty.
10. During storage or transport, always cover the
blade with its guard in order to prevent acciden-
tal injury.
11. To respect the environment do not dispose of
oil or petrol by pouring it into the drainage sys-
tem, gutters or into the ground. A local service
station can have oil and fuel recycled in total
safety.

between the rear and front handgrips. The front
handgrip must be positioned on the drive tube in

specific seats in the handgrip, then fit the screws
with washers. Tighten the screws gradually and
uniformly. Before fully tightening, adjust the posi-
