Make sure there is plenty of ventilation when refuelling or
mixing fuel (petrol and 2-stroke oil).
•
Move the machine at least 3 m from the refuelling point
before starting it.

your clothes. Wash any part of your body that has come in
contact with fuel. Use soap and water.
- If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks
from the fuel cap and fuel lines.

Store and transport the machine and fuel so that there is
no risk of any leakage or fumes coming into contact with
sparks or naked flames, for example, from electrical
machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/switches or
boilers.

Always store fuel in an approved container designed for
that purpose.

When storing the machine for long periods the fuel tank
must be emptied. Contact your local petrol station to find

Look around you:
- To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot affect
your control of the machine.
- To make sure that none of the above come into contact with
the blades.

Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense
fog, rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in bad
weather is tiring and can lead to dangerous conditions,
e.g. slippery surfaces.

Never start to work with the power cutter before the
working area is clear and you have a firm foothold. Look
out for any obstacles with unexpected movement. Ensure
when cutting that no material can become loose and fall,
causing operating injury.Take great care when working on
sloping ground.
•
Ensure that clothes or parts of the body do not come into
contact with the blades when the engine starts.

Remain at a distance from the blades when the engine is
running.
•
The guards for the cutting equipment must always be fitted
when the machine is running.

Make sure that no pipes or electrical cables are routed in
the area to be cut.
