Regular maintenance is essential for safety and
performance.
2) Never store the equipment with fuel in the
tank inside a building where vapour may reach
a flame or a spark or a source of extreme heat.
3) Allow the engine to cool before storing in an
enclosed space.
4) To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine,
exhaust silencer, battery compartment and fuel
storage area free of grass, leaves, or excessive
grease. Do not leave containers with grass cut-
tings in rooms.
5) If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should
be done outdoors and when the engine is cool.
6) Wear strong work gloves when removing and
reassembling the blade.
7) Check the blade’s balance after sharpening.
8) For reasons of safety, do not use the equip-
ment with worn or damaged parts. Parts are to
be replaced and not repaired. Use genuine
spare parts (blades should always bear the
symbol

ity can damage the equipment and be danger-
ous for your safety.
9) Whenever the machine is to be handled,
transported or tilted you must:
– wear strong working gloves;
– grasp the machine at the points that offer a
safe grip, taking account of the weight and its
distribution.
THE ENVIRONMENT
In order to protect the environment, we recom-
mend that the following points should be given
special consideration:
•
Always use pure unleaded petrol.
•
Always use a funnel and/or a petrol can with a
level control to avoid spillage when refilling the
fuel tank.
•
Do not fill the fuel tank completely.
•
Do not overfill with engine and/or transmission
oil.
•
When changing the oil, ensure that all the used
oil is collected. Avoid spillage. Take the used oil
to a recycling unit.
•
Do not dispose of used oil filter in a rubbish bin.
Take it to a recycming unit.
•
Do not dispose of used lead-acid batteries in a
rubbish bin. Take them to a battery collection
point for recycling (applies to battery-powered
machines and machines with battery start).
•
Replace the silencer if faulty. When carrying out
repairs, always use original spare parts.
•
If the machines was originally equipped with a
catalyser which is now faulty, a new one must
be fitted when the silencer is replaced.
•
Always seek professional help when the carbu-
rettor requires adjustment.
•
Clean the air filter according to the directions.
•
When, after many years of service, your
machine needs to be replaced or is no longer
required, we recommended that the machine is
returned to your distributor for recycling.
