Fuel Filler Cap with Screw Thread
This reduces the risk of the cap working
loose due to engine vibrations and fuel
leaking out.
Before use, make sure that the fuel cap
has been properly tightened and any
spilled fuel wiped away. Check for fuel
leakage while refueling and during
operation. If a fuel leak is suspected, do
not start or run the engine until the leak
is fixed and spilled fuel has been wiped
away.
Before Starting
For assembly, follow the procedure
described in the appropriate section of
your instruction manual.
Never operate a cut-off machine that is
damaged, improperly adjusted or not
completely and securely assembled.
Check machine that it is ready for proper
operation.
Keep the handles dry, clean and free of
oil and fuel.
Proper tensioning of the ribbed V-belt is
important. In order to avoid an incorrect
setting, the tensioning procedure must
be followed as described in your
manual. Always make sure the
hexagonal collar nuts for the cast arm
are tightened securely.
Check ribbed belt tension after one hour
of operation and correct if necessary.
Starting
Do not drop start. This method is very
dangerous because you may lose
control of the cut-off machine. Place the
cut-off machine on firm ground or other
solid surface in an open area. Maintain
good balance and secure footing. Be
absolutely sure that the cutting wheel is
clear of you and all other obstructions
and objects, including the ground. When
the engine starts at starting-throttle,
engine speed will be fast enough for the
clutch to engage the belt pulley and turn
Tighten the fuel filler cap
as securely as possible
after refuelling.
Warning!
Never attempt to force the cap open by
using a tool. It may damage the cap and
allow fuel to leak.
Warning!
Before operation of your cut-off
machine, be sure the controls (e.g.
throttle trigger, throttle trigger lockout,
stop switch) and the safety devices are
working properly, the carburetor idle
and maximum speed are correctly
adjusted, the wheel is properly
mounted, and the wheel guard is in
place and securely fastened to your
unit. All wheels should be carefully
inspected for good condition before
mounting.
Adjust the wheel guard
so that sparks, dust and
cut material are deflected
away from the operator,
and cannot reach flam-
mable surroundings. See
section "Operating
Instructions" of your
instruction manual.
Warning!
Check that the spark plug boot is
securely mounted on the spark plug – a
loose boot may cause arcing that could
ignite combustible fumes and cause a
fire.
Warning!
Your cut-off machine is a one-person
tool. Do not allow other persons to be
near a running cut-off machine. Start
and operate your cut-off machine with-
out assistance. For specific starting
instructions, see the appropriate section
of your instruction manual.
