Transporting the Power Tool
Always stop the engine.
Carry the unit hanging from the shoulder
strap or properly balanced by the drive
tube.
To reduce the risk of cut injuries, fit
transport guard on a metal cutting
attachment, even when carrying the tool
for short distances.
Transporting by vehicle: Properly secure
your power tool to prevent turnover, fuel
spillage and damage.
Fueling
Always shut off the engine before
refueling.
Do not fuel a hot engine – fuel may spill
and cause a fire.
Open the fuel cap carefully to allow any
pressure build-up in the tank to release
slowly and avoid fuel spillage.
Fuel your power tool only in well-
ventilated areas. If you spill fuel, wipe
the machine immediately – if fuel gets on
your clothing, change immediately.
This reduces the risk of unit vibrations
causing the fuel cap to loosen or come
off and spill quantities of fuel.
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal
burn injuries, check for fuel leakage. If
fuel leakage is found, do not start or run
the engine until leak is fixed.
Before Starting
Check that your power tool is properly
assembled and in good condition – refer
to appropriate chapters in the instruction
manual.
–
Check the fuel system for leaks,
paying special attention to visible
parts such as the tank cap, hose
connections and the manual fuel
pump (on machines so equipped). If
there are any leaks or damage, do
not start the engine – risk of fire.
Have your machine repaired by a
servicing dealer before using it
again.
–
Use only an approved combination
of cutting attachment, deflector,
handle and harness. All parts must
be assembled properly and
securely.
–
The stop switch must move freely.
–
Check smooth action of choke
knob, throttle trigger lockout and
throttle trigger – the throttle trigger
must return automatically to the idle
position. The choke lever must
spring back from the
g
and
<
positions to the run position
F
when
the throttle trigger lockout and
throttle trigger are squeezed.
–
Check that the spark plug boot is
secure – a loose boot may cause
arcing that could ignite combustible
fumes and cause a fire.
–
Check cutting tool or attachment for
correct and secure assembly and
good condition.
–
Check protective devices (e.g.
deflector for cutting attachment,
rider plate) for damage or wear.
Always replace damaged parts. Do
not operate your machine with a
damaged deflector or worn rider
plate (lettering and arrows no longer
legible).
–
Never attempt to modify the controls
or safety devices in any way.
To reduce the risk of seri
-
ous burn injuries, avoid
touching hot parts of the
machine, including the
gearbox housing.
Gasoline is an extremely
flammable fuel. Keep
clear of naked flames. Do
not spill any fuel – do not
smoke.

After fueling, tighten
down the fuel tank cap as
securely as possible.
