• The engine must be cooled before fuel is poured in.
• Never refuel the machine indoors.
• Never store the machine or the fuel tank near open flames or potential ignition sources.
• Never fill the fuel tank inside a vehicle, on a truck or a trailer with cover.
• Always fill up the tank on solid ground at a safe distance from the vehicle.
• Should fuel be sprayed on your clothes, take off the clothes immediately.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank.
• Close the fuel tank carefully.
• If the fuel tank must be drained, this should be done outdoors
• Never transport the saw while the engine is running.
• Never refuel the machine in confined spaces.
• Before turning on the engine you need to clean the tank and the machine from gasoline residues.
• Heated gas expands. Do not fill the fuel tank to the edge, but leave a little space so that hot gas can expand.
• The fuel cap has a ventilation slot for the discharge of gasoline vapours.
• Always use an original gas cap.
• Failure to observe the gasoline safety can cause fires and explosions; they can cause serious injuries as well as damage the
equipment and property of others.
• The filling of fuel into a running or hot engine can cause an explosion.
• Before refuelling, always switch off the engine and let it cool for a few minutes.
• Remove wood shavings and other debris from the machine. Keep the machine clean, so you can increase its performance.
• Engine, transmission and muffler will be very hot when the engine running in a matter of minutes. In any case touch these equip-

• Remember, exhaust vapours are dangerous. Never turn on the machine in a confined space.
• Dispose of used engine oil in accordance with the customary rules.
• Turn off the engine immediately if you notice unusual noises or vibrations.
• Unusual noises or vibrations are usually warnings of major problems.
