Instruction manual
dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect. Exhaust
fumes are dangerous.
WARNING! Exhaust contains
poisonous carbon monoxide, a
colourless and odourless gas.
Breathing exhaust can cause loss of
consciousness and may lead to death.
Provide an adequate ventilation to
keep exhaust gas level as low as
possible.
∙ Never store the equipment with fuel in the tank
inside a building where fumes can reach an open flame
or spark.
∙ To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer,
battery compartment and petrol storage area free of
vegetative material and excessive grease.
∙ The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite
some materials. Keep flammable materials away from
the device.
∙ The muffler becomes very hot during operation and
remains hot for a while after stopping the engine. Be
careful not to touch the muffler while it is hot. Let the
engine cool before storing the machine indoors.
∙ Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before starting
the machine.
WARNING! During the use of certain
gasoline tools, some dust containing
chemicals known to cause cancer,
may occur.
Some of these chemicals are: lead from lead based
paints, crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, arsenic and chromium from
chemically treated lumber and other dangerous
products. If dust is present, your risk from these
exposures varies, depending on how often you do this
type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, any
time you do pulverulent operations, work in a well
ventilated area and work with approved safety
equipment, such as dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
∙
If the machine strikes a foreign body, examine the
device for signs of damage and carry out any necessary
repairs before restarting and continuing to work.
∙
If the machine starts to vibrate abnormally, switch
off the motor and check for the cause immediately.
Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
∙ Always turn off the machine and wait until the
machine completely stops whenever you leave

before changing accessories, checking, cleaning,
troubleshooting or working on the machine.
∙ It is forbidden to move or modify any of the internal
parts of the machine.
