• Always switch off the engine before filling. Always open the filler cap with care, so any excess
pressure present can be relieved slowly and no fuel sprays out. The work with the equipment
causes high temperatures on the housing. The equipment must therefore be allowed to cool
before filling. Otherwise, the fuel could ignite and cause serious injuries.
• When filling with fuel, ensure that the tank is not overfilled. If liquid misses, this must be
cleared away immediately and the equipment cleaned.
• After filling, ensure that the seal screw is sitting properly in order to prevent it from coming
loose as a result of the vibrations caused during the work.
• Watch out for leaks. Do not start the engine if fuel is leaking. Risk of death as a result
of burns!
14. Usage duration and breaks. Prolonged use of the motorised equipment can cause circulation
disorders in the hands as a result of the vibration. However, the usage duration can be
extended with suitable gloves or regular breaks. Be aware that personal tendency to poor
circulation, low external temperatures and high gripping forces will reduce the usage duration
when working.
15. Be aware of damaged parts. Before initial operation and after severe impacts, check the
equipment for signs of damage and wear. Are individual parts damaged? In case of slight
damage ask seriously whether the tool will nonetheless work properly and safely. Ensure
correct alignment and adjustment of moving parts. Do the parts interlock correctly? Are parts
damaged? Is everything correctly installed? Are all the other requirements in place for proper
functioning? Damaged safety devices etc must be repaired or replaced by authorised people if
there is no explanation otherwise in the operating instructions. Defective switches must be
replaced by an authorized body. If repairs are required, please contact a customer service
centre authorized by us.
16. Always switch off the engine before undertaking adjustments or maintenance work. This
particularly applies for work on the cutting head.
17. Use only authorised parts. In case of maintenance and repair, use only identical spare parts.
Contact the service centre for spare parts.
