Safety provisions
ENGLISH
8
Petrol is highly flammable. Keep distance from open fire and do not spill fuel. Do not smoke at the
workplace or at the site of fuelling!
•
Always switch off the engine before fuelling.
•
Danger of fire! Never refuel with the engine still hot!
•
Always carefully open the tank cap so that any overpressure present can reduce slowly and no fuel will
splash out.
•
Prevent skin and eye contact with mineral oil products. In case of eye contact, rinse at once with lots of
clear water. In case of persistent irritation, see a doctor immediately!
•
Regularly change and clean protective clothes.
•
Avoid breathing in fuel vapour.
•
The refuelling site should be well ventilated.
•
Avoid any soil spillage of fuel or oil (protection of the environment). Use a suitable mat.
•
Immediately clean any spilled fuel on the machine. Change contaminated clothing without delay.
•
Always tighten the fuel tank cap firmly by hand without using any tools. Tank caps are equipped with an
overturning protection and must be turned closed until a clear "skipping".
The fuel tank cap must not be able to work itself loose as a result of the vibrations of the engine.
•
Danger to life from burns! Observe leaks. Do not start up and work when fuel is escaping.
•
Fuels and oil must only be stored in properly and correctly labelled containers.
•
Before carrying the power tool (even across short distances from one working area to the next), always
switch off the engine and wait until the cutting disc has stopped. Carry the power tool by the top handle
and have the cutting disc point backwards.
•
Danger of burns! Do not touch the hot muffler.
•
Never carry or transport the power tool with the cutting disc running.
•
To avoid spilling of fuel and oil and to prevent damage, the power tool must be secured against tipping
when transporting it in vehicles. Check the tanks for fuel and oil for tightness.
Recommendation: Empty the tanks before transport.
•
Empty the tanks before shipping.
Advice: Keep the original packaging in order to protect the equipment against transport damage in case
you ever need to ship it or transport it.
