To return the cap to the open
position for installation, turn the cap
(with the grip up) until it drops fully
into the tank opening. Next, twist the
cap counterclockwise as far as it will
go (approx. 1/4 turn) – this will twist
the base of the cap into the correct
position. Then, twist the cap
clockwise, closing it normally.

If your cap still does not tighten
properly, it may be damaged or
broken; immediately stop use of the

Before Starting
Before starting work, open up the bike
handle and lock it in position with the
rotary knob. See chapter on "Adjusting
the Bike Handle."
Inspect for loose parts (nuts, screws,
etc.) and for cracked, bent, warped or
damaged working tools.
Keep the handles clean and dry at all
times; it is particularly important to keep
them free of moisture, pitch, oil, fuel mix,
grease or resin in order for you to
maintain a firm grip and properly control
your power tool.
On metal tools (top illustration), position
the gearbox so that the shaft is below
the drive tube.

Warning!
Always check your power tool for proper
condition and operation before starting,
particularly the throttle trigger, starting
throttle lock, slide control / stop switch,
working tool and deflector. The throttle
trigger must move freely and always
spring back to the idle position. Never
attempt to modify the controls or safety
devices.
Warning!
Never operate your power tool if it is
damaged, improperly adjusted or main
-
tained, or not completely or securely
assembled.
Warning!
Check that the spark plug boot is
securely mounted on the spark plug – a
loose boot may cause arcing that could
ignite combustible fumes and cause a
fire.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury from a
MultiTool rotating in the wrong direction,
check that the position of the gearbox is
correct and change it if necessary.
