Safety regulations
ENGLISH 5
1.5 Preparing the equipment for starting
Check the complete machine for operational safety.
 The stop switch should function properly.
 The throttle must have freedom of movement and return to the idle position on its own accord.
 The cutters and contact protection must be tightly secured and in perfect condition.
 Ensure the spark plug cap and the ignition cable are connected firmly. A loose connection may cause
a spark, which can ignite any existing fuel:air mixture - fire hazard!
Should the check reveal any irregularities or recognisable damage (also to the frame), incorrect
adjustments or reduced efficiency of the machine, do not commence work. Take the power tool to a
specialised workshop and have it checked.
1.6 Starting
 Start the machine no less than 3 metres from the refuelling location. Never start the machine in an
enclosed space.
 Ensure that you are standing firmly on the ground when starting. Always start on even ground, with a
firm grip on the power tool.
 Only one person at the time may operate this power tool - no other people should be within a radius of
15 m - even when starting.
 Continue with the starting procedure as described in section 6. "Starting/Stopping the engine".
1.7 Maintenance and repairs
Regularly service this machine. Only carry out those maintenance jobs and repairs, which are described in
this manual. A specialised service centre will carry our all other jobs.
 Do not maintain, repair or store the machine near an open flame.
 Before cleaning, maintenance and repair work, always stop the engine first and pull the spark plug
cap. Exceptions: carburettor and idle adjustments.
 For any repairs only use original parts from the manufacturer.
 Do not modify, alter or change the machine as this may impact on the safe operation of the machine
and may lead to accidents and injuries!
