Transporting the Power Tool
Always stop the engine.
Carry the unit hanging from the shoulder
strap or properly balanced by the drive
tube. Fit transport guard on metal cutting
attachments to avoid the risk of injury
from blade contact
To reduce the risk of seri -
ous burn injuries, avoid
touching hot parts of the
machine, including the
gearbox housing.
Transporting in a vehicle: Properly
secure your power tool to prevent
turnover, fuel spillage and damage.
Fueling
Gasoline is an extremely
flammable fuel. Keep
clear of naked flames. Do
not spill any fuel – do not
smoke.
Always shut off the engine before
refueling.
Do not fuel a hot engine – fuel may spill
and cause a fire.
4
Open the fuel cap carefully to allow any
pressure build-up in the tank to release
slowly and avoid fuel spillage.
Fuel your power tool only in well-
ventilated areas. If you spill fuel, wipe
the machine immediately – if fuel gets on
your clothing, change immediately.
Your power tool comes standard with
either a screw-type or bayonet-type fuel
cap.
After fueling, tighten
down the screw-type fuel
cap as securely as
possible.
After fueling, insert the
fuel cap with hinged grip
(bayonet-type cap) cor -
rectly in the opening, turn
it clockwise as far as stop
and fold the grip down.
This reduces the risk of unit vibrations
causing the fuel cap to loosen or come
off and spill quantities of fuel.
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal
burn injuries, check for fuel leakage. If
fuel leakage is found, do not start or run
the engine until leak is fixed.
Before Starting
Check that your power tool is properly
assembled and in good condition – refer
to appropriate chapters in the instruction
manual.
Use only an approved combination
–
of cutting attachment, deflector,
handle and harness. All parts must
be assembled properly and
securely.
The stop switch must move freely.
–
Smooth action of choke lever,
–
throttle trigger lockout and throttle
trigger – the throttle trigger must
return automatically to the idle
position. The choke lever must
spring back from the g and <
positions to the run position F when
the throttle trigger lockout and
throttle trigger are squeezed.
Check that the spark plug boot is
–
secure – a loose boot may cause
arcing that could ignite combustible
fumes and cause a fire.
Cutting tool or attachment: Check
–
for correct and secure assembly
and good condition.
Check protective devices (e.g.
–
deflector for cutting attachment,
rider plate) for damage or wear.
Always replace damaged parts. Do
not operate your machine with a
damaged deflector or worn rider
plate (lettering and arrows no longer
legible).
Never attempt to modify the controls
–
or safety devices in any way.
