lashing straps or a net to prevent it
turning over and moving. Allow the
power tool to cool down before
transporting it by vehicle. Position the
power tool so that no fuel can escape.
See also notes on "Transporting the
Power Tool" in the instruction manual of
the MultiTool you are using.
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.
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.
After fueling, tighten
down the screw-type fuel
cap as securely as
possible.
This reduces the risk of unit vibrations
causing the fuel cap to loosen or come
off and spill quantities of fuel.

Check for leakage. To
reduce the risk of serious
of fatal burn injuries, 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
manuals.
Check the fuel system for leaks,
–
paying special attention to visible
parts such as the tank cap, hose
connections and the manual fuel
pump (on machines so equipped). If
there are any leaks or damage, do
not start the engine – risk of fire.
Have your machine repaired by a
servicing dealer before using it
again.
Use only an approved combination
–
of attachment and deflector. All
parts must be assembled properly
and securely.
The stop switch must move freely.
–
Smooth action of throttle trigger
–
lockout and throttle trigger – the
throttle trigger must return
automatically to the idle position.
Check that the spark plug boot is
–
secure – a loose boot may cause
arcing that could ignite combustible
fumes and cause a fire.
Never attempt to modify the controls
–
or the safety devices in any way.
Keep the handles dry and clean –
–
free from oil and dirt – for safe
control of the power tool.
Swing the bicycle handle to the
–
normal operating position and
tighten it down firmly with the rotary
knob. See "Adjusting the
Handlebar".
To reduce the risk of accidents, operate
your power tool only if it is in a safe
condition.
See also notes on "Before Starting" in
the instruction manual of the MultiTool
you are using.
Check the position of the gearbox for the
MultiTool you have mounted and correct
it if necessary. This helps reduce the risk
of injury from the MultiTool rotating in the
wrong direction.
See "Mounting the MultiTool" in the
instruction manual of the MultiTool you
are using.
If you use metal tools, position the
gearbox so that the axle is below the
drive shaft.
