to it.
Never store the equipment with fuel
in the tank inside a building where fu-
mes may reach a flame or a spark or a
source of extreme heat.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing in an
enclosed space.
• To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine,
exhaust silencer, battery compartment and fuel
storage area free of grass, leaves, or excessive
grease.
• To reduce the risk of fire, regularly check the

CAUTION! – Battery acid is corrosive.
In the event of mechanical damage or
overcharging, acid may leak out. Avoid
inhalation or contact with any part of
the body.
Inhaled acid fumes are harmful to mu-
cous membranes and other internal
organs. Seek medical attention imme-
diately.
CAUTION! – Do not overcharge the bat-
tery. Excessive charging may cause the
battery to explode with subsequent
acid leaks.
CAUTION! – Acid can seriously damage
tools, clothing and other materials. Rin-
se away spilled acid immediately with
water.
Do not short circuit the battery termi-
nals. Sparks occur which can result in
fire.

damaged parts or any other element which may
have an impact on the environment; this waste
should not be disposed of along with standard
household waste, but must be disposed of
separately and sent to special waste disposal
facilities for handling and recycling.
• Adhere strictly to local regulations governing the
disposal of cuttings.
• When the machine is withdrawn from service,
do not dump it in the environment, but take it to
a waste disposal facility in accordance with the
