2.9 Working with the machine
While running, the engine produces toxic exhaust gas which is odourless and invisible. Never start or
operate the machine in closed rooms. Ensure for adequate ventilation in confined areas such as
ditches or dips. Remain within calling distance to other persons who would be able to provide assistance if
needed. Provide for regular and in-time rest periods.
Do not smoke in the vicinity of the machine or at the work site. Smoking increases the danger of fire!
Operate the machine with as little noise and exhaust gas emission as possible - only run the engine
when necessary. Consider that noise is an environmental hazard. Respect and observe any quiet
periods which may vary locally.
Do not touch the muffler and exhaust while still hot. Danger of burns!
Never operate the machine without a muffler or with a damaged muffler. Danger of burns and loss of
hearing!
The machine should be stopped when not in use and secured to prevent danger of injury to others.
2.10 Irregularities, incidents, accidents
In case of irregularities, leaks, visible damage or reduced efficiency, do not commence work, but leave
the unit from a dealer check.
When irregularity, leaks or malfunctions occur during operation, turn off the stop switch immediately
and put the machine on the ground immediately. The device may only be used again if it is checked by
a specialist workshop and the cause of the fault has been eradicated.
In case of serious disturbances or accidents during operation of the unit as smoke, strong odors from
