CAUTION
Hearing damage
A longer stay in the immediate vicinity of the running
unit may cause hearing damage. Wear ear protectors!
When working with the device, a certain level of noise
cannot be avoided. Noisy work should be scheduled for
hours, during which it is allowed by statute or other local
regulations. Adhere to any applicable rest times and limit
your working time to the necessary minimum time. For
your personal protection and the protection of people
nearby, suitable hearing protection must be worn.
Noise emission information in accordance with the
German Product Safety Act (ProdSG) and the EC Machine
Directive: the noise pressure level at the place of work can
exceed 80 dB(A). In such cases the operator will require
noise protection (e.g. wearing of ear protectors).
Please do also consider any local regulations concerning
noise protection!
the engine must not be started. Remove any dirt from the
appliance and prevent any attempt at ignition until fuel
fumes have evaporated.
Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely.
Start the device at least three meters away from the place
where you fuelled it. Do not smoke during fuelling or ope-
ration and take care that no sparks or open flames reach
into the working area.
Fuel tank to be emptied outdoors only.
To keep the danger of fire as low as possible the engine
and exhaust pipe must be free from grass, leaves and
excess grease.
Replace the exhaust pipe and (if necessary) the spark pro-
tector if these are not in proper working order any more.
To reduce fire risks, periodically clean the cylinder flaps
with compressed air and clear the silencer area to get rid
of sawdust, branches, leaves or other debris.
Regularly remove any remainders of grass and weed to
avoid an overheating of the shaft tube. Remainders of
grass and weeds get caught under the protection cover
avoiding a sufficient cooling of the shaft tube. Remove the
remainders carefully with a screwdriver or a similar tool.
