11. Remove the socket wrench etc. All
keys or similar must be removed be-
fore the equipment is switched on.
12. Stay alert at all times. Pay attention
to what you are doing. Use your com-
mon sense. Do not use motorised
tools when you are tired. Work with
the equipment must not be carried out
under the influence of alcohol, drugs or
medications, which impair reactions.
13. Filling with fuel.
•
Always adhere to the current fire
regulations and the respective state/
federal regulations for fire prevention.
•
Fuel and fuel fumes are highly flamma-
ble. Do not fill with fuel when the en-
gine is running or still hot. When filling
up, ensure good ventilation. Smoking
and open flames are prohibited.
•
Always switch off the engine before
filling. Always open the filler cap with
care, so any excess pressure present
can be relieved slowly and no fuel
sprays out. The work with the equip-
ment causes high temperatures on
the housing. The equipment must
therefore be allowed to cool before
filling. Otherwise, the fuel could ignite
and cause serious injuries.
•
When filling with fuel, ensure that the
tank is not overfilled. If liquid misses,
this must be cleared away immedi-
ately and the equipment cleaned.
•
After filling, ensure that the seal screw
is sitting properly in order to prevent
it from coming loose as a result of the
vibrations caused during the work.
•
Watch out for leaks. Do not start the
engine if fuel is leaking. Risk of death
as a result of burns!
14. Usage duration and breaks. Pro-
longed use of the motorised equip-
ment can cause circulation disorders
in the hands as a result of the vibra-
tion. However, the usage duration can
be extended with suitable gloves or
regular breaks. Be aware that per-
sonal tendency to poor circulation,
low external temperatures and high
gripping forces will reduce the usage
duration when working.
15. Be aware of damaged parts. Before
initial operation and after severe im-
pacts, check the equipment for signs
of damage and wear. Are individual
parts damaged? In case of slight dam-
age ask seriously whether the tool will
nonetheless work properly and safely.
Ensure correct alignment and adjust-
ment of moving parts. Do the parts in-
terlock correctly? Are parts damaged?
Is everything correctly installed? Are
all the other requirements in place for
proper functioning? Damaged safety
devices etc must be repaired or re-
placed by authorised people if there is
no explanation otherwise in the oper-
ating instructions. Defective switches
must be replaced by an authorised
body. If repairs are required, please
contact a customer service centre au-
thorised by us.
16. Always switch off the engine before
undertaking adjustments or mainte-
nance work. This particularly applies
for work on the cutting head.
17. Use only authorised parts. In case
of maintenance and repair, use only
identical spare parts. Contact the
Grizzly service centre for spare parts.
Warning! The use of other mowing
heads as well as accessories and
attachments that are not explicitly
recommended can result in danger to
people and objects.
The tool is to be used only for the in-
