Disposal
Never dispose of residual chemicals or
contaminated rinsing solutions in
waterways, drains, sewers, street
gutters or manholes.
– Dispose of residual solution and
used containers in accordance with
local waste disposal regulations.
Transporting the Unit
Always stop the engine.
Transporting in a vehicle:
– Properly secure your power tool to
prevent turnover, fuel spillage and
damage.
– The container must be empty and
clean.
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.
Always remove the power tool from your
back and put it on the ground before
refueling. Fuel the unit only when it is
standing securely on the ground.
Open the bayonet-type fuel cap carefully
to allow any pressure build-up in the
tank to release slowly and avoid fuel
spillage.
SR 430, SR 450
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.
Check for leakage. To
reduce the risk of seri-
ous of fatal burn
injuries, do not start or
run the engine until leak
is fixed.
Bayonet fuel cap
Never use a tool to open or close the
bayonet-type fuel cap. This may
damage the cap and cause fuel leakage.
Close the bayonet-type fuel cap
carefully after refueling.
Before starting
Check that your power tool is properly
assembled and in good condition,
especially if it has been subjected to
unusually high loads for which it was not
designed (e.g. heavy impact or a fall).
– The setting lever must move easily
to STOP or 0
– Throttle trigger must move freely
and spring back to the idle position
when released.
– Check that the spark plug boot is
secure – a loose boot may cause
arcing that could ignite combustible
fumes and cause a fire.
– Check the fuel system for leaks.
– Check condition and tightness of
container, hose and metering unit.
– Check condition of harness straps
and replace damaged or worn
straps.
To reduce the risk of accidents and
personal injury, do not operate your
power tool if it is not properly assembled
and in good condition.
For emergencies: Practise removing
and putting down the machine as you
would in an emergency. To avoid
damage, do not throw the machine to
the ground when practising.
Starting the engine
Start the engine at least 3 meters from
the fueling spot, outdoors only.
Your power tool is designed to be
operated by one person only. Do not
allow other persons in the work area –
even when starting.
Start the engine as described in the
instruction manual.
Place the unit on level ground, make
sure you have secure footing, hold the
unit securely.
If an assistant is required to put the
power tool on your back, make sure that
