• Always comply with all applicable domestic and
international safety, health, and working regula-
tions.
Risks caused by vibrations
CAUTION! Risk of injury due to vibra-
tions! Vibrations may, in particular for per-
sons with circulation problems, cause dam-
age to blood vessels and/or nerves.
If you notice any of the following symp-
toms, stop working immediately and con-
sult a doctor. Numbness of body parts, loss
of sense of feeling, itching, pins and nee-
dles, pain, changes in skin colour.
The vibration values specified in the technical data
represent the main uses of the device. The actual
existing vibrations during use may deviate from
these as a result of the following factors:
• Incorrect use of the product;
• Unsuitable tools inserted;
• Unsuitable material;
• Insufficient maintenance.
You can reduce the risks considerably by following
the tips below:
– Maintain the device in accordance with the
instructions in the operating instructions.
– Avoid working at low temperatures.
– When it is cold, make sure your body and your
hands, in particular, are kept warm.
– Take regular breaks and move your hands at the
same time to promote circulation.
Concerning the use of fuels
Fuels are inflammable and explosive. Reduce the
risk of explosion and fire as follows:
• Turn off and cool the motor down before filling
the tank with fuel.
• Refrain from smoking and starting open fires
when handling fuels.
• Store and mix fuels in approved and corre-
spondingly labelled canisters.
• Store fuels in closed containers. Keep in mind
that fuels may also evaporate at room tempera-
ture and collect on the floor of closed rooms (risk
of explosion).
• Do not open the tank lid or refill with petrol when
the motor is running or even when it is hot.
• If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the
motor.
• Start the machine at least nine metres away from
the fuelling location.
• If you need to empty the tank, do so out in the
open.
Fuels are toxic! They contain substances that
have an immediate toxic effect and may also
cause permanent damage to your health. Take all
precautionary measures to prevent your body
from absorbing any of these substances:
• Tank and siphon fuels only outdoors or in well-
ventilated rooms.
• Do not inhale fuel fumes.
• Avoid contact with eyes and skin. If contact
occurs, thoroughly rinse with water. If contact
with eyes occurs, seek immediate medical atten-
tion.
• Wear gloves when transferring fuel.
• When fuel has come into contact with your
clothes, change them immediately. Clean your
clothes before putting them back on.
• Store fuels out of the reach of children.
When handled inappropriately, fuels may cause
damage to the environment:
• Use caution when siphoning fuels. Fuel must
never seep into the ground or the sewage sys-
tem.
• Dispose of any remaining fuel in an appropriate
manner. Never dispose of fuel with regular
household waste.
• Fuels may be stored only for a limited time.
Never buy more fuel than you plan on consuming
within the next few months.
Maintenance
• Before conducting any maintenance on the
device, always set the ignition switch to [0] and
pull the ignition cable plug.
• Check the fuel system regularly for leaks or
defective parts.
• Only those maintenance and fault elimination
tasks described here may be carried out. Any
other tasks must be completed by a specialist.
• Only use original replacement parts. Only these
replacement parts are designed and suitable for
the device. Other replacement parts will not only
lead to an invalidation of the warranty, they may
also endanger you and your environment.
Device-specific safety instructions
• The environment must be free of easily flamma-
ble and explosive materials.
• If the machine is not in use, always attach the
knife transport guard.
• No other people or animals should be within 15
m of the area being trimmed, as they may
become injured by flung objects.
• Always hold the machine with both hands and
use the shoulder strap.
• When working with the machine, always ensure
a secure posture! Make sure you cannot slip or
fall over. Do not work above hip height. Never
work while standing on a ladder. Never climb on
trees when working with a petrol-driven rotary
trimmer. Do not lean forward or backward!
• While the motor is still hot, keep the machine
away from anything flammable, e. g. dry grass,
PVC.
• Before laying down the machine, make sure the
motor is turned off! When the motor is switched
off, the ignition switch must be turned off.
• Never work alone! Make sure you are within
shouting distance or have visual or other contact
with another person who will be able to provide
first aid in an emergency situation.
• Do not leave any tools, objects or cables within
the work area of the machine.
