and always before eating, drinking, using
tobacco products, or making contact with other
persons.
►Comply with all applicable laws and regulations,
including occupational health and safety
regulations.
►Participate in air monitoring, medical
examination programs, and health and safety
training programs provided by your employer or
trade organizations and in accordance with
occupational health and safety regulations and
recommendations. Consult with physicians
experienced in relevant occupational medicine.
►Work with your employer and trade organization
to reduce dust and fume exposure at the
worksite and to reduce the risks. Effective
health and safety programs, policies and
procedures for protecting workers and others
against harmful exposure to dust and fumes
must be established and implemented based on
advice from health and safety experts. Consult
with experts.
DANGER Exhaust gas hazard
The exhaust gas from the machine’s combustion
engine contains carbon monoxide which is
poisonous, and chemicals known to the State of
California and other authorities to cause cancer,
birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
Inhalation of exhaust fumes can cause serious
injury, illness, or death.
►Never inhale exhaust fumes.
►Ensure good ventilation (extraction of air by fan
if necessary).

►In case of persistent or recurring symptoms,
consult a qualified health professional.
WARNING Vibration hazards
Normal and proper use of the machine exposes
the operator to vibration. Regular and frequent
exposure to vibration may cause, contribute to, or
aggravate injury or disorders to the operator’s
fingers, hands, wrists, arms, shoulders and/or
nerves and blood supply or other body parts,
including debilitating and/or permanent injuries or
disorders that may develop gradually over periods
of weeks, months, or years. Such injuries or
disorders may include damage to the blood
circulatory system, damage to the nervous system,
damage to joints, and possibly damage to other
body structures.
If numbness, persistent recurring discomfort,
burning sensation, stiffness, throbbing, tingling,
pain, clumsiness, weakened grip, whitening of the
skin, or other symptoms occur at any time, when
operating the machine or when not operating the
machine, stop operating the machine, tell your
employer and seek medical attention. Continued
use of the machine after the occurrence of any
such symptom may increase the risk of symptoms
becoming more severe and/or permanent.
Operate and maintain the machine as
recommended in these instructions, to prevent an
unnecessary increase in vibration.
The following may help to reduce exposure to
vibration for the operator:
►If the machine has vibration absorbing handles,
keep them in a central position, avoid pressing
the handles into the end stops.
►When the percussion mechanism is activated,
the only body contact with the machine you

Installation
Fuel
Filling
WARNING Fuel hazard
The fuel is extremely flammable and fuel fumes
can explode when ignited, causing serious injury or
death.
►Protect your skin from contact with the fuel.
►Never remove the filler cap or fill the fuel tank
when the machine is hot.
►Never smoke when filling the fuel tank or when
working with the machine or servicing it.
►Avoid spilling fuel and wipe off any fuel spilled
on the machine.
Filling procedure
1. Stop the engine and let it cool down before
filling the tank.
2. Release the filler cap slowly to let any pressure
escape.
3. Fill the fuel tank to the lower edge of the filler
pipe.
4. Never overfill the tank. Due to the movement of
the fuel within the tank, it is possible to have
fuel at a higher level than the tank cap, which
can lead to a spillage of fuel if the tank cap is
opened. This can be avoided by only opening
the tank cap when the machine is on level
ground and the tank cap is at the fuel tank's
highest point.
Operation
WARNING Engine running hazard
Vibrations from the engine can cause material
changes, this can cause the machine to move and
cause injuries.
►Never leave the machine with the engine
running.
►Ensure that only authorized personnel operate
the machine.
NOTICE When operating the machine, follow the
instructions in the manual; never sit or stand on the
machine when it is working.

Operating on slopes
WARNING Slope hazards
During operation, secure the machine so it can not
fall if it is placed on a sloping ground. A fall can
lead to severe accidents and result in personal
injury.
►Always ensure that all personnel in the working
area are higher up the slope than the machine.
►Always operate the machine straight up and
down when placed on slopes.
►Never exceed the maximum recommended
slope angle when operating the machine.
Follow the recommendations.
NOTICE Remember that loose ground, vibration
switched ON, and driving speed can all cause the
machine to tip over even on a lesser slope than
specified here.
Operating on slopes
1. Ensure that the work area is secure. Wet and
loose earth reduces manoeuvrability especially
on sloping ground. Always exercise extreme
caution on sloping and uneven terrain.
◆Never work on slopes that exceed the
capabilities of the machine. The maximum
slope of the machine in operation is 20°
(depending on the condition of the ground).
20°
◆The tilting angle is measured on a hard level
surface with the machine stationary. Vibration
switched OFF and all tanks full.
