Safety instructions
DANGER
ƔOnly those who understand these operating instruc-
tions may run the engine.
ƔDo not operate this appliance in areas where there is
a risk of explosion.
ƔWhen using the device in hazard zones (e.g. service
stations), adhere to the respective safety regulations.
ƔExplosion hazard due to unsuitable fuel. Only fill the
fuel specified in the operating instructions.
ƔDo not operate the device if fuel has been spilled. In
such a case, move the device to another location and
avoid any sparking.
ƔOnly keep the fuel in permitted containers.
ƔDo not store fuel in the proximity of naked flames or
devices such as ovens, heating boilers, water heat-
ers, etc. that have a pilot light or may generate
sparks. Do not use or spill fuel in the above environ-
ment.
ƔDo not smoke or use open fire during refueling or in
fuel storage areas.
ƔDo not overfill the tank. Do not exceed the maximum
fuel level mark in the tank inlet.
ƔOnly allow refueling in a well-ventilated space and
when the engine is off. The fuel is extremely flamma-
ble and explosive under certain conditions. Ensure
that close the fuel tank lid when refueling is complete.
ƔIn case of repeated or prolonged contact with the fuel
and the housing, avoid inhaling fuel.
ƔCool the warm engine for 2 minutes before refueling.
ƔCool the engine down before store in a confined
space.
ƔKeep easily flammable objects at least 2 m away from
the muffler.
ƔDo not operate the device without a muffler. Check
the muffler regularly and clean or replace it if neces-
sary.
ƔDo not operate the device in forests, bushy or grassy
areas if the exhaust pipe is not equipped with a spark
catcher.
ƔDo not run the motor with the air filter removed or
without a cover over the intake opening.
ƔDo not adjust any control springs, governor control
linkage or other parts that could increase the speed of
the motor.
ƔDo not touch any hot parts such as the muffler, cylin-
der or cooling fins.
ƔNever bring your hands and feet close to rotating
parts.
ƔDo not touch the ignition cable or the spark plug while
the engine is running.
WARNING
ƔChildren and minors must not use the device.
ƔChildren must be supervised to prevent them from
playing with the appliance.
ƔExhaust gases are toxic. Never breathe in the ex-
haust gases. Ensure rooms where the device is oper-
ated are sufficiently ventilated and that exhaust gases
can be conducted away.
ƔDo not run the engine if the fuel system is damaged
or leaking. Regularly inspect the fuel system and re-
place damaged parts.
ƔThese safety tips in the instructions do not cover all
situations of use. As a rule, ensure you observe all
safety instructions during maintenance and opera-
tion.
CAUTION
ƔTo avoid fire hazard or damage to the engine, the
cooling fins and starter rope must be free of grass or
other dirt.
ATTENTION
ƔUse only original parts from the engine manufacturer.
Parts from other sources can damage the engine and
shorten its service life.
ƔTo avoid damaging the starter, do not pull the starter
rope while the engine is running.
ƔOnly use fresh fuel. Old fuel can cause residue in the
carburettor and affect the engine's performance.
