GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Important

The machine is only designed for cutting branches and twigs.
Never use a machine that has been modified in any way from its original specification.
Never use the machine if you are tired, if you have drunk alcohol, or if you are taking medication
that could affect your vision, your judgement or your co-ordination.

2.If you have spilled fuel on yourself or your clothes, change your clothes. Wash any part of your
body that has come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water.

3.If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines.

Transport and storage

●Store and transport the machine and fuel so that there is no risk of any leakage or fumes coming
into contact with sparks or naked flames, for example, from electrical machinery, electric motors,
electrical relays/switches or boilers.

●When storing and transporting fuel always use approved containers intended for this purpose.

●When storing the machine for long periods the fuel tank must be emptied. Contact your local gas

station to find out where to dispose of excess fuel.

●Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete service is carried out before long-term storage.

●The transport guard must always be fitted to the cutting attachment when the machine is being

transported or in storage.

●Secure the machine during transport.
In order to prevent unintentional starting of the engine, the spark plug cap must always be removed
during long-term storage, if the machine is not under close supervision and when performing all
service measures.

WARNING! Take care when handling fuel. Bear in mind the risk of fire, explosion and inhaling

fumes.

Fuel

CAUTION! The machine is equipped with a two-stroke engine and must always been run using a
mixture of gasoline and two-stroke engine oil. It is important to accurately measure the amount of
oil to be mixed to ensure that the correct mixture is obtained. When mixing small amounts of fuel,
even small inaccuracies can drastically affect the ratio of the mixture.

WARNING! Fuel and fuel fumes are highly inflammable and can cause serious injury when

inhaled or allowed to come in contact with the skin. For this reason observe caution when handling
fuel and make sure there is adequate ventilation.

Gasoline

CAUTION! Always use a quality gasoline/oil mixture with an octane rating of at least 91 octane
((RON+MON)/2). If your machine is equipped with a catalytic converter (see chapter on Technical
data) always use a good quality unleaded gasoline/oil mixture. Leaded gasoline will destroy the
catalytic converter.

12

Mixing

●Always mix the gasoline and oil in a clean container intended for fuel.

●Always start by filling half the amount of the gasoline to be used. Then add the entire amount of oil.

Mix (shake) the fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of gasoline.

●Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before filling the machine’s fuel tank.
Do not mix more than one month’s supply of fuel at a time.
If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank should be emptied and cleaned.

WARNING! The catalytic converter muffler gets very hot during and after use. This also applies

during idling. Be aware of the fire hazard, especially when working near flammable substances
and/or vapours.

Fueling

WARNING! Taking the following precautions, will lessen the risk of fire:

1.Do not smoke or place hot objects near fuel.

2.Always shut off the engine before refuelling.

3.Always stop the engine and let it cool for a few minutes before refuelling.

4.When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly so that any excess pressure is released gently.

5.Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refuelling.

6.Always move the machine away from the refuelling area before starting.

●Clean the area around the fuel cap. Contamination in the tank can cause operating problems.

●Ensure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container before filling the tank.

13

ST AR TING AND STOPPING

Check before starting

●Inspect the working area. Remove any objects that could be thrown out.

●Check the cutting attachment. Never use blades that are dull, cracked or damaged.

●Check that the machine is in perfect working order. Check that all nuts and screws are tight.

Starting and stopping

WARNING! The complete clutch cover and shaft must be fitted before the machine is started,

otherwise the clutch can come loose and cause personal injury.

WARNING! Always move the machine about 3 metres from the refuelling position before

starting. Place the machine on a firm surface. Remember that the blades may start to move when the
engine is started. Make sure the blades cannot come into contact with any object. Make sure that no
unauthorised persons are in the working area, otherwise there is a risk of serious personal injury.

WARNING! The safety distance is 15 metres.

their property.

Safety instructions while working

●Always ensure you have a safe and stable working position.

●Always use both hands to hold the machine. Hold the machine at the side of your body.

●Use your right hand to control the throttle setting.

●Make sure that your hands and feet do not come near the cutting attachment when the engine is

running.

●When the engine is switched off, keep your hands and feet away from the cutting attachment until
it has stopped completely.

●Watch out for stumps of branches that can be thrown out during cutting.

●Always lay the machine on the ground when you are not using it.

●Do not cut too close to the ground. Stones and other objects can be thrown out.

●Check the working area for foreign objects such as electricity cables, insects and animals, etc, or

other objects that could damage the cutting attachment, such as metal items.

●If any foreign object is hit or if vibrations occur stop the machine immediately. Disconnect the
connection between the ignition coil and spark plug from the spark plug. Check that the machine is
not damaged. Repair any damage.

●If anything jams in the blades while you are working, switch off the engine and wait until it has
stopped completely before cleaning the blades. Disconnect the connection between the ignition coil
and spark plug from the spark plug.

●Never put the machine down with the engine running unless you have it in clear sight.

●This machine is not electrically insulated. If the machine touches or comes close to high-voltage

power lines it could lead to death or serious bodily injury. Electricity can jump from one point to
another by arcing. The higher the voltage, the greater the distance electricity can jump. Electricity can
also travel through branches and other objects, especially if they are wet. Always keep a distance of at
least 10 m between the machine and high-voltage power lines and/or any objects that are touching
them. If have to work within this safe distance you should always contact the relevant power company
to make sure the power is switched off before you start work.
