94,3 dB (A) Measured sound power level L

109 dB (A) Measured according to EN ISO 3744, 2000/14/EG+ 2005/88/EG;

WARNING: The vibration emission level will vary because of the ways in which a power tool can be used and

may increase above the level given in this information sheet. The vibration emission level may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. An accurate estimate of the vibratory load shouldalso take into account the times when the tool isshut down or when it is running but not actually inuse. This may signicantly reduce the vibratoryload over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect theoperator from the eects of vibration such as:maintain the tool and the accessories, keep thehands warm, organisation of work patterns. Read and understand the operating instructions before using the appliance. Familiarise with the control elements and how to use the appliance properly.

bankments. The machine must never be used on a slope. Do not work with the unit in an environment with a risk of explosion where there are ammable liquids, gases or dust. The machine must never be used in deep pits, tunnels or caves (> 1.5 m). The work site must be free of electric cables as well as gas and water lines that could sustain damage from the vibrations. Not observing general regulations in force and instructions from this manual does not make the manufacturer liable for damages. The machine may only be used in a technically perfect condition and taking into account all safety information. The use of the machine is at the discretion of the operator; use at your own risk. Residual risks Even when the device is used properly and all safety regulations are complied with, there still may be some residual risks. Risk of re! Never operate the unit near highly ammable materials. Fuel is highly ammable. Keep the fuel in suitable containers only. The appliance may only be refuelled outdoors and not near open re or burning cigarettes. Refuel the engine only when switched o. Refuel before starting the appliance. If the engine is run

ning or still hot, it must not be refuelled or the tank cover opened. After use, let the unit cool down for at least 10 minutes before refuelling. Make sure the fuel does not overow. If the fuel overows, the engine must not be started. Remove any dirt from the appliance and prevent any at

tempt at ignition until fuel fumes have evaporated.. Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely. Fuel tank to be emptied outdoors only. Risk of poisoning! Exhaust gases, fuel and lubricants are toxic. Inhaling exhaust gases may be fatal! Do not operate the unit in closed spaces where dan

gerours carbon monoxide gases may accumulate. Risk of explosion!! Petrol and petrol vapours are highly ammable, explosive.

ENGLISH The motor does not start. Closed fuel tap Make sure the fuel tap and On/O are in the „ON“ position Lack of fuel Add some fuel Weak tension on the starter Pull strongly the starting cord. Wrong fuel, storing without petrol tank being drained Drain the fuel tank and carburettor, add fresh petrol Sooted spark plug (carbon residues on electrodes), electrodes distance too big Clean the spark plug, check the plug thermal value, possibly change the plug, set the electrodes distance to 0.6-0.7 mm The spark plug is wet from petrol (over

saturated engine). Dry the spark plug out and ret it. Little oil in the engine Add oil Unit is not in a horizontal position. Lack of oil being signalled Place the unit in a horizontal position Choke has not been used Use the choke Engine running irre

gularly Problem with ignition Make sure the spark plug is tted pro- perly. Make sure the spark plug cable is on the spark plug. Clean the spark plug and check the electrodes if correct. Wrong fuel (propellant) Make sure proper fuel has been used.31 FRANÇAIS
