Safe handling of fuel

- Petrol is very flammable and its gases can explode if they ignite.

• Take safety measures when handling petrol to reduce the risk of serious injury.

- Use a suitable petrol can when filling or draining the tank.

- Carry out this work in clean, well-ventilated outdoor areas.

- Do not smoke. Do not allow sparks, naked flames or other sources of fire to get near when filling up with petrol or working with the machine.

- Never fill the tank indoors. Keep earthed, electrically conductive objects, such as tools, away from exposed electrical parts and wires to avoid sparking or arcing. This could ignite petrol gases.

- Always switch off the engine and let it cool down before refilling the fuel tank. Never remove the fuel filler cap or fill fuel into the tank while the engine is running or while the engine is hot.

- Do not use the machine if you know there is a leak in the fuel system. Slowly loosen the fuel filler cap to release any pressure in the tank. Never overfill the tank (petrol should never be above the marked maximum fill level). Close the fuel tank securely again with the fuel filler cap and wipe up any spilled petrol.

• Do not use the machine if the fuel filler cap is not screwed tightly shut. Avoid ignition sources near spilled petrol. If petrol has been spilled, do not attempt to start the machine.
  Move the machine away from the area of the spillage and prevent the formation of ignition sources until the petrol gases have dissipated.
• Store fuel only in containers specially manufactured for this purpose.
• Store petrol in a cool, well-ventilated area away from sparks and naked flames or other sources of ignition. Never store petrol or the machine with a filled tank in a building where petrol gases could reach sparks, naked flames or other ignition sources such as water heaters, ovens, clothes dryers or similar.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing the machine in an enclosed area.

Battery safety

• To avoid spark formation due to a short circuit, always disconnect the negative cable (-) from the battery first and reconnect it last.
• Never smoke during work on the battery. Always keep sparks, naked flames and other heat sources away from the battery.
• Special care must be taken when using jumper cables. Follow relevant instructions to avoid damage to the device (in particular, do not operate the starter for more than 10 seconds).
• Never open the battery and do not drop it.
  • Always charge the battery in a closed room with good ventilation, dry and protected against the weather.
• Do not short-circuit battery connections.
• Deformed or defective (leaking) batteries must not be used and must be replaced and disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. Observe the country-specific regulations.
• If the batteries are defective, liquid may leak out. Avoid contact! In case of accidental contact, rinse with water. If the liquid gets into your eyes, seek additional medical attention. Leaking battery fluid can cause skin irritation, burns and chemical burns.
• Regularly visually inspect the connection cables on the battery for damage. Have damaged cables replaced by a specialist.
• Never bypass the fuses. Never use a fuse with a rating other than the prescribed rating (amperes).

Use and care of the machine

- Never pick up or carry the machine while the engine is running.

- Do not handle the machine violently.

- Use the right machine for your area of application. The right machine will do the job it was designed for better and more safely.

- Do not change the speed governor setting of the engine or over-rev it. The speed control system controls the maximum speed of the engine with maximum safety.

- Do not hold your hands or feet near rotating parts.

- Avoid contact with hot fuel, oil, exhaust gases and hot surfaces. Do not touch the engine or exhaust silencer. These parts become particularly hot during use. They are still hot a short time after the machine is switched off.

- Allow the engine to cool down before carrying out maintenance or adjustment work.

- If the machine starts to make unusual noises or vibrations, switch the engine off immediately, disconnect the spark plug cable and determine the cause. Unusual noises or vibrations are usually a safety sign of faults.

- Only use assembly and accessory parts approved by the manufacturer. Failure to do so may result in injury.

- Service the machine. Check for misalignment or jamming of moving parts, damaged parts and other conditions that could impair function of the machine. Have the machine repaired before any further use if you find any damage. Many accidents are the result of poorly maintained equipment.

- Keep the engine and silencer free of grass, leaves, excess grease or soot encrustation to reduce the risk of fire.

- Never pour or splash water or any other liquid onto the machine.

- Keep the handles dry, clean and free of small parts.

- Clean the machine after every use.

- Follow the applicable waste disposal guidelines for petrol, oil etc. to protect the environment.

- Keep the switched-off machine out of the reach of children and do not allow persons who are not familiar with the machine or these instructions to use the machine. The machine is dangerous in the hands of untrained operators.

Service

• Before cleaning, repairing, inspecting or adjusting, switch off the engine and ensure that all moving parts have come to a standstill.
• Always ensure that the throttle lever is in the "off" position. Disconnect the spark plug cable and keep it away from the spark plug to prevent accidental start-up.
• Have your machine serviced by qualified personnel. Use only original spare parts. This ensures that the machine remains safe.

Residual risks

The machine has been built according to the state-of-the-art and the recognised technical safety requirements. However, individual residual risks can arise during operation. Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety Instructions" and the "Intended Use" together with the operating manual as a whole are observed.

Noise and vibration

The specified device emissions values were determined according to EN ISO 3744 for sound power or EN ISO 11201 for sound pressure.

Noise can have serious effects on your health. If the machine noise exceeds 85 dB, please wear suitable hearing protection.

Noise data:

Sound pressure level L_pA	74.4 dB
Uncertainty K_pA	2.5 dB
Sound power level L_WA	98 dB

Vibration parameters:

Steering lever right vibration A_hv	7.127 m/s ^2
Steering lever left vibration A_hv	5.577 m/s ^2
Measurement uncertainty K_PA	1.5 m/s ^2

The specified sound levels have been measured in accordance with a standardised test procedure and can be used to compare different tools with one another. In addition, these values are suitable for estimating the stresses for the user resulting from the noise in advance.

⚠ WARNING

The vibration emission value can vary from the specified value during actual use, depending on the type and the manner in which the device is used.

Try to minimise stress from vibrations as low as possible. Some examples of means for reducing the vibration stress are wearing gloves while using the tool and limiting work time. In doing so, all parts of the operating cycle must be taken into account (such as times in which the device is switched off or times in which it is switched on, but is not running under a load).

Warning!

In case of extended working periods, the operating personnel may suffer circulatory disturbances in their hands (vibration white finger) due to vibrations.

Raynaud's syndrome is a vascular disease that causes the small blood vessels on the fingers and toes to cramp in spasms. The affected areas are no longer supplied with sufficient blood and therefore appear extremely pale. The frequent use of vibrating devices can cause nerve damage in people whose circulation is impaired (e.g. smokers, diabetics).

If you notice unusual adverse effects, stop working immediately and seek medical advice.

Observe the following information to reduce hazards:

- Keep your body and especially your hands warm in cold weather.

• Take regular breaks and move your hands to promote circulation.

- Ensure as little vibration as possible at the device via regular maintenance and stable parts on the machine.

Keep the noise level and vibration to a minimum!
