• Never use the machine if it is in need of repair or in poor mechanical condition. Replace damaged, missing or defective parts before use.
• Check the machine for fuel leaks.
• Keep it in good functional order. Do not use the machine if the engine cannot be switched on and off at the corresponding switch.
• A petrol-driven machine that cannot be controlled via the engine switch is dangerous and must be replaced.
• Before starting the machine, get into the habit of checking that screwdrivers and spanners are away from the area around the machine. A screwdriver or spanner that is still in a rotating device part may result in personal injury.
• Be attentive, watch your actions and use common sense when working with the machine. Do not overextend yourself.
• Do not operate the machine barefoot or with sandals or similar light footwear. Wear safety shoes that protect your feet and improve your grip on slippery surfaces.
• Ensure safe footing and balance at all times. This will allow you to better control the machine in unexpected situations.
• Prevent unintentional start-up. Make sure that the engine switch is switched off before transporting the machine or carrying out maintenance work on the machine. Transport or maintenance work on the machine can lead to accidents if the switch is on.

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.

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.

• Keep your hands away from the working area when the machine is in operation.
• Carefully check the area where work is to be done and keep the work area clean and free of dirt to prevent trip hazards. Work on a level smooth floor.
• During assembly, installation, operation, maintenance, repair or transport, never place any part of your body in a position where it would be in danger if movement occurred.
• Never leave the operating position while the engine is running.
• Always hold the device with both hands during operation. Always hold the handlebar securely.

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
Total machine width	106 cm

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!

7. Unpacking

• Open the packaging and carefully remove the device.
• Remove the packaging material, as well as the packaging and transport safety devices (if present).

• Check whether the scope of delivery is complete.

• Check the device and accessory parts for transport damage. In the event of complaints the carrier must be informed immediately. Later claims will not be recognised.

• If possible, keep the packaging until the expiry of the warranty period.
• Familiarise yourself with the product by means of the operating manual before using for the first time.
• With accessories as well as wearing parts and replacement parts use only original parts. Spare parts can be obtained from your specialist dealer.

11.1.1 Changing oil (Fig. 9, 14)

Change the engine oil after 20 operating hours, then every 50 hours or once per year.

The engine oil change should be carried out while the motor is at operating temperature and switched off. Use only engine oil (SAE 30 or 10W-30).

1. Place the machine on a level, even surface.
2. Place a suitable collection container under the oil drain screw (11).
3. Use an open-end spanner size 13 mm (not included in the scope of delivery) to open the oil drain screw (11) and drain the engine oil.
4. After you have drained the engine oil completely, tighten the oil drain screw (11) again.
5. Now unscrew the oil dipstick (13) anti-clockwise.
6. Fill up with fresh engine oil and check the oil level (see 9.1).
7. Then screw the oil dipstick (13) back in clockwise.

11.2 Air filter maintenance (Fig. 1, 15) ⚠️ DANGER!

Risk of fire and explosion!

If not cleaned correctly, fuel may ignite and even explode. This can lead to severe burns or death.

• Clean the air filter only by knocking out or blowing out with compressed air.
• Never clean the air filter with petrol or flammable solvents.

NOTE!

Risk of damage!

Operating the engine without the filter element in place can cause engine damage.

- Never run the engine without the air filter element in place.

A fouled air filter insert diminishes the engine output due to reduced air supply to the carburettor. Regular inspection is therefore essential.

The air filter should be checked every 10 operating hours and cleaned as required.

1. Take off the air filter cover (21).
2. Check the air filter cover (21) for holes or cracks. Replace any damaged insert.
3. Wipe off dirt on the inside of the filter housing with a clean moist cloth. Make sure that no direct enters the opening. Set the air filter cover (21) on the filter housing for the duration of the filter cleaning process.
4. Take off the filter (21a). Check it for damage and replace it if necessary.
5. Blow out the filter (21a) from the inside to the outside with compressed air. Do not rub dirt off the filter (21a). This can result in damage.
6. Reinsert the clean filter (21a).
7. Put on the air filter cover (21).

⚠️ ATTENTION: Never run the engine without an air filter insert or with a damaged air filter insert. This would allow dirt to enter the engine, which would damage the engine. The manufacturer warranty is then invalidated.

11.3 Spark plug maintenance (Fig. 1, 16)

Check the spark plug for contamination for the first time after 10 operating hours and clean it with a copper wire brush if necessary. Thereafter, replace the spark plug every 50 operating hours if necessary.

1. Pull off the spark plug connector (4) with a twisting motion.
2. Remove the spark plug (4a) with a spark plug wrench (not included in the scope of delivery).
3. Clean the spark plug (4a) with a copper wire brush if necessary.
4. Use a feeler gauge to set the gap to 0.75 mm(0.030").
5. Replace the spark plug (4a) and take care not to pull it too firmly.

11.4 Drain fuel with a petrol extraction pump

In case of storage over a longer period of time, the fuel must be drained.

⚠ WARNING!

Health hazard!

Inhalation of fuel / lubricating oil vapours and exhaust gases can cause serious damage to health, unconsciousness and in extreme cases death.

• Do not breathe fuel / lubricating oil vapours and exhaust gases.

• Empty out fuel only outdoors.

• Hold a collection container under the hose of the petrol extraction pump (not included in the scope of delivery).

• Unscrew and remove the fuel filler cap (20).
• Push the hose of the petrol extraction pump into the fuel tank and drain out the fuel completely using the petrol extraction pump.
• Retighten the fuel filler cap (20).

Unintended and unexpected start-up of the product may lead to injuries.

• After loading, switch off the engine and, after the engine has cooled down, remove the spark plug connector from the spark plug.
• The product can cause severe crushing injuries due to its own weight.

Allow the engine to cool down before transporting or loading to avoid burns and to prevent fire hazards.

⚠ The machine can fall and cause damage or injury if it is not loaded properly.

When transporting over longer distances, drain the fuel tank completely.

Secure the machine on the transport vehicle against rolling, slipping or tipping over and also lash down the machine.

14. Storage

⚠️ DANGER!

Risk of fire and explosion!

Storing the product near potential sources of ignition can result in a fire or an explosion. This can lead to severe burns or death.

- Eliminate possible sources of ignition, such as furnaces, hot water boilers with gas, gas dryers, etc.

NOTE!

Risk of damage!

If the product is not stored properly, the engine can be damaged.

- Store the product protected against dirt, dust and moisture.

14.1 Storage during extended breaks in operation:

If the machine will not be used for a period of more than 30 days, follow the steps below to prepare it for storage.

1. Empty the fuel tank completely (see section 10.4). Stored petrol containing ethanol or MTBE becomes stale within 30 days. Stale petrol has a high rubber content and can thus clog the carburettor and restrict the petrol supply.

2. Start the engine and let it run until it stops. This ensures that no petrol remains in the carburettor. This prevents deposits from forming in the carburettor and potentially damaging the engine.

3. Drain the engine oil from the engine while it is still warm. Top up with new oil. (See section 9.1.)
4. Disconnect the spark plug cable.
5. Use clean cloths to clean the machine.
6. Store the machine in an upright position in a clean, dry building with good ventilation.

Store the product and its accessories in a dark, dry and frost-free place that is inaccessible to children. The optimum storage temperature is between 5 and 30°C.

Store the product in its original packaging.

Cover the machine to protect it from dust or moisture. Store the operating manual with the machine.
