x Wear protective gloves for any work.
x The power tool requires regular maintenance. Only perform such maintenance and repair work on your
own that are described in these operating instructions and that you consider yourself skilled at
performing. Any other work must only be performed by specialist workshops authorised by us.

Before start-up

Before start-up, check the entire power tool for operationally safe conditions. In addition to the notes in the
operating and maintenance notes (Î chap. 8, page 29), check the following items:
x One-touch stop button must be easy to operate.
x The throttle control must move freely and return automatically to the idle position. It must not be possible
to operate the throttle control without pushing (unlocking) the throttle control lock (throttle control
locked).
x The cut-off wheel must be attached firmly to the spindle.
x Danger of fire! Ignition cable and spark plug connector must be firmly in place. Loose connection can
result in sparks which could ignite any escaping fuel/air mixture!

started. In such cases, have the power tool inspected by specialist workshops authorised by us.
