Machine operating hazards

Warning
Under normal working conditions the engine
components, particularly the exhaust system,
will get hot - DO NOT TOUCH. The hydraulic oil,
pump, valve and tank can also reach temperatures
high enough to burn - DO NOT TOUCH.
Danger
Petrol is flammable - keep naked flames away from
the machine. Do not smoke while refuelling the
machine or working with the engine. Do not refuel
with the engine running. Turn off the engine and
let the engine cool for at least 2 minutes before
refuelling. Do not overfill the tank. Fill the tank
approx. 30-40 mm (1-1.5 in) below the top of the
neck to allow for fuel expansion.
Warning
The setting of the pressure relief valve on the
machine can in some cases be higher than the
prescribed maximum setting according to the
E.H.T.M.A. category (see "E.H.T.M.A. category").
A too high pressure relief valve setting can harm
the work tool to be used.
Readjust the pressure relief valve on the machine,
if the technical specifications of the work tool
prescribe a lower pressure relief valve setting than
the standard setting of the machine.
Caution
Do not operate the work tool when adjusting the
machine's choke control or fuel valve in order not
to injure your fingers.

Fume and exhaust hazard

Danger
The exhaust fumes from the machine's engine
contain carbon monoxide which is poisonous.
Inhalation of exhaust fumes can cause serious
injury or death.
► Do not inhale exhaust fumes.
► Never operate the machine in closed spaces,
even if doors and windows are open. Start and
run the machine outdoors.
