SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PETROL-POWERED
TRIMMERS AND BRUSHCUTTERS
WARNING: Petrol is extremely flammable and its
fumes may explode when ignited. Take care of the
following:
1) Store petrol in containers designed and approved
for the storage of such substances only.
2) Always switch off the engine and let it cool down
before you refill the tank. As long as the engine is
hot you must never remove the tank cap or refill
the tank.
3) In the tank pressure may develop. Loosen the
tank cap slowly to allow this pressure to gradually
decrease.
4) Refuel the device in a clean, well-ventilated room
only. Immediately wipe off spilled-over fuel. In such
a case, you must keep all sources of ignition away
from the device and wait with the starting of the
engine until the fuel has evaporated.
5) Make sure that you use the right fuel or petrol/oil
mix (lubricated petrol). To operate the device the
tank cap must be closed tightly.
6) Start the device at least three meters away from the
place where you fuelled it. Do not smoke during
fuelling or operation and take care that no sparks
or open flames reach into the working area.
7) Caution: The exhaust gases are poisonous and
can result in suffocation and death. Do not run
the motor in closed or in badly ventilated areas.
DURING OPERATION
• Use this trimmer for its provided purpose only,
i.e. for the cutting of grass, brushwood and weed.
• Avoid any inadvertent starting of the engine. Make
sure, that the control lever is always in 'Start' posi-
tion when you pull the starter rope.

from injuries you should not work with this device
if you are tired.

• Wear appropriate clothes. Do not work with this
device with bare feet or open sandals. Always wear
robust footwear with rubber soles. We recommend
to wear gloves, ear protection and long trousers.
• Do not wear wide clothing or scarves, chains, ties
etc. These may get sucked into the air inlet. Do also
take care that long hair does not get into the air inlet.
Tie long hair together behind the head so that the
neck and shoulders remain free from it.
• Keep your hands, face and feet away from any mov-
ing parts. Do not try to touch or stop the cutting cord

In closed rooms, exhaust gases containing carbon

parts get extremely hot during operation and
stay hot for some time after the device has been
switched off.
• Always hold the trimmer with both hands during
work. Hold on to both the front and back handle
tightly.
• Check the condition of the cutting head regularly.
All damaged parts must be replaced immediately.
Follow the necessary safety measures when replac-
ing any parts.
• If you touch an object or get caught (with the de-
vice) switch off the engine immediately and check
the device for possible damage. Repair possibly
existing damages before you try to continue your
work. Do not operate the trimmer if it has loose or
damaged parts.
• Do not run the engine faster than required for cut-
ting, trimming or the clean-cutting of edges. Do
not let the engine run on high speeds when you
are not cutting.

when the trimmer is operated. If this should not be
the case, the engine may overheat. OPERATE THE
DEVICE ONLY WITH THE PROTECTION COVER
MOUNTED.
