Warning! Petrol is highly flammable! There-
fore:
- Only store petrol in containers designed to
hold petroleum-based liquids.
- Only refuel out in the open and do not
smoke during the refuelling process.
- Always refuel before starting the engine.
Do not open the fuel tank cap and do not
refuel while the engine is running or when the
equipment is hot.
- If petrol has overflowed, do not under any
circumstances attempt to start the engine.
Instead, remove the equipment from the af-
fected area. Avoid starting the engine until the
petrol fumes have completely evaporated.

tank cap must be replaced if they are dama-
ged.

Before using the scythe, visually inspect it
to ensure that the blade, mounting bolts and
the entire cutting apparatus are in good wor-
king order (i.e. not worn out or damaged). To
prevent any imbalance, replace worn out or
damaged blades and mounting bolts as a set
only (if applicable).
Handling

•
Wear close-fitting work clothing which is in
good condition and which offers protection,
such as long trousers, sturdy work shoes,
hard-wearing gloves, a helmet, a face mask
or goggles to protect your eyes, and good
quality cotton wool in your ears or some other
ear protectors to reduce the noise.
•
Store the equipment in a safe place. Open the
petrol tank cap slowly to release any pressure
that may have formed in the petrol tank. To
prevent the risk of fire, move at least 3 meters
from the refueling area before you start the
equipment.
•
Switch off the equipment before you put it
down.
•
Always hold the equipment firmly in both
hands. Your fingers and thumbs should be
wrapped around the handles.
•
Ensure that all screws and connecting ele-
ments are secure. Never use the equipment
if it has not been properly adjusted or has not
been fully or safely assembled.
•
Make sure that the handles are clean and dry
and that there is no petrol mixture on them.
