be kept in a completely legible condition.
• Be aware of environmental conditions at the work
place.
• Ensure sufficient lighting at and around the machi-
ne.

• When the motor is running, be aware of fumes.
These may be odourless and invisible.
• When the weather is bad, the ground is uneven or
in the event of slopes, ensure secure footing.
• When working with the machine, all protective de-
vices and covers must be attached.
• Keep people, especially children, away from the
working environment.
• Prevent unauthorised people from coming in con-
tact with the machine.
• Ensure that children do not have access to the ma-

tices have to be at least 16 years old and may only
work with the machine under supervision.
• People working with the machine must not be dis-
tracted.
• Store the machine safely so that nobody can get
injured by the machine or put it into operation.
• Only ever use the machine according to its inten-
ded purpose.
• Do not use power tools where there is a risk of fire
or explosions.
• Wear appropriate work clothing that does not hin-
der your work.
• During work, wear hearing protection and goggles.
• Wear safety boots with steel toe caps, steel soles
and a non-slip profile.
• Wear tough work gloves.
• The machine's safety devices must not be removed
or made unusable.
• Carry out work such as retooling, adjusting, measu-
ring and cleaning only when the motor is switched
off.
• Installations, repairs and maintenance must be car-
ried out by specialists.
• All protective and safety equipment must be re-
attached immediately after completing repairs and
maintenance.
• Always turn off the motor before fixing faults.
• Look out for damaged parts and protective devices.
• Faulty parts must be repaired or replaced by an au-
thorised specialist.
• Only ever use original spare parts. Using spare
parts that are not original can be a risk for people
or cause material damage.
• The machine may only be used for its intended pur-

Safety notices for petrol-powered machines
• Internal combustion engines are a particular dan-
ger during operation and refuelling.
• Always observe warning notices and additionally
specified safety instructions.
• Non-compliance can lead to severe and even lethal
injuries.
• When the motor is running, be aware of fumes.
These may be odourless and invisible. The motor
fumes contain toxic carbon monoxide. Being in
an environment with carbon monoxide can lead to
unconsciousness and death.
• Never operate the machine close to an open flame.
• Do not smoke during refuelling.
• Do not spill fuel during refuelling.
• Always close the tank filler cap properly after re-
fuelling.
• Do not touch the exhaust when the motor is running
(risk of burning).
• Do not touch the spark plug cap when the motor is
running (electric shock).
• Leave the machine to cool down before carrying
out modifications or repairs and always remove the
spark plug cap.
• Do not use petrol or solvents for cleaning. Risk of
explosion!
Refuelling:
Note: Two-stroke motor, mixing ratio 1:40
FOLLOW THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS!
Be careful and cautious when handling fuels.
• The engine must be switched off!
• Thoroughly clean the area around the caps, to pre-
vent dirt from getting into the fuel or oil tank.
• Unscrew the cap and fill the tank with fuel (fuel/oil
mixture) or chain oil as the case may be. Fill up to
the bottom edge of the filler neck.
• Be careful not to spill fuel or chain oil!
• Tighten the tank cap as far as it will go.
• After refuelling, clean the tank cap and surround-
ings and make sure the cap is sealed!
NOTE:
Always pre-mix the intended oil volume in half of the
fuel volume to produce the fuel/oil mixture and then
add the remaining fuel volume. Shake the finished
mixture well before filling the mixture into the auger.
It is not wise to add more engine oil than speci-
fied to ensure safe operation. This will only result
in a higher production of combustion residues
which will pollute the environment and clog the
exhaust channel in the cylinder as well as the
muffler. In addition, fuel consumption will rise
and performance will decrease.
The storage of fuel
Fuels have a limited storage life. Fuel and fuel mix-
tures age through evaporation, especially at high
temperatures. Aged fuel and fuel mixtures can cause
starting problems and damage the engine.Purchase
only that amount of fuel, which will be consumed over
the next few months. At high temperatures, once fuel
has been mixed it should be used up in 6-8 weeks.
Store fuel only in proper containers, in dry, cool,
secure locations!
Avoid skin and eye contact!
