When Transporting The Device; Before Starting; When Starting; When Working - Solo 440 Manual De Instrucciones

4.4 When transporting the device

Always turn off the motor when transporting
the device!
To prevent fuel running out and associated
damages, the device should be secured
against tipping over during vehicle transport.
Check the tank for leaks. It is advisable to
drain the tank before transportation.
Drain the tank before despatching the equipment.

4.5 Before starting

Check the power tool before starting to insure
readiness for operation.
Also check the ignition cable and spark plug
cap for perfect fit. Loose connections can
cause sparks which can ignite any expelled
fuel-air mixture - risk of fire.
The impeller and the blower casing must be
in a problem-free condition. Damage to the
blower casing can lead to an injury hazard
through escaping foreign objects.
In this case do not use the device, have it
checked by a dealer.
The stop switch must move easily from the on
to off positions.
The gas throttle must have freedom of move-
ment and return to the idle position of it own
accord.

4.6 When starting

1.When starting, keep a distance of at least 3
meters from the refueling location, and never
start the device in enclosed areas.
2.Make sure that you standing firmly on the
ground when starting. Always start on even
ground, with a firm grip on the power tool.
3.The power tool may only be operated by
one person - no other people should be within
a radius of 5 m -even when starting.
4.Execute the start process as described in
Chapter "7. Start motor/stop motor".

4.7 When working

Only use this motorised equipment when it is
complete and in a safe condition.
As soon as the motor is running the
power tool generates toxic gases, that
can be invisible and odourless. Never
work in enclosed areas with the power
tool. In confined conditions such as
pits or excavations insure adequate air
exchange when working.
Do not smoke at the work site and in the imme-
diate vicinity of the power tool. There is an
increased fire hazard!
4.Work conscientiously, thoughtfully and calmly, and do
not endanger other people.
5.Pay attention to good visibility and lighting conditions.
6.Always remain within earshot of other people who can
provide help in the case of emergency.
7.Plan for timely work breaks.
8.Pay attention to possible hazard sources and meet the
appropriate precautionary measures. Be aware that when
wearing hearing protection the ability to perceive noises
is limited. This includes sounds alerting to danger such as
signals, shouts, etc. that can go unnoticed.
9. Always grasp the power tool firmly and always pay
attention to safe and stable standing position.
Never blow in the direction of other people, as smaller
objects can be forced upward at high speeds.
10.Implement the power tool at lowest possible noise and
exhaust levels. Only open the throttle when working, do
not let the motor run unnecessarily. Please note that noise
also impacts the environment. Observe the quiet times,
that can vary from place to place.
11.Exercise caution when the ground is wet, with ice and
snow, on overhangs, or uneven terrain. There is an in-
creased risk of slipping!
12.Pay attention to obstacles or stumbling hazards such as
tree roots, tree stumps, edges.
13.Do not touch the exhaust and the noise suppressor, as
long as they are still hot, there is a danger of burn injury!
14.Never work with defective noise suppressor or without
noise suppressor. There is a hazard of hearing damage
and burn injury hazard!
When using as vacuum shredder (model 441):
For vacuuming, the power tool may only be used
with attached collection bag. Hang the carrying
strap over the shoulder. Always hold power tool
with two hands by the two handles.
Never vacuum up hot materials or burning materi-
als, (no ashes, burning cigarettes etc.), there is a
fire injury hazard. Also flammable liquids (for ex-
ample gasoline), or materials, that are wet with
such materials may not be vacuumed up.
There is a hazard of fatal injury caused by explosion
or fire!
Ensure that no branches, fabric, rags, , mineral
material (gravel, stones, etc.), metallic materials or
other substances are collected, for which the equip-
ment is not designed. Such material could damage
the machine.
Never use the Hand-held Vac 441 on substrates
covered by gravel or other hard materials, which
might damage the equipment.
If the vacuum tube is not mounted, then the
blower cover must always be closed until it catches.
Rotating parts can lead to serious injuries. Also
damage could occur to the motor.
