Filling
Stop the motor (7)before filling the tank, maintain an
appropriate distance from open flames, (8) and do not
smoke.
Never fill the machine while the motor is running or hot.
Avoid skin contact with mineral oil products. Do not
inhale fuel vapours. When filling, always wear protec-
tive gloves. Change and clean protective clothing re-
gularly.
In order to avoid ground contamination (environmen-
tal protection), ensure that no fuel or oil enters the soil.
Wipe spilt fuel off the hedge trimmer immediately. Al-
low textiles used to wipe off fuel to dry in a well venti-
lated place before disposing of them. Otherwise, sud-
den self-ignition may occur.
Ensure that your clothing does not come into contact
with fuel. If fuel has got onto your clothing, change it
immediately (danger!).
Check regularly that the cap of the fuel tank is positio-
ned correctly.
Screw on the tank cap to the correct tightness. Move at
least 3 m away from the filling location before starting
the motor. (9)
Never fill the machine in enclosed spaces. Fuel va-
pours may gather at ground level, and thereby result
in a deflagration or even an explosion.
Transport and store fuel exclusively in containers ap-
proved for that purpose. Ensure that children have no
access to stored fuel.
Carefully clean the area around the tank cap so that
no dirt enters the fuel tank.
Unscrew the cap and fill the tank with fuel. To filter the
fuel, use a funnel with an appropriate filter insert.
Screw on the tank cap again by hand.
After fuelling, clean the area around the cap and the
tank.
You must wipe off spilt fuel (danger of fire).
