Fuel Filler Cap with Screw Thread
Tighten the fuel filler cap
as securely as possible
after refuelling.
This reduces the risk of the cap working
loose due to engine vibrations and fuel
leaking out.
WARNING
Never attempt to force the cap open by
using a tool. It may damage the cap and
allow fuel to leak.
WARNING
Before use, make sure that the fuel cap
has been completely and properly
tightened and any spilled fuel wiped
away. Check for fuel leakage while
refueling and during operation. If a fuel
leak is suspected, do not start or run the
engine until the leak is fixed and spilled
fuel has been wiped away.
Before Starting
For wheel installation, follow the
procedure described in the appropriate
sections of your instruction manual.
WARNING
Check fuel system for leaks, especially
the visible parts, e.g., filler cap, hose
connections, manual fuel pump (only for
power tools equipped with a manual fuel
pump). Do not start the engine if there
are leaks or damage – risk of fire! Have
the machine repaired by a servicing
dealer before using it.

WARNING
Never operate a cut-off machine if it is
damaged, improperly adjusted or
maintained, or not completely or
securely assembled. Check machine
that it is ready for proper operation.
Keep the handles dry, clean and free of
oil and fuel.
WARNING
Before operation of your cut-off
machine, be sure the controls (e.g.
throttle trigger, throttle trigger lockout,
stop switch) and the safety devices are
working properly, the carburetor idle and
maximum speed are correctly adjusted,
the wheel is properly mounted, and the
wheel guard is in place and securely
fastened to your unit. All wheels should
be carefully inspected for good condition
before mounting.
Adjust the wheel guard
so that sparks, dust and
cut material are deflected
away from the operator,
and cannot reach flam-
mable surroundings. See
section "Operating
Instructions" of your
instruction manual.
WARNING
Check that the spark plug boot is
securely mounted on the spark plug – a
loose boot may cause arcing that could
ignite combustible fumes and cause a
fire.
Proper tensioning of the ribbed V-belt is
important. In order to avoid an incorrect
setting, the tensioning procedure must
be followed as described in your
manual. Always make sure the
hexagonal collar nuts for the cast arm
are tightened securely.
Check ribbed belt tension after one hour
of operation and correct if necessary.
Starting
WARNING
Your cut-off machine is a one-person
tool. Do not allow other persons to be
near a running cut-off machine. Start
and operate your cut-off machine
without assistance. For specific starting
instructions, see the appropriate section
of your instruction manual.
Do not drop start. This method is very
dangerous because you may lose
control of the cut-off machine. Place the
cut-off machine on firm ground or other
solid surface in an open area. Maintain
good balance and secure footing. Be
