Scheppach SC2200PE Original Bedienungsanleitung Seite 35

• Do not use the machine if the fuel filler cap is not
screwed tightly shut. Avoid ignition sources near
spilled petrol. If petrol has been spilled, do not at-
tempt to start the machine.
Move the machine away from the area of the spillage
and prevent the formation of ignition sources until
the petrol gases have dissipated.
• Store fuel only in containers specially manufactured
for this purpose.
• Store petrol in a cool, well-ventilated area away from
sparks and naked flames or other sources of igni-
tion. Never store petrol or the machine with a filled
tank in a building where petrol gases could reach
sparks, naked flames or other ignition sources such
as water heaters, ovens, clothes dryers or similar.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing the machine
in an enclosed area.
Battery safety
• To avoid spark formation due to a short circuit, al-
ways disconnect the negative cable (-) from the bat-
tery first and reconnect it last.
• Never smoke during work on the battery. Always
keep sparks, naked flames and other heat sources
away from the battery.
• Special care must be taken when using jumper ca-
bles. Follow relevant instructions to avoid damage to
the device (in particular, do not operate the starter
for more than 10 seconds).
• Never open the battery and do not drop it.
• Always charge the battery in a closed room with
good ventilation, dry and protected against the
weather.
• Do not short-circuit battery connections.
• Deformed or defective (leaking) batteries must not
be used and must be replaced and disposed of in an
environmentally friendly manner. Observe the coun-
try-specific regulations.
• If the batteries are defective, liquid may leak out.
Avoid contact! In case of accidental contact, rinse
with water. If the liquid gets into your eyes, seek ad-
ditional medical attention. Leaking battery fluid can
cause skin irritation, burns and chemical burns.
• Regularly visually inspect the connection cables on
the battery for damage. Have damaged cables re-
placed by a specialist.
• Never bypass the fuses. Never use a fuse with a rat-
ing other than the prescribed rating (amperes).
Use and care of the machine
• Never pick up or carry the machine while the engine
is running.
• Do not handle the machine violently.
• Use the right machine for your area of application.
The right machine will do the job it was designed for
better and more safely.
• Do not change the speed governor setting of the
engine or over-rev it. The speed control system con-
trols the maximum speed of the engine with maxi-
mum safety.
• Do not hold your hands or feet near rotating parts.
• Avoid contact with hot fuel, oil, exhaust gases and
hot surfaces. Do not touch the engine or exhaust si-
lencer. These parts become particularly hot during
use. They are still hot a short time after the machine
is switched off.
• Allow the engine to cool down before carrying out
maintenance or adjustment work.
• If the machine starts to make unusual noises or vi-
brations, switch the engine off immediately, discon-
nect the spark plug cable and determine the cause.
Unusual noises or vibrations are usually a safety
sign of faults.
• Only use assembly and accessory parts approved
by the manufacturer. Failure to do so may result in
injury.
• Service the machine. Check for misalignment or
jamming of moving parts, damaged parts and other
conditions that could impair function of the machine.
Have the machine repaired before any further use if
you find any damage. Many accidents are the result
of poorly maintained equipment.
• Keep the engine and silencer free of grass, leaves,
excess grease or soot encrustation to reduce the
risk of fire.
• Never pour or splash water or any other liquid onto
the machine.
• Keep the handles dry, clean and free of small parts.
• Clean the machine after every use.
• Follow the applicable waste disposal guidelines for
petrol, oil etc. to protect the environment.
• Keep the switched-off machine out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons who are not famil-
iar with the machine or these instructions to use the
machine. The machine is dangerous in the hands of
untrained operators.
