• To leave room for the fuel to expand, never fill the fuel tank beyond the
lower edge of the filling nozzle. Observe additional information in the
combustion engine user manual.
• If petrol has overflowed, do not start the combustion engine until the
petrol-contaminated area has been cleaned. Avoid starting the engine
until the fuel vapours have evaporated (wipe dry).
• Always wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
• If petrol has got on clothing, it must be changed.
• The tank cover must be properly screwed on and tightened after each
refuelling operation. The device must not be put into operation without
the original tank cover screwed on.
• For safety reasons, check fuel line, fuel tank, fuel cap and connections
regularly for damage, ageing (brittleness), tight fit and leaks and re-
place if necessary.
• Only empty the tank outdoors.
• Never use beverage bottles or similar to dispose of or store operating
materials, such as fuel. People, especially children, could be tempted
to drink from it.
• Never store the device with petrol in the tank inside a building. Any fuel
vapours produced can come into contact with naked flames or sparks
and ignite.
• Do not place the device and fuel tank near heaters, radiant heaters,
welding machines or other sources of heat.
Risk of explosion!
If a defect is detected on the tank, the tank cover or on fuel-carrying parts
(fuel lines) during operation, the combustion engine must be switched off
immediately. Then consult a specialist dealer.
Residual risks
The electric tool has been built according to state-of-the-art and the
recognised technical safety rules. However, individual residual risks can
arise during operation.
• Health hazard due to electrical power, with the use of improper electri-
cal connection cables.
