• Do not refuel in enclosed spaces (risk of explo-
sion).
• Only refuel outdoors.
• Ensure that you do not spill fuel or oil. Clean the
petrol hedge trimmer immediately if you spill fuel or oil.
Change your clothes immediately if you spill fuel or oil on
them.
• Make sure that no fuel gets into the soil.
• Carefully seal the tank plug immediately after
refuelling and ensure that it does not become
loose during operation.
• Ensure that the tank cover and fuel lines are
tight. If the event of leaks, the device must not be oper-
ated.
• Only transport and store fuels in approved and
labelled containers.
• Keep children away from fuels.
• Do not transport and store fuels in the vicinity
of flammable or easily flammable substances
as well as sparks or naked flames.
• Move at least three meters away from the refu-
elling area before starting the device.
• If the tank is emptied, this should be done out-
doors.
• Never store the petrol hedge trimmer or fuel
tank in a room where there is an open flame,
such as in a water heater.
• To reduce the risk of fire, keep the engine and
silencer free of cutting waste, leaves and lubri-
cants!
• Never remove the fuel filler cap or top up with
petrol when the engine is running or hot.
• Allow the engine and exhaust parts to cool be-
fore refilling.
• If petrol has overflowed try not to start the en-
gine but remove the machine from the petrol
contaminated surface before starting.
6.4 Residual risks
Even when used as intended, there may still be residual risks
due to the design determined by the intended use, despite
compliance with all relevant safety regulations. Residual risks
can be minimised if the "6. Safety Instructions" and the "5. In-
tended Use" together with the operating manual as a whole
are observed. Consideration and caution lower the risk of per-
sonal injuries and damage.
Furthermore, despite all precautions having been
met, some non-obvious residual risks may still re-
main:
• Injury due to ejected parts.
• Breakage and ejection of blade pieces.
• Danger of carbon monoxide poisoning when using the de-
vice in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces.
• Danger of burning if hot components are touched.
• Impairment of hearing in the event of prolonged work with-
out hearing protection.
7. Working instructions
Before commissioning and regularly while working with the
petrol hedge trimmer, carry out the following checks:
• Is the petrol hedge trimmer fully and properly assembled?
Ensure that all nuts and screws are tightened.
• Is the petrol hedge trimmer in a good and safe condition?
- Are all safety functions working?
• Is the fuel tank filled?
• Is the cutting device undamaged and sharpened?
• Are the motor and silencer free of deposits, leaves or escap-
ing lubricant?
• Is the handle clean and dry, free of oil, grease and resin?
• Is the workplace free of trip hazards?
• Are you wearing the required protective equipment?
• Have you read and understood all the safety instructions?
• Is the throttle easy to access and functional?
• Is the on/off button functional?
• Does the cutting device always remain still when idling?
If the cutting device moves when idling, the idle speed must be
reduced (see "13.2 Setting the idle speed").
• Make sure that the transmission is sufficiently lubricated (see
"13. Cleaning and maintenance").
7.1 General behaviour when working with the
hedge trimmer
• Do not work alone. Someone should be within reach for
emergencies.
• Keep children, persons and animals away from your work
area (at least 15 m).
• Do not work on snow, ice or other slippery surfaces, risk of
slipping.
• Do not work when the light conditions are insufficient (e.g.
fog, rain, driving snow or twilight).
• Shoo animals away from the hedge before cutting so they
are not injured.
• Make sure that you have a safe and tidy workplace. Re-
move objects which could be ejected from the work area.
• Avoid abnormal posture. Keep your balance at all times.
Do not work with your upper body bent over.
• Only operate the petrol hedge trimmer with firm footing.
• Switch the petrol hedge trimmer off when changing loca-
tion.
• Keep hands and feet away from the cutting device if it is
moving.
• Hold the petrol hedge trimmer so that no exhaust gases can
be breathed in. Do not work in enclosed spaces.
• Do not use the petrol hedge trimmer to lift or shovel away
pieces of wood or other objects.
• Make sure to remove any foreign objects from the hedges
(e.g. wire), since they may damage the cutting device of the
petrol hedge trimmer.
• Always hold the petrol hedge trimmer tightly with both
hands, left hand on the front handle and the right hand on
the rear handle. Never work with only one hand.
• If the throttle is released, the cutting device continues to run
for a short time (freewheel effect).
• Start cutting with the cutting device running.
• Never touch the cutting device with your hands during op-
eration.
