aged parts repaired before using the device. Many ac-
cidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

described in this manual.
• Never store the product with fuel in the tank inside a
building in which fuel vapours may come into contact
with naked flames or sparks.
• Allow the engine to cool down before maintenance
and cleaning work, as well as before storage.
• Keep the engine, silencer and fuel tank free of dust,
branches and leaves. Fire hazard!
• Only empty the tank outdoors or in well-ventilated
rooms.

5.7 Safe use of fuels
WARNING
Fuels and fuel vapours are flammable and
can cause serious damage if they are inhaled
or come into contact with the skin. You
should therefore exercise caution when han-
dling fuel, and ensure good ventilation.
• Before refuelling, switch off the combustion engine
and let it cool down.
• Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refuel-
ling. Avoid naked flames (danger of explosion!).
• Wear gloves when refuelling.
• Be careful not to spill fuel or oil.
• If fuel overflows, no attempts should be made to start
the engine. Instead, the product must be removed
from the area contaminated with fuel. Do not try to
start the engine until the fuel vapours have evaporat-
ed. If fuel or oil is spilled over it, change your clothing
immediately.
• Make sure that no fuel gets into the soil.
• The tank cover must be properly screwed on and
tightened after each refuelling operation. The product
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 (brittle-
ness), tight fit and leaks and replace if necessary.
• Only transport and store fuel in containers (canisters)
designed for this purpose.
• Keep fuel away from children.
• Do not transport or store fuels in the vicinity of com-
bustible or highly flammable materials/substances, or
near sparks or naked flames.
• Start the product at a distance of at least 3 m from the
fuel filling point.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasp-
ing surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control
of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Before refuelling, switch off the combustion engine
and let it cool down.
