7.5 Transport
• If the product is to be worn, you must:
– Switch off the engine and disconnect the spark
plug connector.
– Carry the product by the handles. Do not lift the
product by the tube.
• When transporting in a vehicle, remove the tubes and
load the product in such a way that there is no danger
to persons. The product should be secured to prevent
it toppling during transport in vehicles in order to en-
sure that fuel does not escape and to prevent damage
and injuries.
7.6 Environmental protection
• Make sure that no fuel gets into the soil.
• Dispose of packaging and waste materials in accor-
dance with applicable local laws.
• Fuel residues, oils and liquids used for cleaning must
be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner!
• Dispose of the product properly in accordance with
the regulations in force in your country.
7.7 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.
7.8 Residual risks
The product has been built according to state-of-the-
art and the recognised technical safety rules.
However, individual residual risks can arise during
operation.
• Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety Instruc-
tions" and the "Intended Use" together with the operat-
ing instructions as a whole are observed.
• Use the product in the way that is recommended in
this operating manual. This is how to ensure that your
product provides optimum performance.
• Prevent the product being unintentionally started up.
• Keep your hands away from the working area when
the product is in operation.
• Comply with the stipulated maintenance and safety in-
structions in the operating instructions.
• Furthermore, despite all precautions having been met,
some non-obvious residual risks may still remain.
WARNING
In case of extended working periods, the operating per-
sonnel may suffer circulatory disturbances in their
hands (vibration white finger) due to vibrations.
Raynaud's syndrome is a vascular disease that causes
the small blood vessels on the fingers and toes to
cramp in spasms. The affected areas are no longer
supplied with sufficient blood and therefore appear ex-
tremely pale. The frequent use of vibrating products can
cause nerve damage in people whose circulation is im-
paired (e.g. smokers, diabetics).
If you notice unusual adverse effects, stop working im-
mediately and seek medical advice.
