• Fuel must be filled before starting the engine. While
the engine is running or immediately after switching
off the product, do not open the fuel filler cap or add
fuel.
• Open the fuel cap carefully and slowly. Wait for the
pressure to equalise and only then remove the fuel fill-
er cap completely.
• Use a suitable funnel or filler pipe for refuelling so that
no fuel can spill onto the combustion engine and
housing.
Do not overfill the fuel tank!
• To leave room for the fuel to expand, never fill the fuel
tank beyond the lower edge of the filling nozzle. Ob-
serve additional information in the combustion engine
user manual.
• If fuel has overflowed, do not start the combustion en-
gine until the area contaminated with fuel has been
cleaned. Avoid starting the engine until the fuel va-
pours have evaporated (wipe dry).
• Always wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
• If fuel has got on clothing, it must be changed.
• 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 empty the tank outdoors.
• Never use beverage bottles or similar to dispose of or
store operating materials, such as fuel. People, espe-
cially children, could be tempted to drink from it.
• Never store the product with fuel 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 product and fuel tank near heaters,
radiant heaters, welding machines or other sources of
heat.
DANGER
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.
7.4 Battery safety
• To avoid spark formation due to a short circuit, always
disconnect the negative cable (-) from the battery 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 en-
vironmentally friendly manner. Observe the country-
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 additional
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).
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.
• Health hazard due to electrical power, with the use of
improper electrical connection cables.
• Furthermore, despite all precautions having been met,
some non-obvious residual risks may still remain.
• 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.
• 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.
