TRANSPORT
Ensure regular maintenance and correct storage
to maintain machine safety and high performance
levels.

fuel leaks on a regular basis.
• Be careful during adjustment of the machine
to prevent entrapment of the fingers between
moving parts of the cutting means and fixed
parts of the machine.
Storage
• Do not store the machine with fuel in the tank
in an area where fuel vapours could reach a
naked flame, spark or strong source of heat.
• To reduce fire risks, do not leave containers
with debris inside a room.
