15. Check the area in which the machine is to be
used and remove any stones, sticks, wires,
bones and other foreign objects that could be
caught and ejected.
16. If devices are operated with a discharge to the
rear and open rear rollers without a catcher,
complete eye protection must be worn.
17. Do not run the combustion engine in closed
rooms in which hazardous carbon dioxide can
collect.
Fuel Safety
m WARNING: Petrol is highly flammable
1 Fuel is highly flammable, and its vapors can ex-
plode if ignited. Take precautions when using to
reduce the chance of serious personal injury.
2 When refilling or draining the fuel tank, use an
approved fuel storage container while in a clean,
well-ventilated outdoor. Do not smoke, or allow
sparks, open flames or other sources of ignition
near the area while adding fuel or operating the
unit. Never fill fuel tank indoors.
3 Keep grounded conductive objects, such as
tools, away from exposed, live electrical parts
and connections to avoid sparking or arcing.
These events could ignite fumes or vapors.
4 Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before
filling the fuel tank. Never remove the cap of the
fuel tank or add fuel while the engine is running
or when the engine is hot. Do not operate the ma-
chine with known leaks in the fuel system.
5 Loose the fuel tank cap slowly to relieve any
pressure in the tank.
6 Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than
12.5mm (1/2" below the bottom of the filler neck
to provide space for expansion as the heat of the
engine can cause fuel to expand).
7 Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely
and wipe up spilled fuel. Never operate the unit
without the fuel cap securely in place.
8 Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilled fuel.
If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the en-
gine but move the machine away from the area of
spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition
until fuel vapors have dissipated.
9 Store fuel in containers specifically designed and
approved for this purpose.
10 Store fuel in a cool, well-ventilated area, safely
away from sparks, open flames or other sources
of ignition.
11 Never store fuel or machine with fuel in the tank
inside a building where fumes may reach a spark,
open flame, or other sources of ignition, such as
a water heater, furnace, clothes dryer and the
like. Allow the engine to cool before storing in
any enclosure.
12. If petrol overflows, no attempts should be made
to start the engine. Instead, the machine must
be removed from the area contaminated with
petrol.
Do not try to start the engine until the petrol va-
pours have evaporated.
13. For safety reasons, the petrol tank cap and other
tank caps must be replaced if damaged.
Instructions for use and maintenance of the ma-
chine
1 Never pick up or carry a machine while the engine
is running. Stop work tools if crossing surfaces
other than grass and when transporting the ma-
chine from and to the surface to be worked on.
2 Do not force the machine. Use the correct ma-
chine for your application. The correct machine
will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
3 Do not change the engine governor settings GB
or over-speed the engine. The governor controls
the maximum safe operating speed of the engine.
4 Do not run the engine at a high speed when you
are not tilling.
5 Never out hands and feet on or under rotating
parts. Always keep clear of the discharge open-
ing.
6 Avoid contact with hot fuel, oil, exhaust fumes and
hot surfaces. Do not touch the engine or muffler.
These parts get extremely hot from operation.
They remain hot for a short time after you turn
off the unit. Allow the engine to cool before doing
maintenance or making adjustments.
7 If the machine should start to make an unusual
noise or vibration, immediately shut off the en-
gine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and check
for the cause. Unusual noise or vibration is gener-
ally warning of trouble.
8 Use only attachments and accessories approved
by the manufacturer. Failure to do so can result in
personal injury.
9 Maintain the machine. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the machine's
operation. If damaged, have the machine repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained equipment.
10 Keep the engine and muffler free of grass, leaves,
excessive grease or carbon build up to reduce the
chance of a fire hazard.
11 Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
12 Never douse or squirt the unit with water or any
other liquid. Keep handles dry, clean and free
from debris. Clean after each use.
13 Observe proper disposal laws and regulations for
gas, oil, etc. to protect the environment.
14 Store idle machine out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the ma-
chine or these instructions to operate it. Machine
is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
15. Replace damaged silencers.
