Scheppach HP3000S Original Bedienungsanleitung Seite 27

• Any gasoline powered machine that can not be con-
trolled with the engine switch is dangerous and must
be replaced.
• Form a habit of checking to see that keys and ad-
justing wrenches are removed from machine area
before starting it. A wrench or a key that is left at-
tached to a rotating part of the machine may result
in personal injury.
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating the machine. Do not
overreach.
• Do not operate the machine while barefoot or when
wearing sandals or similar lightweight footwear.
Wear protective footwear that will protect your feet
and improve your footing on slippery surfaces.
• Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the machine in unexpected
situations.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the engine switch
is off before transporting the machine or performing
any maintenance or service on the unit. Transport-
ing or performing maintenance or service on a ma-
chine with its switch on invites accidents.
Precautions when using fuel
• Fuel is highly flammable, and its vapours can ex-
plode if ignited.
• Take precautions when using to reduce the chance
of serious personal injury.
• When refilling or draining the fuel tank, use an ap-
proved 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. Keep grounded conduc-
tive objects, such as tools, away from exposed, live
electrical parts and connections to avoid sparking or
arcing. These events could ignite fumes or vapours.
• 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 machine with known leaks in the
fuel system. Loose the fuel tank cap slowly to relieve
any pressure in the tank. Never overfill fuel tank
(there should be no fuel above the upper limit mark).
Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely
and wipe up spilled fuel.
• Never operate the unit without the fuel cap secure-
ly in place. Avoid creating a source of ignition for
spilled fuel. If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start
the engine. Move the machine away from the area
of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition
until fuel vapours have dissipated.
• Store fuel in containers specifically designed and
approved for this purpose.
• Store fuel in a cool, well-ventilated area, safely away
from sparks, open flames or other sources of igni-
tion. 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 en-
closure.
Machine use and care
• Never pick up or carry a machine while the engine
is running.
• Do not force the machine.
• Use the correct machine for your application. The
correct machine will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not change the engine governor settings or over-
speed the engine. The governor controls the maxi-
mum safe operating speed of the engine.
• Do not run the engine at a high speed when you are
not compacting.
• Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts.
• 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.
• If the machine should start to make an unusual noise
or vibration, immediately shut off the engine, discon-
nect the spark plug wire, and check for the cause.
Unusual noise or vibration is generally warning of
trouble.
• Use only attachments and accessories approved
by the manufacturer. Failure to do so can result in
personal injury.
• Maintain the machine. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the machine's opera-
tion. If damaged, have the machine repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained equipment.
