7 SAFETY WARNINGS GASOLINE
WARNING: Use extra care in handling fuels. They are flammable and the
vapours are explosive. The following points must be observed.
Use only an approved container.
Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel with the power source running. Allow engine
exhaust components to cool before refuelling.
Do not smoke.
Never refuel the machine indoors.
Never store the machine or fuel containers inside, where is an open flame, such as a
water heater.
If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the power source, but move the machine away
from the area of spillage before starting.
Always replace and securely tighten the fuel cap after refuelling.
If the tank is drained, this should be done outdoors.
8 BEFORE USE
WARNING! Never use a machine with faulty safety equipment. The machine's
safety equipment must be checked and maintained as described in this
section. If your machine fails any of these checks contact your service agent
to get it repaired.
8.1
Throttle lockout
The throttle lockout is designed to prevent accidental operation of the throttle control.
When you press the lock-out (1) (i.e. when you grasp the handle) it releases the throttle
trigger (9). When you release the handle the throttle control and the throttle lockout both
move back to their original positions.
See instructions under the heading Start. Start the machine and apply full throttle. Release
the throttle and check that the cutting attachment stops and remains at a standstill. If the
cutting attachment rotates with the throttle in the idle position then the carburettor idle
setting must be checked.
8.2
Engine switch
Press down the "O" side of the engine switch to stop the engine.
Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when you move the engine switch to the stop
setting.
8.3
Muffler
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum and to direct exhaust fumes away
from the user.
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to the machine.
The inside of the muffler contain chemicals that may be carcinogenic. Avoid
contact with these elements in the event of a damaged muffler.
Bear in mind that: The exhaust fumes from the engine are hot and may
contain sparks which can start a fire. Never start the machine indoors or near
combustible material!
