Danger of fire and burn injuries.
Always use extreme care when handling fuel! Fuel is highly flammable.
Never attempt to fuel the line trimmer if the fuel system components are damaged or are
leaking.
Never attempt the refuel the engine while it is running or still warm, allow it to cool before
fuelling.
Never smoke or light any fires near the line trimmer or fuels.

Never place flammable material close the engine muffler.
Never operate the line trimmer without a properly functioning muffler and spark arrestor
installed.
Never operate the line trimmer unless it is properly assembled and in good working
condition.
Do not use petrol which contains ethanol or methanol as it may damage the fuel lines and
other engine parts.
Mix only enough fuel for your immediate needs. If fuel must be stored longer than 30 days,
it should first be treated with a stabilizer or similar product.
5.4
Observance while operating
Operate alone without assistance. Do not allow anyone to enter within a 15- meter radius
from the operator.
If several grass trimmers are in use simultaneously, keep minimum 15 meter distance
from each operator.
Avoid stones and stumps. This may damage the cutting line. Should you hit something
accidentally, stop engine and check the cutting line for damage.
An operator must have a firm footing when using a grass t. Do not operate during rain.
Be sure that a cutting head is attached firmly in an adequate position.
Do not cut tri close to an edge of a fence, a cliff or such hard objects.
When removing foreign objects wound around a cutting head, a gear case or a guard, be
sure to stop an engine by an ignition switch. While an engine is running, never put your
hands etc. close to a cutting line even if it is not rotating. Your motion may let a throttle
cable pulled to suddenly raise an engine revolution, which may get you hurt by a rotating
cutting line.
