Storage
Store the machine securely so that it cannot tilt, fall or slip.
Storage location
After operation, allow the machine to cool and then store it in a sealed-off, clean
and dry location protected against frost and inaccessible to children.
Vibrations
When manually operated machines are intensively used, long-term damage
caused by vibrations cannot be precluded.
Observe the relevant legal instructions and guidelines to minimize vibration
stress.
Details on vibration stress associated with the machine can be found in the
chapter Technical Data.
3.6 Safety during the operation of combustion engines
Checking for signs of damage
Check the engine while switched off for leaks and cracks in the fuel line, tank and
fuel cap at least once per work shift.
Do not operate the machine if there is visible damage or defects.
Have any damage or defects eliminated immediately.
Dangers during operation
Combustion engines can be dangerous, particularly during operation and when
refueling.
Read and follow all safety instructions. Otherwise there is a risk of personal injury
and/or damage to property!
Do not start the engine near spilt fuel or if you smell fuel – this may cause an
explosion!
 Remove the machine from such areas.
 Remove the spilt fuel immediately!
Do not change the engine speed
Do not change the preset engine speed, as this may cause engine damage.
You may only change the idle speed. The idle speed must be set such that the
cutting blade does not rotate while the engine is idling.
