2.9 Special Instructions
The fuel used in the trimmer has the following
hazardous properties:
• The fluid and its vapour are poisonous.
• Can cause eye and skin irritation.
• Can cause breathing problems.
• Is highly inflammable.
When using compressed air, do not direct the jet
towards your body. Air can penetrate into the blood
stream, which can endanger life.
Wear protective earplugs or earmuffs when test
running.
After test running, do not touch the muffler until
it has cooled down. Risk of burns. Use protective
gloves when working with the muffler.
Do not start the trimmer unless the clutch and
clutch cover are mounted together with the shaft
and angle gear. Otherwise the clutch may loosen
and cause personal injury.
Do not clean the air filter with petrol.
Exercise care to ensure the starter spring does not
fly out and cause personal injury. Wear protective
glasses. If the spring tension is activated on the
starter pulley when it is to be taken up, the spring
can fly out and cause personal injury.
Keep in mind the fire risk. The trimmer may emit
sparks, which cause ignition.
