Before refilling the tank, stop the engine
and allow it to cool.
Refilling with petrol must be performed
before the engine is started. When the
engine is running or is hot, the tank cap
must not be removed and the tank must
not be refilled with petrol.
Do not overfill the fuel tank!
To give the fuel room to expand,
never fill the fuel tank past the
lower edge of the filler neck.
Observe the additional
instructions in the engine
instruction manual.
If petrol is spilled, the engine
must only be started after the petrol-
contaminated area has been cleaned. All
attempts at starting must be avoided until
the petrol fumes have dispersed (wipe
dry).
Any spilt fuel must be wiped up
immediately.
Clothing must be changed if it comes into
contact with petrol.
Never store the machine with petrol in the
tank inside a building. The resulting petrol
fumes could come into contact with naked
flames or sparks and could be ignited.
If it is necessary to drain the tank, this must
be done out of doors.
4.3 Clothing and equipment
Always wear sturdy footwear
with high-grip soles when
working. Never work barefoot
or, for example, in sandals.
Always wear close-fitting
protective gloves made of a
puncture- and cut-resistant
32
material with a closed cuff to protect
against mechanical risks such as
punctures and cuts during work,
maintenance work, when transporting the
chipper and when rectifying faults. This
reduces the risk of hand injuries when
inserting long or multi-piece branches and
during maintenance. Suitable protective
gloves are tested in accordance with
standard EN 388 or national regulations
and are commercially available with the
appropriate labelling.
Always wear close-fitting safety
glasses when working.
Suitable safety glasses are
tested for mechanical strength
in accordance with EN 166 or
national regulations and
available commercially with the
corresponding marking.
Always wear hearing protection
when working.
Suitable hearing protection is
tested in accordance with
EN 352 or national regulations
and available commercially with
the corresponding marking.
Wear both at all times.
Wear suitable, close-fitting
clothing when working with the
machine, e.g. overalls, but not
work coats. Do not wear
scarves, ties, jewellery, clothing with
dangling straps or cords or other
protruding articles of clothing when
working with the machine.
Long hair must be tied up and secured
(headscarf, cap, etc.) at all times when
operating or performing work on the
machine.
4.4 Transporting the machine
Always wear protective gloves ( 4.3) in
order to prevent injuries due to sharp-
edged and hot components.
Do not transport the machine with the
engine running. Switch off the engine, let
the blades come to a standstill and remove
the spark plug socket prior to transport.
Only transport the machine once the
engine has cooled down and with an
empty fuel tank.
Only transport the machine with the feed
chute properly fitted.
Risk of injury!
The user may injure themselves on
exposed blades.
Pay particular attention to the weight of the
machine, especially when tilting.
Use suitable loading aids (loading ramps,
lifters).
Secure the machine on the load floor using
adequately dimensioned fastening
material (straps, ropes etc.) at the
fastening points described in this
instruction manual. ( 12.3)
Push or pull the machine at walking pace
only. Do not tow!
When transporting the machine, always
observe regional legislation, especially
regarding load security and the transport
of objects on load floors.

familiar with the instruction manual are
permitted to use the machine.
