SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Fuel safety
(Refuelling/Fuel mixture/Storage.)
• Never refuel the machine while the engine is running.
• Make sure there is plenty of ventilation when refuelling or
mixing fuel (gasoline and 2-stroke oil).
• Move the machine at least 10 ft (3 m) from the refuelling
point before starting it.
• Never start the machine:
- If you have spilled fuel on it. Wipe off the spillage and allow
remaining fuel to evaporate.
- If you have spilled fuel on yourself or your clothes, change
your clothes. Wash any part of your body that has come in
contact with fuel. Use soap and water.
- If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks
from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
• Store and transport the machine and fuel so that there is
no risk of any leakage or fumes coming into contact with
sparks or naked flames, for example, from electrical
machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/switches or
boilers.
• Always store fuel in an approved container designed for
that purpose.
• When storing the machine for long periods the fuel tank
must be emptied. Contact your local gas station to find out
where to dispose of excess fuel.
• Always use a Husqvarna fuel container with an anti-spill
valve.
General working instructions
Basic safety rules
• Look around you:
- To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot affect
your control of the machine.
- To make sure that none of the above come into contact with
the cutting blade.
• Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense
fog, rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in bad
weather is tiring and can lead to dangerous conditions,
e.g. slippery surfaces.
• Never start to work with the power cutter before the
working area is clear and you have a firm foothold. Look
out for any obstacles with unexpected movement. Ensure
when cutting that no material can become loose and fall,
causing operating injury.Take great care when working on
sloping ground.
• Make sure that no clothes or parts of the body come in
contact with the cutting equipment when it is rotating.
• Keep at a safe distance from the cutting equipment when
it is rotating.
• The guard for the cutting equipment must always be on
when the machine is running.
• Ensure that the working area is sufficiently illuminated to
create a safe working environment.
• Always ensure you have a safe and stable working
position.
• Make sure that no pipes or electrical cables are routed in
the area to be cut.
