2.3 Fuel, Lubricants, and Coolants / Filling the tank

• Before you fill the tank, go to a a safe and level area. It is prohibited to fill

the tank on a scaffolding, a mound of material or similar elevated struc-

ture!

• Turn off the motor before you fill the tank of the cut-off saw.

• Smoking and open fires are not permitted (1).

• Let the motor cool down before you fill the tank.

• Fuels can contain solvent-like substances. Avoid skin and eye contact with

mineral products. When filling the tank, wear gloves (not work gloves).

Change and wash your clothing more often. Do not inhale fuel vapors. Inhal-

ing fuel vapors can damage your health.

• Do not spill fuel. If you have spilled fuel, clean the cut-off saw immediately.

Avoid getting fuel on your clothing. Should you spill fuel on your clothing,

change your clothes immediately.

• Make every effort to ensure that you do not allow fuel to soak into the ground

(environmental protection). Use a suitable base.

• Do not fill the tank in closed rooms. Fuel vapors accumulate near the floor

(danger of explosion).

• Tightly close the screw plug on the fuel tank.

• To start the cut-off saw, go to another location (at least 3 meters (10 feet)

away from the place where you filled the tank) (2), however not in the extend-

ed swing area (direction of flying sparks) of the cutting disc.

• Fuels cannot be stored indefinitely. Purchase only enough fuel as you can

possibly use in the foreseeable future.

always pour oil into

the mixing container and then

the gasoline.
