To ensure safe operation
Fire and Burn Hazard
Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode.
Use extreme care when handling gasoline. Keep gasoline out of reach
of children.
• Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose.
• Refuel outdoors only, and do not smoke while refuelling or handling
fuel.
• Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap of the fuel
tank or add petrol while the engine is running or when the engine is
hot.
• If gasoline is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the
grass/weed trimmer away from the area of spillage and avoid
creating any source of ignition until gasoline vapours have dissipated.
• Tighten all fuel tanks and container caps securely.
When you start the engine after refueling, be sure to start the engine
at least 3 m (10 feet) away from the refueling spot.
• Never store the grass/weed trimmer with gasoline in the tank inside a
building where fumes may reach an open flame, spark or high
temperature source.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
• To reduce the fire hazard, keep the grass/weed trimmer, especially
the engine, muffler, the gasoline storage area as well, free of grass,
leaves, or excessive grease.
Do not leave containers of vegetable matters in or near a building.
• If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors, with
a cold engine.
