Keep children and pets at least 50 feet from the work area and make sure they are under
•
the watchful care of a responsible adult.
Be alert and turn off the machine if children or pets enter the work area
•
Never allow children to operate the wood chipper.

GASOLINE SAFETY
PRECAUTION
Gasoline is a highly flammable liquid. Gasoline also emits flammable vapor that can easily
ignite and cause a fire or explosion. Never overlook the dangers of gasoline. Always follow
these precautions:
Never start the engine in an enclosed area or without proper ventilation, as engine
•
exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is an odorless, tasteless, and deadly poisonous
gas.
Store all fuel and oil in containers specifically designed and approved for this purpose
•
and keep them away from heat and open flames, and out of reach of children.
Replace fuel lines and rubber washers when worn or damaged and after 5 years of use.
•
Fill the gas tank outdoors with the engine off and allow the engine to cool completely.
•
Do not handle gasoline if you or someone nearby is smoking, or if you are near
something that could cause it to ignite or explode. Reinstall the fuel tank cap and fuel
container cap securely.
If you spill gas, do not attempt to start the engine. Move the machine away from the spill
•
area and avoid creating any ignition source until the gas vapors have dissipated. Clean
up any spilled fuel to avoid a fire hazard and properly dispose of waste.
Allow the engine to cool completely before storing it in any enclosure. Never store a
•
machine that has gas in the tank, or a fuel container, near an open flame or spark, such
as a water heater, space heater, clothes dryer, or oven.
Never make adjustments or repairs while the engine is running. Turn off the engine,
•
disconnect the spark plug wire, keeping it away from the spark plug to prevent accidental
starts, wait 5 minutes before making adjustments or repairs.
Never tamper with the engine regulator settings. The regulator controls the maximum
•
safe operating speed and protects the motor. Speeding the engine is dangerous and will
cause damage to the engine and the other moving parts of the machine. If Required,
consult your authorized dealer for Motor regulator settings.
