Gasoline is an extremely

not spill any fuel – do not
smoke.
Always shut off the engine before

Do not fuel a hot engine – fuel may spill
and cause a fire.
Always remove the power tool from your
back and put it on the ground before
refueling. Fuel the unit only when it is
standing securely on the ground.
Open the fuel cap carefully to allow any
pressure build-up in the tank to release
slowly and avoid fuel spillage.
Only refuel the machine in a well
ventilated place. If fuel has been spilled,
immediately clean the machine – do not
allow your clothes to be splashed with
fuel. If that happens, change your
clothes at once.
Check for fuel leakage!
Never start the engine if
fuel has been spilled or is
leaking – Fatal burns may
result!
