. If fuel was spilt on skin or clothing, immediately
wash thoroughly with soap and water, and
change the clothing. Clean your clothes before
putting them back on.
. Store fuels out of the reach of children.
When handled inappropriately, fuels may
cause damage to the environment:
. Use caution when siphoning fuels. Fuel must
never seep into the ground or the sewage
system.
. Dispose of any remaining fuel in an appropriate
manner. Never dispose of fuel with regular
household waste.
. Fuels may be stored only for a limited time.
Never buy more fuel than you plan on consuming
within the next few months.
Exhaust fumes:
. Exhaust fumes are toxic!
. The motor should never be run in an enclosed
space, as the exhaust can result in loss of
consciousness in a very short time, and can cause
death.
. Always operate the motor in a well ventilated
area.
Raynaud's phenomenon (white finger disease)
The frequent use of vibrating machines may
damage the nerves of persons suffering from bad
circulation (e. g. smokers, diabetics). In particular,
fingers, hands, wrists, and/or arms may show
the following symptoms, but they may not be
present: pain, prickling, stinging, falling asleep of
limbs, and paling of the skin.
. If you start sensing unusual impairment, stop
working immediately and consult a doctor.
You may reduce your risks considerably by
observing the following information:
. Keep your body and in particular, your hands
warm in cold weather. Working with cold hands is
the main trigger of Raynaud's phenomenon.
. Take regular breaks, and stretch and exercise
your hands. By doing so, you will increase your
circulation in your hands.
