Exhaust fumes safety
WARNING: Read the warning instructions
that follow before you use the product.
• Long-term inhalation of exhaust fumes can cause
health problems.
• The exhaust fumes from the engine contain carbon
monoxide which is an odourless, poisonous and very
dangerous gas. Because carbon monoxide is
odourless and cannot be seen, it is not possible to
sense it. A symptom of carbon monoxide poisoning
is dizziness, but it is possible that a person becomes
unconscious without warning if the quantity or
concentration of carbon monoxide is sufficient.
• Exhaust fumes that you can see or smell also
contain carbon monoxide.
• Do not use a combustion engine product indoors or
in areas that do not have sufficient airflow.
• Do not breathe the exhaust fumes.
• Make sure that the airflow in the work area is
sufficient. This is very important when you operate
the product in enclosed work areas where exhaust
fumes can easily collect.
Fuel safety
WARNING: Read the warning instructions
that follow before you use the product.
• Fuel is flammable and the fumes are explosive. Be
careful with fuel to prevent injury, fire and explosion.
• Do not breathe in the fuel fumes. The fuel fumes are
poisonous and can cause injury. Make sure that the
airflow is sufficient.
• Do not remove the fuel tank cap or fill the fuel tank
when the engine is on.
• Let the engine become cool before you refuel.
• Do not fill fuel in an indoor area. Not sufficient airflow
can cause injury or death because of asphyxiation or
carbon monoxide.
• Do not smoke near the fuel or the engine.
• Do not put hot objects near the fuel or the engine.
• Do not fill fuel near sparks or flames.
• Before you refuel, open the fuel tank cap slowly and

not tightened, there is a risk of fire.
