2.4. SECURITY WHEN USING FUEL
IMPORTANT: The fuel used is highly inflammable.
If the fuel or the machine catch fire, fight the flames
with a dry dust fire extinguisher.
Petrol and oil are dangerous, avoid contact
of oil or petrol with skin and eyes. Do not
inhalate or drink. If oil or petrol has been
drunk, visit your doctor straight away. If you come into
contact with petrol or oil, clean yourself with plenty of
water and soap as soon as possible. If after this, you
still feel your eyes or skin are itchy visit your doctor
straight away.
Gasoline and oil are extremely flammable
and explosive under certain conditions. Do
not smoke while preparing or refueling.
Do not refill fuel in areas where flames,
sparks or hot sources are. Refill only in
ventilated areas with engine off.
Do not overfill the fuel to try to overfill the fuel tank. In
case of fuel leakage, eliminate these before starting
the machine, do not attempt to start the engine but
move the machine away from the area of spillage
and avoid creating any source of ignition until petrol
vapours have dissipated.
Do not refill fuel in closed areas or near flames.
Refill fuel before to start the machine. Do not unscrew
the combustible tank cap while the engine is running

period exceeding two months, remove and substitute
the petrol before using the machine.
