2. SAFETY

Petrol and its vapours are
extremely flammable and
explosive. Fire and explosion may
cause serious burns.
WHEN ADDING FUEL
• Switch the engine off and let it cool for at
least 2 minutes before you remove the fuel
tank cap.
• Fill the tank outside or in a well-ventilated
area. Do not overfill.
• Store petrol sufficiently far away from sparks,
open flame or other sources of ignition.
• Check the fuel lines, tank, cap and fittings for
damage or leaks. Replace if necessary.
WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE
• Make sure that the spark plug, exhaust
muffler, fuel tank cap and air cleaner (insert)
are in place.
• Do not crank the engine if the spark plug has
been removed.
• If you spill any fuel, wait to start the engine
until the fuel has evaporated.
WHEN OPERATING THE ENGINE
• Do not use the choke to stop the engine.
WHEN TRANSPORTING THE EQUIPMENT
• Transport the equipment WITH THE FUEL
TANK EMPTY.
WHEN STORING THE ENGINE/EQUIPMENT
WITH FUEL IN THE TANK
• Store far away from furnaces, stoves, boilers
and other appliances with pilot lights or other
sources of ignition. These could ignite petrol
vapours.
Sparks may be created when the
engine is cranked. Sparks can
ignite flammable gases in the area
and could cause an explosion or
fire.
• Only start the engine in a well-ventilated
area; do not use it in an explosive or
flammable environment or in enclosed areas.
• Do not use pressurised starter fluids the
vapours of which are flammable or explosive.

EN
Rapid retraction of the starter cord
("kickback") will pull your hand and arm
towards the engine faster than you can
react. This could result in breaks, grazes
and distorted joints.
• Pull the cord slowly when starting the engine,
until you feel resistance. Then pull quickly.
• Directly linked parts (blades and cogged
wheels, belt pulleys, etc.) must be safely
secured.
Rotating parts may catch hands, feet, hair,
clothing or tools. This could result in serious
injury (amputation and lacerations).
• Only operate the equipment with the covers
attached.
• Keep hands and feet at a safe distance from
rotating parts.
• Tie back long hair and remove jewellery
• Do not wear loose clothing that can be
caught in the machinery.
Engines produce toxic carbon
monoxide, which is poisonous,
colourless and odourless. This gas
causes dizziness, nausea and
death if inhaled.
• Always start the engine outside.
• Do not start the engine in enclosed spaces,
even if you open the windows and doors.
Running engines generate heat.
Their parts, particularly the exhaust
muffler, are especially hot.
Touching these parts can cause
serious burns.
Combustible debris, such as grass,
leaves, each, can ignite.
• Let the exhaust muffler, engine cylinder and
ribs, etc. cool down before you touch them.
•
Remove accumulated dirt and debris from
the area around the exhaust muffler and
cylinder.
