To ensure safe operation
Fire and Burn Hazard
Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode.
Use extreme care when handling gasoline. Keep gasoline out of reach
of children.
• Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose.
• Refuel outdoors only, and do not smoke while refueling or handling
fuel.
• Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap of the fuel
tank or add gasoline while the engine is running or when the engine is
hot.
• If gasoline is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the
hedge trimmer away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any
source of ignition until gasoline vapours have dissipated.
• Tighten all fuel tanks and container caps securely.
• When you start the engine after refueling, be sure to start the engine
at least 3 m (10 ft.) away from the refueling spot.
• Never store the hedge trimmer with gasoline in the tank inside a
building where fumes may reach an open flame, spark or high
temperature source.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
• To reduce the fire hazard, keep the hedge trimmer, especially the
engine, muffler, the gasoline storage area as well, free of grass,
leaves, or excessive grease.
Do not leave containers of vegetable matters in or near a building.
• If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors, with
a cold engine.
