To ensure safe operation
Child Safety
• Keep children indoors and supervised at all times when any outdoor
power head is being used nearby. Young children move quickly and
are attracted especially to the power head activity.
• Never assume children will remain where you last saw them. Be alert
and turn the power head off if children enter the area.
• Children should never be allowed to operate the power head, even
under adult supervision.
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 refuelling or handling
fuel.
• Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap of the fuel
tank or add petrol 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
power head 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 feet) away from the refueling spot.
• Never store the power head 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 power head, 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.
