injury when inhaled or allowed to come in contact
with the skin. For this reason observe caution when
handling fuel and make sure there is adequate
ventilation.

Remember the risk of fire!
• To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury, handle fuel with
care. It is highly flammable.
• Mix, store and transport fuel in a container approved for
gasoline (Fig. 8).
• Mix fuel outdoors where there are no sparks or flames.
• Select bare ground, stop engine, and allow to cool before
refuelling.
• Loosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to keep fuel
from escaping around the cap.
• Tighten fuel cap securely after refuelling. Unit vibration can
cause an improperly tightened fuel cap to loosen or come off
8
and spill quantities of fuel.
• Wipe spilled fuel from the unit and allow remaining fuel to
evaporate. Move 10 feet (3 m) away from refuelling site before
9
starting engine (Fig. 9).
• Never attempt to burn off spilled fuel under any circumstances.
• Do not smoke while handling fuel or while operating the brush
cutter.
• Store fuel in a cool, dry, well ventilated place.
• Never place the brush cutter in a combustible area such as dry
leaves, straw, paper, etc.
• Store the unit and fuel in an area where fuel vapors cannot
reach sparks or open flames from water heaters, electric
motors or switches, furnaces, etc.
• Never take the cap off the tank when the engine is running.
• Never use fuel for cleaning operations.
• Take care not to get fuel on your clothing. If you have spilt fuel
on yourself or your clothes, change your clothes. Wash any part
of your body that has come in contact with fuel. Use soap and
water.
• Don't expose fuel tank to direct sunlight.
• Keep fuel out of reach of children.
