Fire and Explosion Hazards
Chemical Hazards
Petrol is highly flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Only store petrol
only in an appropriate container! Never refuel a petrol engine while it is operating or
before it has cooled down! Never refuel in the vicinity of sparks, open flames or
smoking persons! Avoid overflowing and spilling petrol when refuelling!
When refuelling, ensure you are in a safe position for the machine and the operator
in order to avoid petrol spills! If fuel is spilled, make sure that the area on which you
start the machine is dry, because gasoline or gasoline vapours can ignite. Make sure
that the fuel cap is securely closed after refuelling!
Do not operate or refuel any diesel or petrol engine in poorly ventilated areas, such
as deep holes or enclosed spaces! Inhalation of fuel vapours and exhaust fumes
can cause death. If you are working in trenches, ensure there is adequate
ventilation! If necessary, are set up fans.
Mineral oils and fuels are harmful to health. Therefore you should always wear
suitable protective equipment, such as Safety goggles and protective gloves, when
handling any these substances. Direct skin contact should be avoided.
In the event of skin contact: wash immediately with soap and water. If fuel or oil
comes into contact with your eye, you must seek immediate medical attention.
Petroleum and fossil fuels are harmful to the environment. Only dispose of
discharged and spilled mineral oils or fuels in accordance with the applicable local
and national environmental regulations.
