SAFETY 

 

 

General Safety Information 

 

Keep hands, feet, strings and ties away from all moving 

parts while the machine is in operation. The exhaust system 
gets very hot so keep hands, clothing and any items that can 
burn away from the engine, engine manifold, and muffler 
while hot.  

PowerBuff machines are built tough and durable, 

however do not abuse the machine and the machine won’t 
abuse you. With proper care and maintenance this unit will 
give you trouble free operations for the years to come.

 

 

Warning: Lethal Exhaust Gases 

 

Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon 

monoxide. Carbon monoxide is odorless, colorless, 
tasteless, and can cause death if inhaled.  Avoid 
inhaling exhaust fumes and never run the engine in a 
closed building or confined area without proper 
ventilation.  

Although LPG burns more efficiently and emits 

less carbon monoxide than gasoline, some carbon 
monoxide is produced. Avoid inhaling exhaust gases - 
especially over prolonged periods of time. Do not 
allow engine to run unattended.
