INTRODUCTION
Flammable liquids
When handling flammable liquids:
• Do not smoke.
• Keep away from unshielded light sources and naked
flames.
Fuels often have a low flash point and are readily ignited.
Never attempt to extinguish burning liquids with water.
Use:
• Dry powder
• With carbon dioxide
• With foam
Water used for extinguishing purposes would vaporize in-
stantaneously on contact with burning substances and
spread burning oil, for example, over a wide area. Water
generates short circuits in the electrical system, possibly
producing new hazards.

Stay away from open flames during refilling of hydraulic
oil or fuel.
Fuel or oil splashes can cause slipping and therefore acci-
dents; clean immediately and accurately the areas even-
tually smeared.
Always tighten the safety plugs of fuel tank and hydraulic
oil tank firmly.
Never use fuel to clean the machine parts eventually
smeared with oil or dust.
Use a non-inflammable product for cleaning parts.
Always perform fuel or oil refilling in well aired and venti-
lated areas.

During refuelling hold the pistol firmly and keep it always
in contact with the filler neck until the end of the refuelling,
to avoid sparkles due to static electricity.
Do not overfill the tank but leave a space for fuel expan-
sion.
Never refuel when the engine is running.
Take all the necessary safety measures when welding,
grinding or when working near a naked flame.
