Explosion and fire hazard,
continued
Warning
Fuel is highly flammable, and it's vapors can
explode if ignited, which can cause serious injury
or death. To reduce such risks of fire or explosion:
Store fuel only in containers that are specifically
designed and approved for storage of fuel.
Empty fuel containers must be properly taken
care of and sent back to the retailer.
Operate the machine with the fuel cap securely
in place. Never remove the fuel cap or add
fuel when the engine is hot. Stop the engine
and allow it to cool before adding fuel. When
opening the fuel cap, always loosen the cap
slowly to relieve any pressure in the tank. Do not
overfill the tank.
Always mix and add fuel in a clean and well-
ventilated area. Make sure that this outdoor
area is free from any flames or sparks. Never
smoke while fuelling, mixing fuel, operating or
servicing the machine. Avoid spilling fuel. Wipe
up any fuel that is spilled on the machine. Fill
the tank at least ten meters (30 feet) away from
where you intend to use the machine.
Do not use a machine that is leaking fuel. Check
regularly for any leakage.
To minimize the risk of fuel leakage during
transportation, ensure that the machine is in an
upright position during transportation.
Do not use the machine near flammable
materials, fumes or dust. During breaks in work,
do not place the machine near flammable
materials.
Do not operate the machine near any materials
that create sparks. Remove all hot objects
and objects that create sparks prior to using
machine.
Do not operate the machine in an explosive
environment.
Protect your skin from contact with fuel.
Electrical/Concealed object
hazards
Warning
The machine is not electrically insulated. If the
machine comes in contact with electricity, serious
injuries or death may result.
To reduce the risk of injury or death, never
break near any electric wiring or other source of
electricity.
Make sure that there are no concealed wires or
other sources of electricity.
Warning
During breaking or hammering, concealed wires
and pipes constitute a danger that can result in
serious injury.
Before you start breaking, check the
composition of the material you are to work on.
Watch out for concealed electrical wiring, water,
sewage and gas pipes and phone lines.
If the tool seems to have hit a concealed object,
immediately switch off the machine.
Make sure that there is no danger before
continuing.
Projectile hazard
Warning
During breaking or hammering, splinters or other
particles of rock may become projectiles and cause
bodily injury by striking the operator or other
persons.
Use approved personal protective equipment,
including impact resistant safety glasses with
side protection, to reduce the risk of being
injured by a projectile.
