• Fill the tank before starting the engine. Do not remove the petrol filler cap and do not fill
the tank with engine running or still hot.
• Do not start the engine near spills. Keep the tool away from the spill and take precaution
until the spill is removed and the vapour has evaporated.
• Replace the petrol filler cap and the petrol container cap and make sure they are closed.
• When starting the engine immediately after filling the tank, keep a distance of at least 3
meters from the filling site.
• Do not store the tool with the petrol tank filled in a room where the petrol vapours may
come in contact with sparks or open flame.
• Allow the engine cool down before storage.
• To reduce the risk of fire, store the engine and petrol in a room free from leaves, cut grass
and other flammable objects.
• If you need to drain the petrol from the tank, do it outside with the engine cold.

gases may cause you to lose consciousness or death.
• Using the tool in a closed or insulated room may result in hazardous concentration of
poisonous gases in the inhaled air. For your safety, keep the room well ventilated.
• Do not use in places, where the exhaust gas may accumulate.
