Danger of fire and burn injuries.
• Always use extreme care when handling fuel! Fuel is highly flammable.
• Never attempt to fuel the line trimmer if the fuel system components are
damaged or are leaking.
• Never attempt the refuel the engine while it is running or still warm, allow it
to cool before fueling.
• Never smoke or light any fires near the line trimmer or fuels.
• Always transport and store fuels in an approved container.
• Never place flammable material close the engine muffler.
• Never operate the line trimmer without a properly functioning muffler and
spark arrestor installed.
