Concerning the use of fuels
Fuels are inflammable and explosive.
Reduce the risk of explosion and fire as
follows:
• Turn off and cool the motor down before
filling the tank with fuel.
• Refrain from smoking and starting open
fires when handling fuels.
• Store and mix fuels in approved and cor-
respondingly labelled canisters.
• Store fuels in closed containers. Keep in
mind that fuels may also evaporate at
room temperature and collect on the floor
of closed rooms (risk of explosion).
• Do not open the tank lid or refill with pet-
rol when the motor is running or even
when it is hot.
• If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start
the motor.
• Start the machine at least nine metres
away from the fuelling location.
• If you need to empty the tank, do so out
in the open.
Fuels are toxic! They contain substances
that have an immediate toxic effect and
may also cause permanent damage to
your health. Take all precautionary meas-
ures to prevent your body from absorbing
any of these substances:
• Tank and siphon fuels only outdoors or in
well-ventilated rooms.
• Do not inhale fuel fumes.
• Avoid contact with eyes and skin. If con-
tact occurs, thoroughly rinse with water.
If contact with eyes occurs, seek immedi-
ate medical attention.
• Wear gloves when transferring fuel.
• When fuel has come into contact with
your clothes, change them immediately.
Clean your clothes before putting them
back on.
• Store fuels out of the reach of children.
When handled inappropriately, fuels may
cause damage to the environment:
• Use caution when siphoning fuels. Fuel
must never seep into the ground or the
sewage system.
• Dispose of any remaining fuel in an
appropriate manner. Never dispose of
fuel with regular household waste.
CAUTION! Risk of injury due to
vibrations!
Vibrations may, in partic-
ular for persons with circulation
problems, cause damage to blood
vessels and/or nerves.
If you notice any of the following
symptoms, stop working immedi-
ately and consult a doctor. Numb-
ness of body parts, loss of sense of
feeling, itching, pins and needles,
pain, changes in skin colour.
