Safety warnings
Fuel handling
Fuel vapour pressure may build up inside the fuel tank depending
>
on the fuel used, weather conditions and the tank venting system.
To reduce the risk of burns and other personal injuries, remove
the filter cap carefully to allow any pressure build up to release
slowly.
Fuel and fuel vapour are highly flammable. Take care when
>
handling fuel and chain oil.
Be aware of fire risks, explosion and inhalation risks.
>
Do not smoke while operating the product, handling fuel or near
>
fuel.
Ensure the spark plug lead is secure, a loose lead may cause
>
electrical arcing that could ignite combustible fumes and cause
a fire or explosion.
Do always switch off the engine first before refilling the fuel or
>
oil tanks.
Do keep chain oil levels topped up, failure to maintain oil levels
>
will damage your product and shorten the chain life.
Do check regularly for leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
>
Do use caution when handling fuel. To avoid any accidental fires,
>
move the product at least 3 metres (10’) from the fuelling point
before starting the engine.
Do tighten the fuel cap thoroughly after refilling the fuel tank.
>
Do not operate the product if it is leaking fuel or chain oil.
>
Do not remove the fuel tank cap while the engine is running.
>
Do not store cans of fuel or refill the fuel tank in any place where
>
there is a boiler, stove, wood fire, electrical sparks, welding
sparks, or other sources of heat or fire which might ignite the
fuel.
If any fuel spillage occurs during refuelling, use a dry rag to wipe
>
up spills and allow remaining fuel to evaporate before turning
the engine on again.
If you have spilt fuel on yourself or on your clothes, change your
>
clothes and wash any part of your body that has come in contact
with fuel before turning the engine on again.
If fuel is ignited, put out the fire with a dry powder fire
>
extinguisher.
