Safe Handling of Fuel
The engine of the Pole Pruner is designed to run on a two stroke oil/fuel mixture.
This fuel is highly flammable; never store cans of fuel or refill the fuel tank in any place where
there is a source of heat or fire, which might ignite the fuel.
Do not smoke whilst operating the Pole Pruner or refilling, keep lit cigarettes away from the Pole
Pruner at all times.
When refilling the fuel tank always stop the engine first and carefully make sure that there are no
sparks or naked flames anywhere nearby before refuelling.
If any fuel spillage occurs during refuelling, use a dry rag to wipe any fuel which has been spilled
onto the Pole Pruner before starting the engine.
After refuelling, screw the fuel cap back tightly onto the fuel tank and carry the Pole Pruner to a
spot 5 metres or more away from where it was refuelled before starting the engine.
