Never refuel when the engine is running.
Do not smoke during refuelling.
Take all the necessary safety measures when weld-
ing, grinding or when working near a naked flame.

disconnect the negative (-) cable first;
- to reconnect the battery cables, always connect
the negative (-) cable last;
- never short-circuit the battery clamps with metal
objects;
- do not weld, grind or smoke near a battery.
The engine exhaust may produce sparks.
Before using the machine in an area which may
contain inflammable vapours, ensure that there is
good ventilation.
Always keep a fire extinguisher available on the
machine.
Make sure that it is properly maintained in conform-
ity with the manufacturer’s instructions.
