DO NOT attempt to clean or service the machine while it is running.
Rotating parts can cause severe injury.
2.4.2
DO NOT crank a flooded engine with the spark plug removed on gasoline-
powered engines. Fuel trapped in the cylinder will squirt out the spark plug opening.

the smell of gasoline is present. A stray spark could ignite fumes.

parts, especially in enclosed areas. Fumes from fuels and solvents can become
explosive.
