Safety Rules
HANDLING FUEL SAFELY
Check saw for fuel leaks before starting.
Check regularly for leaks from the fuel caps and fuel lines and do not start saw if
any leaks are found.
Avoid spilling fuel on yourself or on the saw.
Use only approved containers to transport and store fuel. If fuel is spilled on the
saw, wipe up the spillage and allow the rest to evaporate. If fuel is spilled on
yourself or your clothes, immediately remove contaminated clothing and wash any
part of your body that has contacted fuel with soap and warm water.
Fuel vapors are highly flammable.
Turn off the saw, lock the off/on switch in the “STOP” position, and allow the engine
to cool a few minutes before fueling. Do not smoke or refuel the saw in close
proximity to any ignition sources. Move the saw at least 3 m (10 ft) from the fueling
area before restarting it.
