WARNINGS CONSIDERING HANDLING
OF FUEL
• The engine of the portable gas drill is
designed to run on a mixed fuel which
contains highly flammable gasoline. This
fuel is highly flammable and you should
never store cans of fuel or refill the tank of
the portable gas drill in any place where
there is a boiler, stove, wood fire,
electrical sparks, welding sparks, or any
other source of heat or fire which might
ignite the fuel.
• Smoking while operating the portable gas
drill or refilling its fuel tank is extremely
dangerous. Always be sure to keep lit
cigarettes away from the portable gas drill
at all times.
• When refilling the tank always turn off the
engine first and take a careful look around
to make sure that there are no sparks or
open flames anywhere nearby before
refueling.
• If any fuel spillage occurs during refueling,
always be sure to use a dry rag to wipe
any fuel which has been spilled onto the
portable gas drill before turning the engine
back on again.
• After refueling, screw the fuel cap back
tightly onto the fuel tank and then carry
the portable gas drill to a spot 10feet (3m)
or more away from where it was refueled
before turning on the engine.
