welding sparks, or any other
source of heat or fire which might
ignite the fuel.
b. Smoking while operating the
hedge-trimmer or refilling its fuel
tank is extremely dangerous.
Always be sure to keep lit
cigarettes away from the hedge-

c. 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

d. If any fuel spillage occurs during
refueling, use a dry rag to wipe up
spills before turning the engine
back on again.
e. After refueling, screw the fuel cap
back tightly onto the fuel tank and
then carry the hedge-trimmer to a
spot 3m or more away from where
it was refueled before turning on
the engine.
