Concerning the use of fuels
Fuels are inflammable and explosive. Reduce the risk of explosion and fire as follows:
• Turn off and cool the motor down before filling the tank with fuel.
• Refrain from smoking and starting open fires when handling fuels.
• Store and mix fuels in approved and correspondingly labelled canisters.
• Store fuels in closed containers. Keep in mind that fuels may also evaporate at room tem-
perature and collect on the floor of closed rooms (risk of explosion).
• Do not open the tank lid or refill with petrol when the motor is running or even when it is hot.
• If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the motor.
• Start the machine at least nine metres away from the fuelling location.
• If you need to empty the tank, do so out in the open.
Fuels are toxic! They contain substances that have an immediate toxic effect and may
also cause permanent damage to your health. Take all precautionary measures to pre-
vent your body from absorbing any of these substances:
• Tank and siphon fuels only outdoors or in well-ventilated rooms.
• Do not inhale fuel fumes.
• Avoid contact with eyes and skin. If contact occurs, thoroughly rinse with water. If contact
with eyes occurs, seek immediate medical attention.
