SAFETY RULES

Fuel Handling

WARNING: Gasoline is an extremely flammable fuel.

Use extreme caution when handling gasoline or fuel

mix. Do not smoke or bring any fire or flame near the

fuel or the hedge trimmer (Fig. 7).

• To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury, handle fuel with

care. It is highly flammable.

• Mix and store fuel in a container approved for gasoline (Fig. 8).

• Mix fuel outdoors where there are no sparks or flames.

• Select bare ground, stop engine, and allow to cool before

refueling.

• Loosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to keep fuel

from escaping around the cap.

• Tighten fuel cap securely after refueling. Unit vibration can

cause an improperly tightened fuel cap to loosen or come off

and spill quantities of fuel.

• Wipe spilled fuel from the unit. Move 10 feet (3m) away from

refueling site before starting engine (Fig. 9).

• Never attempt to burn off spilled fuel under any circumstances.

• Do not smoke while handling fuel or while operating the hedge

trimmer.

• Store fuel in a cool, dry, well ventilated place.

• Never place the hedge trimmer in a combustible area such as

dry leaves, straw, paper, etc.

• Store the unit and fuel in an area where fuel vapors cannot

reach sparks or open flames from water heaters, electric

motors or switches, furnaces, etc.

• Never take the cap off the tank when the engine is running.

• Never use fuel for cleaning operations.

• Take care not to get fuel on your clothing.

hands when the engine is running. Use a firm grip

with thumbs and fingers encircling the hedge

trimmer handles (Fig. 10).

• Keep all parts of your body away from the hedge trimmer when

the engine is running.

• Always carry the hedge trimmer with the engine stopped the

blade to the rear, and the muffler away from your body. When

transporting your hedge trimmer, use the appropriate blade

cover (Fig. 11). When transporting in a vehicle, keep blade

covered with the blade cover. Properly secure your hedge trim-

mer to prevent turnover, fuel spillage and damage to the hedge

trimmer.

•

Do not operate a hedge trimmer with one hand! Serious

injury to the operator, helpers, bystanders, or any combination

of these persons may result from one-handed operation.

A hedge trimmer is intended for two-handed use.

not contacting any object.
