SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE:
1.To avoid personal injury or property damage use extreme care in handling
gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive.
Serious personal injury can occur when gasoline is spilled on yourself or
your clothes, which can ignite. Wash your skin and change clothes
immediately.
2.Use only an approved gasoline container.
3.Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a
plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your vehicle
before filling.
4.Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on
the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer
with a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
5.Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container
opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open
device.
6.Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.
7.Never fuel machine indoors because flammable vapors will accumulate in
the area.
8.Never remove gas cap or add fuel while engine is hot or running. Allow
engine to cool at least two minutes before refueling.
9.Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than 1 inch below bottom of
filler neck to provide for fuel expansion.
10.Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.
11.If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and equipment. Move
machine to another area. Wait 5 minutes before starting engine.
12.Never store the machine or fuel container near an open flame, spark or
pilot light as on a water heater, space heater, furnace, clothes dryer or
other gas appliances.
13.To reduce fire hazard, keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other
debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage and remove any fuel soaked
debris.
14.Allow machine to cool at least 5 minutes before storing.
3.Before and while moving backwards, look behind and down for small children.
4.Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, doorways, shrubs,trees, or
other objects that may obscure your vision of a child who may run into the string
trimmer.
5.Keep children away from hot or running engines. They can suffer burns from a
hot muffler.
6.Never allow children to operate this machine,read and understand the
instructions and safe operation practices in this manual and on the machine and
