Fueling Instructions
Before Starting
Starting
Warning!
Fuel your power tool in well-ventilated
areas, outdoors. Always shut off the
engine and allow it to cool before refu-
eling. Gasoline vapor pressure may
build up inside the fuel tank depending
on the fuel used, the weather condi-
tions and the tank venting system.
In order to reduce the risk of burns and
other personal injury from escaping gas
vapor and fumes, remove the fuel filler
cap on your power tool carefully so as
to allow any pressure build-up in the
tank to release slowly. Never remove
the fuel filler cap while the engine is
running.
Select bare ground for fueling and
move at least 10 feet (3 m) from the
fueling spot before starting the engine.
Wipe off any spilled fuel before starting
your machine.
Warning!
Check for fuel leakage while refueling
and during operation. If fuel leakage is
found, do not start or run the engine
until the leak is fixed and any spilled
fuel has been wiped away. Take care
not to get fuel on your clothing. If this
happens, change your clothing
immediately.
Unit vibrations can cause
an improperly tightened
fuel filler cap to loosen or
come off and spill quanti-
ties of fuel. In order to
reduce the risk of fuel
spillage and fire, tighten
the fuel filler cap by hand
as securely as possible.
Warning!
Always check your power tool for
proper condition and operation before
starting, particularly the throttle trigger,
throttle trigger interlock and stop switch.
The throttle trigger must move freely.
Never attempt to modify the controls or
safety devices.
Warning!
Never use a power tool that is damaged
or not properly maintained.
Warning!
Check that the spark plug boot is
securely mounted on the spark plug – a
loose boot may cause arcing that could
ignite combustible fumes and cause a
fire.
Warning!
Keep the handles clean and dry at all
times; it is particularly important to keep
them free of moisture, pitch, oil, grease
or resin in order for you to maintain a
firm grip and properly control your
power tool.
Warning!
Start the engine at least 10 feet
(3 meters) from the fueling spot, out-
doors only.
Warning!
Your power tool is a one-person
machine. Do not allow other persons in
the general work area, even when
starting.
For specific starting instructions, see
the appropriate section of your manual.
Place the power tool on firm ground or
other solid surface in an open area.
Maintain good balance and secure
footing.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of
control, do not attempt to "drop start"
your power tool.
Warning!
When you pull the starter grip, do not
wrap the starter rope around your hand.
Do not let the grip snap back, but guide
the starter rope to rewind it properly.
Failure to follow this procedure may
result in injury to your hand or fingers
and may damage the starter
mechanism.
