Transporting the power tool –
Always shut off the engine.
To reduce the risk of serious burn 
injuries, avoid touching hot parts of the 
machine, especially the surface of the 
muffler.
Transporting by vehicle: When 
transporting in a vehicle, properly secure 
your power tool to prevent turnover and 
damage. Empty the fuel tank to avoid 
any risk of spillage.
When the power tool is not in use, shut it 
off and put it down so it cannot endanger 
others.
Stop the Engine Before Refueling
Gasoline is an 
extremely flammable 
fuel. Keep clear of naked 
flames and fire. Take care 
not to spill any fuel. 
Do not refuel while the 
engine is still hot since fuel may overflow 
and catch fire.
Open the fuel cap carefully to allow any 
pressure build-up in the tank to release 
slowly and avoid fuel spillage.
Fuel your machine in a well-ventilated 
area, outdoors only. If you spill fuel, wipe 
it off the machine immediately – if fuel 
gets on your clothing, change 
immediately.
After Refueling
Tighten the fuel tank cap 
by hand with as much 
force as possible.
Unit vibrations can cause 
an improperly tightened 
fuel cap to loosen or come off and spill 
quantities of fuel.
To avoid risk of serious or fatal burn 
injuries, check for leakage. If fuel 
leakage is found, do not start or run the 
engine until leak is fixed.
