under certain conditions. To prevent fire hazards,
do not place flammable objects close to the
engine.

make sure the tank cap is closed properly and
secured. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area
is dry before starting the engine.
10. Never operate gasoline-powered blowers in an
enclosed or confined area. Exhaust contains
