Safety Information
Safety with Gasoline - Powered Machines
Gasoline is a highly flammable liquid. Gasoline also gives off
flammable vapors that can be easily ignited and cause a fire or
explosion. Never overlook the hazards of gasoline. Always follow
these precautions:
• Never run the engine in an enclosed area or without proper
ventilation as the exhaust from the engine contains carbon
monoxide, which is an odorless, tasteless, and a deadly
poisonous gas.
• Store all fuel and oil in containers specifically designed and
approved for this purpose. Keep away from heat and open
flames, and out of the reach of children.
• Replace rubber fuel lines and grommets when worn or
damaged and after 5 years of use.
• Fill the gasoline tank outdoors with the engine off and allow
the engine to cool completely. Don’t handle gasoline if you or
anyone nearby is smoking, or if you’re near anything that could
cause it to ignite or explode. Replace the fuel tank cap and fuel
container cap securely.
Safety for Children and Pets
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the
presence of children and pets. Children are often attracted to the
machine and the chipping activity. Never assume that children
will remain where you last saw them. Always follow these
precautions:
• Keep children and pets at least 50 feet from the working area
and ensure they are under the watchful care of a responsible
adult.
• Be alert and turn the machine off if children or pets enter the
work area.
• Never allow children to operate the Wood Chipper.
