Do not make contact with the muffler area while the engine is running. The muffler gets extremely hot
and can cause severe burns. Exhaust gases can ignite combustible items such as clothing or structures in
close proximity. Gases leaking from a worn muffler can heat up and damage the fuel tank resulting in a
fire and/or explosion.
DO NOT touch hot parts of the engine or muffler.
AVOID hot exhaust gases.
Keep a minimum of 5 ft (1.5m) clearance on all sides of the engine including the top.
The starter and other rotating parts of the engine can entangle hair, hands, clothing and
accessories.
NEVER operate with protective housing or covers removed.
DO NOT use while wearing loose clothing or jewellery that may get caught up
the starter or other rotating parts. Tie up long hair or wear hair net or cap.

Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and cover the tip with non-conducting
