English 4 Safety Precautions
► Never store the engine with petrol in the tank inside a
building.
￭ Breathing in petrol fumes may result in poisoning.
► Refuel in a well-ventilated place.
￭ The engine warms up while working. The petrol expands
and overpressure may occur in the fuel tank. Petrol may
gush out when the fuel tank cap is opened. The gushing
petrol may ignite. This may result in serious injury to the
user.
￭ Clothing that comes into contact with petrol is highly
inflammable. This may result in serious or fatal injury to
people and damage to property.
► If clothing comes into contact with petrol: change
clothing.
￭ Petrol poses a risk to the environment.
► Do not spill fuel.
► Dispose of petrol in accordance with regulations and in
an environmentally acceptable way.
￭ If petrol comes into contact with the skin or eyes, this may
cause irritation.
► Avoid contact with petrol.
► In the event of contact with the skin: wash the affected
areas with plenty of soap and water.
► In the event of contact with the eyes: rinse the eyes with
plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical
attention.
￭ Overflowed petrol may ignite. This may result in serious or
fatal injury to people and damage to property.
► Clean any surfaces contaminated with petrol.
► Avoid attempts at starting until the petrol fumes have
dispersed.
￭ The engine's ignition system generates sparks. Sparks
may escape and cause fires and explosions in highly
inflammable or explosive environments. This may result in
serious or fatal injury to people and damage to property.
► Use the spark plugs described in this instruction
manual.
► Screw in the spark plug and tighten firmly.
► Press on the spark plug socket firmly.
￭ The engine may be damaged if it is refuelled with petrol
