2. Mix and pour fuel outdoors away from sparks or flames.
3. Do not smoke near fuel storage containers or the String Trimmer.
Do not smoke while operating the String Trimmer.

fueling location before starting the engine.
7. Do not remove the fuel tank cap while the engine is running or
immediately after stopping the engine.
