Refuelling

smoke.

(environmental protection).
Clean the Hedge Trimmer immediately after fuel has been spilt.
- Do not spill any fuel onto the engine. Wipe up if necessary to avoid fire.
- Avoid any fuel contact with your clothing. Change your clothing instantly if fuel
has been spilt on it (to prevent clothing catching fire).

fastened and does not leak.
- Carefully tighten the fuel tank cap. Change location to start the engine (at least

of explosions.)
- Transport and store fuel only in approved containers. Make sure the fuel stored is
not accessible to children.

the fuel tank.
