unnatural posture.
When the petrol cutting blade has been operated
for long hours, it may cause a circulatory disorder
due to vibration (Raynaud's disease). In this case,
it is impossible to specify any length of operation,
because it may dier from person to person. The
following factors can have an inuence on this
phenomenon: Circulatory disorders in the hands
of the operator, low outdoor temperatures, long
hours of operation. Therefore, it is recommended
to wear warm protective gloves, and to take
breaks at regular intervals.
The exhaust of internal combustion engines is
poisonous and can lead to suocation, among o
thers. It is not allowed to operate the
petrol cutting blade in closed or
poorly ventilated rooms.
Rell the gasoline tank only outdoors, or in
well-ventilated areas.
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are highly ammable.
Keep away from ammable materials and sources
of ignition, such as ovens or stoves.
Do not smoke while refueling or operating the
tool.
Immediately wipe away spilled gasoline.
Start the petrol cutting blade only
at a location far away from the place of refueling.
Always make sure that the cover of the fuel tank
is well closed. Look out for possible leakage.
When the engine is running or the engine is hot,
it is not allowed to open the cap of the fuel tank
