Gasoline Engine Safety; Maintenance/Service - Milwaukee 4555-22 Manuel D'utilisateur

MACHINE USE AND CARE
Gasoline operated machines are powerful and can
cause serious injury if not used in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions. To reduce the risk
of injury:
14. BE THOROUGHLY FAMILIAR WITH CONTROLS.
Know how to stop the machine and relieve system
pressure quickly.
15. KEEP THE AREA OF OPERATION CLEAR OF ALL
PERSONS. Small children and pets should be kept
a safe distance from work area.
16. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. NEVER USE
IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE. Normal sparking
of the motor could ignite fumes. Keep work area well
lit.
17. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The
use of improper accessories may cause risk of
injury.
18. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before using the
machine, a guard, or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will
operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of mov-
ing parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other
conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or
other part that is damaged must be properly repaired
or replaced by an authorized service center to avoid
risk of personal injury.
19. NEVER STORE THE MACHINE INDOORS WITH FUEL
IN THE FUEL TANK. If the fuel tank has to be drained,
do this outdoors. Empty fuel tank and restrain the unit
from moving before transporting in a vehicle.

GASOLINE ENGINE SAFETY

Gasoline engines produce sparks and heat that are
capable of igniting combustible vapors or materials
and causing burn injuries, fire, or explosion. To reduce
the risk of injury, observe the following:
20. KEEP THE ENGINE AWAY FROM FLAMMABLES
AND OTHER COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. Keep
the engine free of grass, leaves, or grease to
reduce the chance of a fire hazard. Do not
operate around dry brush, twigs, cloth rags, or
other flammable materials. Make sure minimum
clearance of 3 feet is maintained from combustible
materials.
