To ensure safe operation
Fire and Burn Hazard
Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode.
Use extreme care when handling gasoline. Keep gasoline out of reach
of children.
• Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose.
• Refuel outdoors only, and do not smoke while refueling or handling
fuel.
• Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap of the
fuel tank or add gasoline while the engine is running or when the
engine is hot.
• If gasoline is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the
handy blower away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any
source of ignition until gasoline vapours have dissipated.
• Tighten all fuel tanks and container caps securely.
• When you start the engine after refueling, be sure to start the engine
at least 3 m (10 ft.) away from the refueling spot.
• Never store the handy blower with gasoline in the tank inside a
building where fumes may reach an open flame, spark or high
temperature source.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
• To reduce the fire hazard, keep the handy blower, especially the
engine, muffler, the gasoline storage area as well, free of grass,
leaves, or excessive grease.
• If the fuel tank has be to drained, this should be done outdoors, with
a cold engine.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a colorless and
odorless gas. Breathing exhaust can cause loss of consciousness and
may lead to death.
• If you run the engine in an area that is confined, or even partially
enclosed area, the air you breathe could contain a dangerous
amount of exhaust gas.
• Replace faulty muffler.
• Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous
carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
