FUELS/REFUELING

Handling fuel
Utmost care is required when handling fuel. Fuel may contain substances
similar to solvents. Refuel either in a well ventilated room or outdoors. Do not
inhale fuel vapors, avoid any contact of fuel or oil with your skin.
Mineral oil products degrease your skin. If your skin comes in contact with
these substances repeatedly and for an extended period of time, it will
desiccate. Various skin diseases may result. In addition, allergic reactions
may occur. Eyes can be irritated by contact with oil. If oil comes into your
eyes, immediately wash them with clear water. If your eyes are still irritated,
see a doctor immediately.

mixture to assure the longer life of the tool.
