2.2 General guidelines
Never let other people use the unit without ensuring they have all of the necessary instructions beforehand. Never allow a child to
touch the unit, even when switched off, and do not operate the unit when animals are in the vicinity (fear, disturbance, etc.).
In all cases, respect the local regulations currently in place concerning the use of the units. Exhaust gases, fuel and oil are toxic
products; take all necessary protective measures.
2.3 Guidelines for protecting the environment
Drain the engine oil into a designated container: never drain or discard engine oil onto the ground.
As far as possible, avoid sound reverberating through walls or buildings (the noise will be amplified).
If the unit is used in wooded, bushy or uncultivated areas and if the exhaust silencer is not fitted with a spark arrester, clear any
vegetation away from the area and take care that the sparks do not cause a fire. Once the unit is no longer being used (end of
product life), take it to a waste collection point.
2.4 Risks relating to exhaust gases
DANGER
For safety reasons and for correct operation of the unit, correct ventilation is essential (risk of poisoning, engine overheating and
accidents involving, or damage to, the surrounding equipment and property). If it is necessary to operate it inside a building, the
exhaust gases must be evacuated outside and adequate ventilation must be provided so that any people or animals present are not
affected.

Keep these safe throughout the unit's service life and always adhere to the safety advice and
the usage and maintenance instructions contained therein.
