tion or provision for diverting the ex-
haust gas while operating the engine in
closed rooms (risk of poisoning).
 Exhaust gases are toxic and harmful,

cinity of open flames or appliances such

ing and storing fuels.
 Do not overfill the tank. Do not exceed

 Fuels may only be filled in a well-venti-

tween fuel and your skin as well as in-
haling the vapours.

prior to filling it with fuel.
 Keep even mildly inflammable objects
and materials away from the muffler (at
least 2 m).
 Do not start the engine without the muf-
fler; check, clean and replace, if re-
quired, the muffler at regular intervals.
 Do not use the engine in forest, bushes
or grassy areas without fitting a spark
receiver at the exhaust
 Do not make any adjustments to the
regulator springs, regulator bars or oth-
er parts that can bring forth an increase
in the engine speed.
