FS2 CONCRETE SAW RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
Always refuel in a well-ventilated area, away from sparks and
open flames.
Always use extreme caution when working
with flammable liquids. When refueling,
stop the engine and allow it to cool. DO
NOT
smoke around or near the machine.
Fire or explosion could result from fuel
vapors, or if fuel is spilled on a hot engine.
NEVER operate the saw in an explosive atmosphere or near
combustible materials. An explosion or fire could result
causing severe
bodily harm or even death.
Topping-off to the filler port is dangerous, as it tends to spill
fuel.
NEVER use fuel as a cleaning agent.
NEVER touch the hot exhaust manifold, muffler or cylinder. Allow
these parts to cool before
servicing engine or saw.
The engine section of this saw requires an adequate free flow
of cooling air. Never operate the saw in any enclosed or
narrow area where free flow of
the air is restricted. If the air flow
is restricted it will cause serious
damage to the saw or engine
and may cause injury to
people. Remember the saw's
engine gives off DEADLY
carbon monoxide gas.
High Temperatures Allow the engine to cool before adding
fuel or performing service and maintenance functions. Contact
with
hot
components can cause serious burns.
