Hazard Symbols
Fuel (gasoline) is extremely flammable and its vapors can explode if ignited.
Store gasoline only in approved containers, in well-ventilated, unoccupied
approved areas, and away from sparks or flames. Do not fill the fuel tank
while the engine is hot or running. Do not start the engine near spilled fuel.
Never use the fuel as a cleaning agent
Engine components can get extremely hot from operation. To prevent burns,
do not touch the engine or related parts while the engine is running or
immediately after it is turned off. Never operate the engine with any heat
shields or guards removed.
Keep all guards in place when operating any piece of equipment
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from all rotating parts
Lethal Exhaust Gas use only in well ventilated areas. Engine exhaust gases
contain poisonous carbon monoxide, which is odorless, colorless, and can
cause death if inhaled. Avoid inhaling exhaust fumes, and never run the
engine in a closed building or confined area
Never tamper with the governor components of settings to increase the
maximum speed. Severe personal injury and damage to the engine or
equipment can result if operated at speed above maximum. Always obey the
maximum speed rating of blade.
