appropriate base.
Refuelling is not allowed in closed rooms. Fuel vapors will accumulate near the -
oor (explosion hazard).
Ensure to rmly tighten the screw cap of the fuel tank. -
Before starting the engine, move to a location at least 3 meters -
(approx. 3 1/4 yards) from where you fuelled the Power Cutter (7), but not within

Fuel cannot be stored for an unlimited period of time. Buy only as much as will be -
consumed in the near future.
Use only approved and marked containers for the transport and storage of fuel. -

area. Keep an eye out for animals as well (9).
Before starting work the Power Cutter must be checked for perfect function -
and operating safety according to the prescriptions.
