Wipe off the spillage and allow remaining fuel to evaporate. 2 If you have spilled fuel on yourself or your clothes, change your clothes. Wash any part of your body that has come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water. 3 If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines. WARNING! Never use a machine with ! visible damage to the spark plug guard and ignition cable. A risk of sparking arises, which can cause a fire. Transport and storage • Always store the chainsaw and fuel so that there is no risk of leakages or fumes coming into contact with sparks or naked flames from electrical equipment, electric motors, relays/switches, boilers and the like. • Always store fuel in an approved container designed for that purpose. • For longer periods of storage or for transport of the chainsaw, the fuel and chain oil tanks should be emptied. Ask where you can dispose of waste fuel and chain oil at your local gas station. • The guide bar cover must always be fitted to the cutting attachment when the machine is being transported or in storage, in order to prevent accident contact with the sharp chain. Even a non-moving chain can cause serious cuts to yourself or persons you bump into with an exposed chain. • Secure the machine during transport.

FUEL HANDLING
22 – English
Fuel safety
•
Never refuel the machine while the engine is running.
•
Make sure there is plenty of ventilation when refuelling
or mixing fuel (gasoline and 2-stroke oil).
•
Move the machine at least 10 ft (3 m) from the
refuelling point before starting it.
•
Never start the machine:
1
If you have spilled fuel or chain oil on the machine.
Wipe off the spillage and allow remaining fuel to
evaporate.
2
If you have spilled fuel on yourself or your clothes,
change your clothes. Wash any part of your body that
has come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water.
3
If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for
leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
Transport and storage
•
Always store the chainsaw and fuel so that there is no
risk of leakages or fumes coming into contact with
sparks or naked flames from electrical equipment,
electric motors, relays/switches, boilers and the like.
•
Always store fuel in an approved container designed
for that purpose.
•
For longer periods of storage or for transport of the
chainsaw, the fuel and chain oil tanks should be
emptied. Ask where you can dispose of waste fuel and
chain oil at your local gas station.
•
The guide bar cover must always be fitted to the
cutting attachment when the machine is being
transported or in storage, in order to prevent accident
contact with the sharp chain. Even a non-moving
