English
Under certain conditions, gasoline vapor
pressure may build up inside the fuel
tank depending on the fuel used,
weather conditions and the condition of
the tank venting system. In order to
reduce the risk of burns and other
personal injury from escaping gas vapor
and fumes, allow the machine to cool
adequately before opening the cap. Do
not smoke or open the fuel tank in the
vicinity of any ignition source. Remove
the fuel filler cap slowly and as
described in this instruction manual to
allow any residual pressure in the tank to
release gradually. Never remove the fuel
filler cap while the engine is still hot or
running.
Select bare ground for fueling and move
at least 10 feet (3 m) from the fueling
spot before starting the engine. Wipe off
any spilled fuel before starting your
machine. If gasoline has spilled or
contaminated your clothing, change
clothes before starting the power tool,
resuming work or approaching an
ignition source.
Always use fuels blended for the season
and conditions in which you are cutting.
Avoid the use of winter blend fuels in
summer weather conditions. Use fresh
fuel of good quality and at least
89 octane.

WARNING
Check for fuel leakage
while refueling and during
operation. If fuel leakage
is found, do not start or
run the machine until the
leak is fixed and any
leaked fuel has been
wiped away. Take care
not to get fuel on your
clothing. If this happens,
change your clothing
immediately. Always
move at least 10 feet
(3 m) from the fueling
spot before starting the
engine.
WARNING
If fuel is spilled on clothes, especially
trousers, it is very important to change
clothes immediately. Do not rely upon
evaporation. Flammable quantities of
fuel may remain on clothes after a spill
for longer than expected. Cutting metal
or other materials capable of creating
sparks with a cut-off machine when
clothes are contaminated with fuel or
gasoline is extremely dangerous, as the
operator's clothes might catch fire and
cause serious or fatal injury. Do not
approach any ignition source with
clothes contaminated by fuel.
WARNING
An improperly installed fuel cap can
come off and spill quantities of fuel.
Fuel Filler Cap
Never use a tool to open or close the fuel
filler cap, as this could damage the cap
and cause fuel leakage or spillage.
The fuel filler cap must be securely
closed after refuelling.
WARNING
Never attempt to force the fuel cap open
by using a tool. It may damage the cap
and allow fuel to leak.
WARNING
Before use, make sure that the fuel cap
has been securely and properly installed
and any spilled fuel wiped away. Check
for fuel leakage while refueling and
during operation. If a fuel leak is
suspected, do not start or run the
machine until the leak is fixed and all
leaked fuel has been wiped away.
Before Starting
For wheel installation, follow the
procedure described in the chapter
"Mounting an Abrasive Cutting Wheel" in
this instruction manual.
