tion features causing overheating and possible
ignition of the materials.

faces, melt any material sensitive to heat (such
as siding, plastic, rubber, vinyl, or the high
pressure hose) and damage live plants.
• Improperly stored fuel could lead to accidental
ignition. Fuel improperly secured could get
into the hands of children or other unqualified
