burns:
- Keep petrol only in containers in-
tended for this purpose;

smoke whilst refuelling;

refill with petrol whilst the engine is
running or the equipment is hot:

Avoid any ignition attempt until the
petrol fumes have evaporated;
- For reasons of safety, replace petrol
and other filler caps in the event of
damage.
•
Replace defective silencers.

Before use, always carry out a visual
inspection to check whether the cut-
ting tools, mounting bolts and entire
