1.10 Carbon Monoxide (where applicable).
1.11 Carbon monoxide is a colourless and odourless gas. Inhaling this gas can cause
death as well as serious long term health problems such as brain damage.
1.12 The symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can include but are not limited to the
following;
Headaches, dizziness, nausea, breathlessness, collapsing or loss of consciousness.
1.13 Carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms are similar to flue, food poisoning, viral
infections and simply tiredness. It is quite common for people to mistake this very
dangerous poisoning for something else.
1.14 To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning DO NOT use Petrol/Diesel powered equipment
inside any of the following; Home, garage, tent, camper van, mobile home, caravan
or boat. This is not exhaustive and if you are in any doubt contact your dealer.
1.15 If you think you have or someone around you has been affected by carbon monoxide
poisoning;
1.16 Get them fresh air immediately, by leaving the affected area or by opening doors and
windows. If safe and practical to do so make sure that the machine is turned off.
DO NOT enter a room you suspect of having carbon monoxide present –instead call
the emergency services.
1.17 Contact a Doctor immediately or go to Hospital –let them know that you suspect
carbon monoxide poisoning.
1.18 DO NOT use in an enclosed area or moving vehicle.

1.20 General Fuel Safety (where applicable).
CAUTION
ALL FUELS ARE FLAMABLE
1.21 Fire Hazard –keep fuel away from all sources of ignition for example heaters.
Lamps, sparks from grinding or welding.
1.22 DO NOT carry out hot work on tanks that have contained fuel.
1.23 ALWAYS keep the work area tidy.
1.24 ALWAYS clean up spills promptly using absorbent granules and a lidded bin.
1.25 ALWAYS dispose of waste fuels correctly.
1.30 Fueling/De-fueling (where applicable).
CAUTION
ALL FUELS ARE FLAMABLE
1.31 ALWAYS fuel and defuel in a well ventilated area outside of buildings.
1.32 ALWAYS wear correct, suitable and fit for purpose Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE), suggested items are but not limited to safety gloves, overalls.
1.33 When fueling/de-fueling ALWAYS avoid inhaling fumes.
1.34 When de-fueling ALWAYS use a proper fuel retriever.
1.35 ALWAYS carry fuel in the correct and clearly marked container.
1.40 Electrical Safety (where applicable).
1.41 Electricity can kill –NEVER work on LIVE/ENERGISED equipment.
1.42 Prior to carrying out any maintenance work you MUST identify electrical isolation
methods and isolate all electrical supplies.
1.43 Prior to use and with all electrical supplies isolated, you MUST check all electrical
cables, plugs and connectors for the following;
1.44 Are intact and have no signs of damage, to include but not limited to bare wires,
chaffing, cuts and loose wiring.
1.45 If there are any signs of damage, the damaged item MUST be taken out of service
until the damage has been repaired by an electrically competent person.

6
1.46 All trailing cables should be routed so as not to cause any kind of trip hazard.
1.47 NEVER work on or near electricity with wet hands, wet clothing and wet gloves.
1.50 Batteries (where present).
1.51 Batteries present a risk if they become damaged by the possible leaking of
electrolyte. This electrolyte is an acid and can cause serious burn injuries. Care
should be taken when working on or near them. NOTE the electrolyte may be in
a liquid or gel form.
1.52 Should you come in to contact with electrolyte you should;
1.53 Remove all clothing contaminated with electrolyte. If you cannot remove then
saturate them in water.
1.54 Get medical assistance as soon as possible. You must advise the medical staff of
the type of acid.
1.55 Lead/acid battery = dilute sulphuric acid.
1.56 Nickel/cadmium = potassium hydroxide alkali electrolyte.
1.57 Use fresh running water to wash off excess electrolyte, continue this until medical
assistance arrives. Make sure that you do not was the electrolyte to another part of
your body or face.
1.58 If electrolyte comes in to contact with Eyes the electrolyte needs to be immediately
washed away with large amounts of water. Make sure that you do not wash the
electrolyte to another part of your face or body.
1.59 Gasses from charging batteries are highly flammable and great care should be taken
to charge in well ventilated areas.
1.59.1 There is an explosion risk if the battery terminals are short circuited, when
connecting/disconnecting ALWAYS exercise great care so that the terminals or
battery leads are NOT allowed to touch and cause a spark. ALWAYS use suitable
insulated tools.
1.60 Vibrations (where applicable).
1.61 Prolonged use of hand held (operated) machines will cause the user to feel the
effects of/from vibrations. These vibrations can lead to white finger (Raynaud’s
phenomenon) or carpal tunnel syndrome. This condition reduces the ability of the
hand to feel and regulate temperature, causing numbness and heat sensations and
may cause never damage and circulatory tissue death.
1.62 Not all factors that lead to white finger disease are known, but cold weather, smoking
and other diseases that affect blood vessels and blood circulation as well as large
and long-lasting impact of shocks are considered factors in the formation of white
finger. Note the following to reduce the risk of white finger and carpal tunnel
syndrome;
1.63 Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.
1.64 Take regular breaks.
1.65 All of the above precautions may help reduce the risk of white finger disease but not
rule out the carpal tunnel syndrome. Long-term and regular users are therefore

7
recommended to observe the condition of your hands and fingers. Seek medical
attention immediately if any of the above symptoms should occur.
1.70 Noise (where applicable).
1.71 The operating noise of the machine can damage your hearing. Wear hearing
protection such as earplugs or ear defenders to protect your hearing. Long-term
and regular users are advised to have hearing checked regularly. Be especially
vigilant and cautious when hearing ear protection because your ability to hear alarm
warnings will be reduced.
1.72 Noise emissions for this equipment is unavoidable. Carry out noisy work at approved
times and for certain periods. Limit the working time to a minimum. For your personal
protection and protection of people working nearby it is also advisable for them to
wear hearing protection.
1.73 See Certificate of Conformity section for Outdoor Noise declaration of
conformity.
1.80 General Machine Safety.

1.83 Wearing loose clothing, barefoot or sandals.
1.84 Under the influence of drink or drugs or as a result of having taken medication for
cold or flu, or any other times when a possibility exists that your judgement might be
impaired or that you might not be able to operate the machine properly and in a safe
manner.
1.85 Suffering from exhaustion or lack of sleep.
1.86 When the ground is slippery or when other conditions exist which might make it not
possible to maintain a steady posture.
1.87 At night, at times of heavy fog, or at any other times when your field of vision might
be limited and it would be difficult to gain a clear view of the area.
1.88 During rain storms, lighting storms, at times of strong or gale force winds, or at
any other times when the weather conditions might make it unsafe to use this
product.

1.92 NEVER allow children or anyone unable to fully understand the directions given in
this manual to operate this product.
1.93 Make sure you keep this manual handy so you may refer to it whenever questions
arise and ensure you pass this manual on if the machine is loaned or sold.
1.94 Correct Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) MUST be worn at all times when
operating or repairing this machine. This should include but is not limited to;
1.95 Do not use this machine inside a confined space such as but not limited to a vehicle,
house, garage, container, boat or building. Only use outside in a well ventilate area.
1.96 For air cooling a minimum of 1m is required all around the machine.
Maximum ambient temperature 40 degrees Celsius.
1.97 Fire risk- Fuel can expand and overflow in a hot environment or moving vehicle.
Explosion risk- LPG/ Petrol can leak and the vapour is heavier than air. Never store in
confined spaces especially in a boat where the vapour/has will accumulate in the hull
and create a high risk of explosion.
1.98 Carbon monoxide poisoning risk- Never run an engine in a confined space or poorly
ventilated area.
Keep machine away from windows to prevent fumes entering the internal space.
Carbon monoxide is produced by the engine and contained in the exhaust fumes. You
cannot see it or smell it and it can kill you in minutes.
1.99 Never use inside a confined space with an exhaust extension. If the exhaust extension
fails the escaping exhaust gases could kill you.
