2.3. ENVIRONMENT SECURITY
Do not use this machine in an explosive place or nearby flammable liquid, gas or dust.
The machine should only be used outdoor.
Do not use the machine at night, in a foggy day or any situation with less visibility.
Clear up the working area, and work with good lighting.
When the machine is operated by two persons at the same time, make sure the position
of another person is safe, before you start the machine.
2.4. SAFETY IN THE WORK AREA
Do not operate this machine in explosive atmosphere as well as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases and dust.
Never start the machine in enclosed areas such as rooms or garages. This
machine emits gases through the exhaust pipe that will accumulate in the
area causing the air to be toxic and harmful to the health of people, animals and plants
that are inside the area. Do not start the machine in a room or enclosed space. The
exhaust fumes and fuel fumes contain carbon monoxide and harmful chemicals.
The area within a radius of 10 meters around the machine should be
considered risk area in which no one must enter while the machine is
running (security area). When necessary, use ropes and warning signs to mark the
security area.
Maintain children and curious persons away from the work area while operating this
machine. Distractions can cause a loss of control. Make sure the children, people or

5
animals do not come into your work area.
When the work must be performed simultaneously by two or more persons, always
check the presence and location of others in order to maintain a sufficient distance
between each person to ensure safety.
2.5. SAFETY IN THE USE OF FUELS
IMPORTANT: The fuel used for this machine is highly flammable. If the
fuel or the machine ignites, smother the fire with a dry powder fire
extinguisher.
Petrol and oil are hazardous; avoid contact of gasoline or oil with the skin and eyes.
Do not inhale or swallow them. Immediately see your doctor if you ingest fuel or oil.
If you accidentally come into contact with fuel or oil clean with soap and water as
soon as possible, if you then continue to feel irritated or unwell immediately consult a
doctor.
Do not refuel in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas or near flames. Fumes
from the fuel and oil contain hazardous chemicals. In the case of a
concentration of gases produced by insufficient ventilation, remove all that impedes
the flow of clean air from the area in order to im prove the flow of clean air from the
area in order to im prove ventilation. Do not return to the area unless you have
properly ventilated the area and are certain that ventilation is sufficient so this does not
happen again.
Petrol and oil are extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions.

6
Do not smoke in the area. Keep flames, sparks or heat sources away from the machine.
Do not smoke while transporting fuel, or when you are working with the machine.
Do not refuel in locations where there is the presence of open flames, sparks or heat
sources. Fill the tank always in well-ventilated areas and with the motor stopped. Do
not overflow fuel when filling the fuel tank. Make sure to correctly and tightly close
the cap on the fuel after refilling. In the event of a fuel leakage, be sure to clean these
leaks completely before starting, move the machine away from the spillage area and
avoid any source of ignition until all vapors are gone. Add fuel before starting the
machine.
Never remove the cap of the fuel tank while the engine is running or when the
machine is hot. Make sure the cap of the fuel is tightly and correctly closed while you
are using the machine.
Do not use fuel that has been stored for longer than 2 months.
