Fuel (gasoline) is extremely flammable and its vapors can explode if ignited. Store gasoline only in approved containers, in well-ventilated, unoccupied approved areas, and away from sparks or flames. Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is hot or running. Do not start the engine near spilled fuel.

Never use the fuel as a cleaning agent

Engine components can get extremely hot from operation. To prevent burns, do not touch the engine or related parts while the engine is running or immediately after it is turned off. Never operate the engine with any heat shields or guards removed.

Keep all guards in place when operating any piece of equipment

Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from all rotating parts

Lethal Exhaust Gas use only in well ventilated areas. Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide, which is odorless, colorless, and can cause death if inhaled. Avoid inhaling exhaust fumes, and never run the engine in a closed building or confined area

Never tamper with the governor components of settings to increase the maximum speed. Severe personal injury and damage to the engine or equipment can result if operated at speed above maximum. Always obey the maximum speed rating of blade.

WARNING

Dust and Silica Warning

Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials can generate dust, mists and fumes containing chemicals known to cause serious or fatal injury or illness, such as respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. If you are unfamiliar with the risks associated with the particular process and/or material being cut or the composition of the tool being used, review the material safety data sheet and/or consult your employer, the material manufacturer/supplier, governmental agencies such as OSHA and NIOSH and other sources on hazardous materials and make certain to comply with all product warnings and instructions for the safe and effective use of the material being cut. California and some other authorities, for instance, have published lists of substances known to cause cancer, reproductive toxicity, or other harmful effects.

Control dust, mist and fumes at the source where possible. In this regard use good work practices and follow the recommendations of the manufacturer/supplier,
OSHA/NIOSH, and occupational and trade associations. Water should be used for dust suppression when wet cutting is feasible. When the hazards from inhalation of dust, mists and fumes cannot be eliminated through engineering controls such as either vacuum and/or water mist, the operator and any bystanders should always wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for the material being cut.

California Proposition 65 Message
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contain chemicals known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead, from lead-based paints

• Crystalline silica, from bricks and cement and other masonry products

• Arsenic and chromium, from chemically treated lumber
