ENGINE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
All engines contain carbon monoxide in their exhaust. Carbon monoxide is a deadly, colorless, tasteless, odorless gas which may be present even if you do not smell or see any engine exhaust. Levels of carbon monoxide, which can be deadly, can be present for days in an enclosed area that has poor ventilation. Any level of carbon monoxide, if inhaled, can cause headaches, drowsiness, nausea, dizziness, confusion and eventually death. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek fresh air and medical attention immediately.
WARNING: Preventing Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Never run engine indoors.
Never ventilate engine exhaust indoors. Carbon monoxide can reach dangerous levels.
3
Never run engine outdoors where exhaust fumes may be pulled into a building.
Never run engine outdoors in a poorly ventilated area where the exhaust fumes maybe trapped and not easily taken away. (Examples include: areas where hills surround your working area.)
Never run engine in an enclosed or partially enclosed area. (Examples include: buildings that are enclosed on one or more sides, under tents, carports or basements.)
Always run the engine with the exhaust and muffler pointed in the direction away from the operator.
Never point the exhaust muffler towards anyone. People should always be many feet away from the operation of the engine and its attachments.
WARNING: Gasoline Fires or handling Fuel Safely
Fuel and fuel vapors are highly flammable. Never use fuel where a spark or flame may be present. Never use fuel where a potential source of ignition could occur. (Examples include: hot water or space heaters, clothes dryer, electric motors, etc.)
Keep flames and sparks away from engine and fuel to prevent fires. Fuel fires spread very quickly and are highly explosive.
WARNING: Prevention of Gasoline Fires
Never fill your fuel tank with fuel indoors. (Examples include: basement, garage, barn, shed, house, porch, etc.)
Always fill fuel tank outside in a well ventilated area.
Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel with the engine running. Stop engine and allow to cool before filling.
Never drain fuel from engine in an enclosed area.
Always wipe up excess (spilled) fuel from engine before starting. Clean up spilled fuel immediately.
Allow spilled fuel to dry, after wiping and before starting.
Allow fuel fumes/vapors to escape from the area before starting engine.
Test the fuel cap for proper installation before starting and using engine.
Always run the engine with fuel cap properly installed on the engine and gas cap vent screw unscrewed.
Replace fuel cap that allows gas to spill or leak.
Never smoke while refilling engine fuel tank.
Prevent fire and explosion caused by static electric discharge. Use only non-metal, portable fuel containers approved by the Underwriter’s Laboratory (U.L.) or the
American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM).
Do not store engine with fuel in fuel tank indoors. Fuel and fuel vapors are highly explosive.
When storing, screw down gas cap vent screw tightly.
Never pour fuel from engine fuel tank.
Never siphon fuel by mouth to drain fuel tank.
4
Always have an adult fill the fuel tank.
Never allow an adult or anyone under the influence of drugs or alcohol to fill engine.
Never allow children to fill the engine.
BURNS AND FIRES
The muffler, muffler guard and other parts of the engine become extremely hot during the operation of the engine. These parts remain extremely hot after the engine has stopped.
WARNING: Prevention of Burns and Fires
Never remove the muffler guard from the engine.
Never touch the muffler guard because it is extremely hot and will cause severe burns.
Never touch parts of the engine that become hot after operation.
Always keep materials and debris away from muffler guard and other hot parts of the engine to avoid fires.

Filling Gas Tank
Shut-off engine and allow engine to completely cool before refilling the gas tank.
Move to a well ventilated area, outdoors, away from flames and sparks.
Clean debris from area around the gas cap.
Loosen gas cap slowly. Carefully add fuel without spilling.
Do not fill gas tank completely full, allow space for fuel to expand.
Immediately replace gas cap and tighten. Wipe off spilled fuel and allow to dry before starting engine.
Never run engine indoors. Exhaust fumes are deadly.
USING THE SCREW TYPE, MANUAL VENTING GAS CAP
Your edger is equipped with a screw type, manual venting gas cap.
Before starting the engine, turn the screw in the top of the gas cap all the way open
(counterclockwise) to its venting position. To ensure that gas will not spill during use, check that the gas cap is screwed on tightly and the gas cap screw is in the venting position.
After using the edger and before putting away or transporting it in a vehicle, screw the gas cap screw on (clockwise) tightly. This will prevent gas from leaking during storage.
The gas cap will not leak gas during storage if the gas cap is tight and the screw at the top is tight.
NOTE: When storing unit in an upright position for pro-longed periods of time in warm weather, vent gas cap to prevent gas from leaking from carburetor.
