5. For safe operation
■HANDLING FUEL
1.The engine of the RedMax product is designed to run on a mixed fuel which contains highly flammable gasoline. Never store cans of fuel or refill the tank of the unit in any place where there is a boiler, stove, wood fire, electrical sparks, welding sparks, or any other source of heat or fire which might ignite the fuel.
2.Never smoke while operating the unit or refilling its fuel tank.
3.When refilling the tank, always turn off the engine and allow it to cool down. Take a careful look around to make sure that there are no sparks or open flames anywhere nearby before refueling.
4.Wipe spilled fuel completely using a dry rag if any fuel spillage occurs during refueling.
5.After refueling, screw the fuel cap back tightly onto the fuel tank and then carry the unit to a spot 10 feet (3 m) or more away from where it was refueled before turning on the engine.
■TRANSPORTATION
1.Never transport the pruner nor set it down with the engine running. An engine that's running could be accidently accelerated causing the chain to rotate.
2.Make sure the scabbard is in place when transporting the pruner.
3.When carrying by hand, the chain should be pointing backward.
4.Never transport the product over rough roads over long distances by vehicle without removing all fuel from the fuel tank. If doing so, fuel might leak from the tank during transport.
