drill or refilling its fuel tank is extremely
dangerous. Always be sure to keep lit
cigarettes away from the portable gas drill
at all times.
• When refilling the tank always turn off the
engine first and take a careful look around
to make sure that there are no sparks or
open flames anywhere nearby before
refueling.
• If any fuel spillage occurs during refueling,
always be sure to use a dry rag to wipe
any fuel which has been spilled onto the
portable gas drill before turning the engine
back on again.
• After refueling, screw the fuel cap back
tightly onto the fuel tank and then carry
the portable gas drill to a spot 10feet (3m)

before turning on the engine.
