Hazards of liquid fuel tools

['Tool Safety']
Hazards of liquid fuel tools
  • The main hazard of fuel-powered tools is the fuel vapors that can burn or explode or give off dangerous fumes.

Fuel-powered tools are usually operated with gasoline. The most serious hazard associated with the use of fuel-powered tools comes from fuel vapors that can burn or explode and also give off dangerous exhaust fumes. The worker must be careful to handle, transport, and store gas or fuel only in approved flammable liquid containers, according to proper procedures for flammable liquids.

Before refilling a fuel-powered tool tank, the user must shut down the engine and allow it to cool to prevent accidental ignition of hazardous vapors. When a fuel-powered tool is used inside a closed area, effective ventilation and/or proper respirators such as atmosphere-supplying respirators must be utilized to a void breathing carbon monoxide. Fire extinguishers must also be available in the area.
