押し下げられてしまう虞がなく、安全である。 Furthermore, in the unlikely event that the safety operation member 17 is accidentally rotated to a position close to the permissible fuel injection range and the operation end 16b of the ignition operation member 16 is attempted to be pushed down in this state, the ignition operation member 16 While the protrusion 16c has an arc-shaped cross section, the safety operation member 17 has a disc-shaped hole 17a shaped like the outline of a human eye surrounded by two arc-shaped curves. Since the safety operating member 17 is provided with the fuel in mind, it is difficult to generate a force that would cause the safety operating member 17 to be rotated in a direction in which the hole 17a matches the protrusion 16c of the ignition operating member 16, and the safety operating member 17 is completely removed from the fuel. The ignition operating member 16 can be pushed down only when the ejection is within the permissible range. Therefore, in this respect as well, there is no risk that the ignition operating member 16 will be pushed down by mistake, and it is safe.
