THE USE OF THE POWER TOOL
To do this with this STIHL
cap, raise the grip on the
top of the cap until it is
upright at a 90° angle.
Insert the cap in the fuel
tank opening with the tri-
angular marks on the grip
of the cap and on the fuel
tank opening lining up.
Using the grip, turn the
cap firmly clockwise as
far as it will go (approx. a
quarter turn).
Warning!
Fuel your power tool in well-ventilated
areas, outdoors. Always shut off the
engine and allow it to cool before refu-
eling. Gasoline vapor pressure may
build up inside the fuel tank depending
on the fuel used, the weather conditions
and the tank venting system.
Transporting the Power Tool
Warning!
Always switch off the engine before tak-
ing the machine off your back and
putting it down. When transporting it in a
vehicle, properly secure it to prevent
turnover, fuel spillage and damage to
the unit.
In order to reduce the risk of burns and
other personal injury from escaping gas
vapor and fumes, remove the fuel filler
cap on your power tool carefully so as to
allow any pressure build-up in the tank
to release slowly. Never remove the fuel
filler cap while the engine is running.
Fold the grip flush with
the top of the cap. If the
grip does not lie com-
pletely flush with the cap
and the detent on the grip
does not fit in the corre-
sponding recess in the
filler opening, the cap is
not properly seated and
tightened and you must
repeat the above steps.
Fuel
Your STIHL power tool uses an oil-
gasoline mixture for fuel (see the
chapter on "Fuel” of your instruction
manual).
Select bare ground for fueling and move
at least 10 feet (3 m) from the fueling
spot before starting the engine. Wipe off
any spilled fuel before starting your
machine.
Warning!
Gasoline is an extremely
flammable fuel. If spilled
and ignited by a spark or
Warning!
other ignition source, it
can cause fire and seri-
ous burn injury or
property damage. Use extreme caution
when handling gasoline or fuel mix. Do
not smoke or bring any fire or flame near
the fuel or the power tool. Note that
combustible fuel vapor may escape
from the fuel system.
Check for fuel leakage
while refueling and dur-
ing operation. If fuel
leakage is found, do not
start or run the engine
Before Starting
Warning!
Always check your power tool for proper
condition and operation before starting,
particularly the throttle trigger, setting
lever and stop switch. The throttle trig-
ger must move freely and always spring
back to the idle position. Never attempt
to modify the controls or safety devices.
until the leak is fixed and
any spilled fuel has been wiped away.
Take care not to get fuel on your cloth-
ing. If this happens, change your
clothing immediately.

Warning!
In order to reduce the risk of fuel spill-
age and fire from an improperly
tightened fuel cap, correctly position
