Fueling Instructions
Adjust carrying harness and hand grip to
suit your size before starting work.

condition. Inspect for loose parts (nuts,
screws, etc.) and for cracked, bent,
warped or damaged blades.
!Warning!
Never attempt to fuel a running or hot
engine. Gasoline vapor pressure may
build up inside the gas tank depending
on the fuel used, the weather conditions,
and the venting system of the tank. In
order to reduce the risk of burns or other
personal injury from escaping gas vapor
and fumes, remove the fuel filler cap on
your edger carefully so as to allow any
pressure build-up in the tank to release
slowly. Never remove fuel filler cap while
engine is running.

Your STIHL edger uses an oil-gasoline
mixture for fuel (see the chapter on
“Fuel“ of your owner's manual).

flammable fuel. If spilled
or ignited by a spark or
other ignition source, it
can cause fire and serious
burn injury or property
Always check your edger for proper
condition and operation before starting,
particularly the throttle trigger, throttle
trigger interlock (and if applicable, stop
switch, cutting tool, deflector and
harness). An arrow on the deflector
shows the correct direction of rotation of
the cutting blade.
Select bare ground for fueling and move
at least 10 feet (3 m) from the fueling
spot before starting the engine.
damage. Use extreme caution when
handling gasoline or fuel mix.
Replace fuel filler cap securely and
check for tightness.
Wipe off any spilled fuel before starting
your edger and check for leakage.
Do not smoke or bring any fire or flame
near the fuel.
The arrow on the deflector must always
face away from you, so that cuttings and
other debris will be diverted away from
the machine and your position (see
chapter "Working Techniques").
