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!
Do not attach any cutting attachment to
a unit without proper installation of all
required parts. Failure to use the proper
parts may cause the blade to fly off and
seriously injure the operator or
bystanders.
An arrow on the deflector shows the
correct direction of rotation of the cutting
blade.
Warning!
The cutting attachment must be prop-
erly tightened and in safe operating
condition. Inspect for loose parts (nuts,
screws, etc.) and for cracked, bent,
warped or damaged blades. Replace
damaged blades before using the power
tool.
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".)
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.
Adjust carrying harness and hand grip to
suit your size before starting work. The
machine should be properly balanced as
specified in your instruction manual for
proper control and less fatigue in
operation. To be better prepared in case
of an emergency, practise releasing the
unit from the harness as quickly as
possible.
Keep the handles clean and dry at all
times; it is particularly important to keep
them free of moisture, pitch, oil, fuel mix,
grease or resin in order for you to
maintain a firm grip and properly control
your power tool.
Before Starting
Warning!
Warning!
Check that the spark plug boot is
securely mounted on the spark plug – a
loose boot may cause arcing that could
ignite combustible fumes and cause a
fire.
Starting
Always check your power tool for proper
condition and operation before starting,
particularly the throttle trigger, throttle
trigger lockout, momentary stop switch,
cutting blade, deflector and harness.
The throttle trigger must move freely
and always spring back to the idle posi-
tion. Never attempt to modify the
controls or safety devices. Never use a
power tool that is damaged or not prop-
erly maintained.
Warning!
Start the engine at least 10 feet (3 m)
from the fueling spot, outdoors only.
Warning!
For specific starting instructions, see the
appropriate section of your manual.
Place the power tool on firm ground or
other solid surface in an open area.
Maintain good balance and secure
footing.
To reduce the risk
of personal injury
to the operator
from blade con-
tact and thrown
objects, make
sure your unit is equipped with the
proper deflector, handle and harness.
