attachment behind you.
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.
Fuel
Your STIHL power tool uses an oil-
gasoline mixture for fuel (see the
chapter on "Fuel" of your instruction
manual).
Warning!
Check for fuel leakage while refueling
and during operation. If fuel leakage is
found, do not start or run the engine until
the leak is fixed and any spilled fuel has
been wiped away. Take care not to get
fuel on your clothing. If this happens,
change your clothing immediately. Dif-
ferent models may be equipped with
different fuel caps.

In case of doubt, have it checked by your

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

from the fuel system.
Transporting the Power Tool
Warning!
Warning!
In order to reduce the risk of fuel spill-
age and fire from an improperly
tightened fuel cap, correctly position
and tighten the fuel cap in the fuel tank
opening.
To reduce the risk of injury from saw
chain contact, never carry or transport
your power tool with the saw chain mov-
ing. Always engage the chain brake
when taking more than a few steps.
Fueling Instructions
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.
Warning!
Always switch off the engine, and fit the
chain guard (scabbard) over the chain
and guide bar before transporting the
power tool over longer distances. When
transporting it in a vehicle, properly
secure it to prevent turnover, fuel spill-
age 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.
It may be carried only in a horizontal
position. Grip the front handle in a
manner that the machine is balanced
