THE USE OF THE POWER TOOL

Transporting the Power Tool

Fuel

Your STIHL power tool uses an oil-

gasoline mixture for fuel (see the

chapter on "Fuel" of your instruction

manual).

Fueling Instructions Before Starting

Starting

Warning!

When transporting your power tool in a

vehicle, properly secure it to prevent

turnover, fuel spillage and damage to

the unit.

Gasoline is an extremely

flammable fuel. If spilled

and ignited by a spark or

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 combusti-

ble fuel vapor may

escape from the fuel

system.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Unit vibrations can cause

an improperly tightened

fuel filler cap to loosen or

come off and spill quanti-

ties of fuel. In order to

reduce the risk of fuel

spillage and fire, tighten

the fuel filler cap by hand

as securely as possible.

Warning!

Always check your power tool for proper

condition and operation before starting,

particularly the throttle trigger, throttle

trigger interlock and stop switch. The

throttle trigger must move freely. Never

attempt to modify the controls or safety

devices.

Warning!

Never use a power tool that is damaged

or not properly maintained.

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.

Warning!

Keep the handles clean and dry at all

times; it is particularly important to keep

them free of moisture, pitch, oil, grease

or resin in order for you to maintain a

firm grip and properly control your

power tool.

Warning!

Start the engine at least 10 feet

(3 meters) from the fueling spot, out-

doors only.
