unit with incorrect idle adjustment. At

correct idle speed, the cutting tool

should not move.

If your power tool shows an incorrect idle

adjustment, have your STIHL dealer

check your power tool and make proper

adjustments and repairs.

The idle speed and maximum speed of

the engine change if you switch from a

fuel with a certain ethanol content to

another fuel with a much higher or lower

ethanol content.

This problem can be avoided by always

using fuel with the same ethanol

content.

Use only STIHL two-stroke engine oil or

equivalent high-quality two-stroke

engine oils that are designed for use

only in air cooled two-cycle engines.

We recommend STIHL HP Ultra 2-Cycle

Engine Oil since it is specially

formulated for use in STIHL engines.

Do not use BIA or TCW rated (two-

stroke water cooled) mix oils or other

mix oils that state they are for use in both

water cooled and air cooled engines

(e.g., outboard motors, snowmobiles,

chain saws, mopeds, etc.).

WARNING

Take care when handling gasoline.

Avoid direct contact with the skin and

avoid inhaling fuel vapor. When filling at

the pump, first remove the container

from your vehicle and place the

container on the ground before filling. To

reduce the risk of sparks from static

discharge and resulting fire and/or

explosion, do not fill fuel containers that

are sitting in or on a vehicle or trailer.

The container should be kept tightly

closed in order to limit the amount of

moisture that gets into the mixture.

The machine‘s fuel tank should be

cleaned as necessary.

Fuel mix ages

Only mix sufficient fuel for a few days

work, not to exceed 30 days of storage.

Store in approved fuel-containers only.

When mixing, pour oil into the container

first, and then add gasoline. Close the

container and shake it vigorously by

hand to ensure proper mixing of the oil

with the fuel.

Dispose of empty mixing-oil containers

only at authorized disposal locations.

Preparations

N Before fueling, clean the filler cap

and the area around it to ensure that

no dirt falls into the tank.

Always thoroughly shake the mixture in

the canister before fueling your

machine.

N Position the machine so that the

filler cap is facing up.

WARNING

In order to reduce the risk of fire and

personal injury from escaping gas vapor

and fumes, remove the fuel filler cap

carefully so as to allow any pressure

build-up in the tank to release slowly.

One of two different filler caps is

installed as standard at the factory.
