Do not smoke or bring any fire or flame near the fuel or the chainsaw. Note that combustible fuel vapors may be vented from the fuel system.
Fueling Instructions !Warning!
Fuel your chainsaw in
Select bare ground for fueling and move at least 10 feet (3 m) from fueling spot before starting the engine. Wipe off any spilled fuel before starting your saw, and check for leakage.
!Warning!
Check for fuel leakage while refueling and during operation. If fuel or oil leakage is found, do not start or run the engine until leak is fixed and spilled fuel has been wiped away. Take care not to get fuel on your clothing. If this happens, change your clothing immediately. Different models may have different fuel caps.
Fuel Cap with Grip !Warning!
In order to reduce the risk of fuel spillage and fire from an improperly tightened fuel cap, correctly position and tighten the fuel cap in the fuel tank opening.
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 into the fuel tank opening with the
triangular 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).
Fold the grip flush with the top of the cap. If the grip
does not lie completely flush with the cap and the detent on the grip does not fit in the
corresponding recess in the filler neck, the cap is not properly seated and tightened and you must repeat the above steps.
Slotted Fuel Cap !Warning!
Unit vibrations can cause an improperly tightened fuel filler cap to loosen or come off and spill quantities of fuel. In order to reduce the risk of fuel spillage and fire, tighten fuel filler cap by hand with as much force as possible.
The screwdriver end of the STIHL combination wrench or other similar
tool can be used as an aid in tightening slotted fuel filler caps.
