the fuel system is tight (no leaks) and that the controls and safety devices are working properly. Do not continue operating this machine if it is damaged. In case of doubt, have it checked by your STIHL servicing dealer.

THE USE OF THE POWER TOOL

Transporting the Power Tool

Warning!

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.

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.

It may be carried only in a horizontal position. Grip the front handle in a manner that the machine is balanced

horizontally. Keep the hot muffler away from your body and the cutting attachment behind you.

Fuel

Your STIHL power tool uses an oil- gasoline mixture for fuel (see the chapter on "Fuel" of your instruction manual).

Warning!

Gasoline is an extremely flammable fuel. If spilled and ignited by a spark or

other ignition source, it can cause fire and serious 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 combustible fuel vapor may escape from the fuel system.

Fueling Instructions

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.

English

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. Different models may be equipped with different fuel caps.

Cap with grip

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 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 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).
