In vehicles: Properly secure your power

tool to prevent turnover, fuel spillage and

damage.

Fueling

Always shut off the engine before

refueling.

Do not fuel a hot engine – fuel may spill

and cause a fire.

Open the fuel cap carefully to allow any

pressure build-up in the tank to release

slowly and avoid fuel spillage.

Fuel your power tool only in well-

ventilated areas. If you spill fuel, wipe

the machine immediately – if fuel gets on

your clothing, change immediately.

This reduces the risk of unit vibrations

causing the fuel cap to loosen or come

off and spill quantities of fuel.

To reduce the risk of serious or fatal

burn injuries, check for fuel leakage. If

fuel leakage is found, do not start or run

the engine until leak is fixed.

Before Starting

Check that your power tool is properly

assembled and in good condition – refer

to appropriate chapters in the instruction

manual.

– Check the fuel system for leaks,

paying special attention to visible

parts such as the tank cap, hose

connections and the manual fuel

pump (on machines so equipped). If

there are any leaks or damage, do

not start the engine – risk of fire.

Have your machine repaired by a

servicing dealer before using it

again.

– Master Control lever must move

easily in direction of STOP or † and

spring back to the normal run

position F.

– Action of Master Control lever,

throttle trigger lockout and throttle

trigger must be smooth – the throttle

trigger must return automatically to

the idle position. The Master Control

lever must spring back from the l

and n positions to the normal run

position F.

– Check that the spark plug boot is

secure – a loose boot may cause

arcing that could ignite combustible

fumes and cause a fire.

– Cutting blades securely mounted

and in good condition (clean, move

freely, not warped), properly

sharpened and thoroughly sprayed

with STIHL resin solvent (lubricant).

– Check cutter guard (if fitted) for

damage.

– Never attempt to modify the controls

or safety devices in any way.

– Keep the handles dry and clean –

free from oil and dirt – for safe

control of the power tool.

To reduce the risk of accidents, do not

operate your power tool if it is damaged

or not properly assembled.

Starting the Engine

Start the engine at least 3 meters from

the fueling spot, outdoors only.

Place the power tool on firm ground in

an open area. Make sure you have good

balance and secure footing. Hold the

power tool securely. The cutting blades

must be clear of the ground and all other

obstructions because they may begin to

run when the engine starts.

Your power tool is designed to be

operated by one person only. Do not

allow other persons in the work area –

even when starting.

To reduce the risk of injury, avoid

contact with the cutting blades.

Do not drop start the power tool – start

the engine as described in the

instruction manual.

Note that the cutting blades continue to

run for a short period after you let go of

the throttle trigger – flywheel effect.

Check idle speed setting: The cutting

blades must not move when the engine

is idling with the throttle trigger released.

Gasoline is an extremely

flammable fuel. Keep

clear of naked flames. Do

not spill any fuel – do not

smoke.

Insert the fuel cap with

hinged grip (bayonet-type

cap) correctly in the

opening, turn it clockwise

as far as stop and fold the

grip down.
