Fuel Mix
Your STIHL earth auger uses an oil-
gasoline mixture for fuel (see the
chapter on "Fuel" in your owner's
manual).
!Warning!
Gasoline is an extremely
flammable fuel. Use
extreme caution when
handling gasoline or fuel
mix. Do not smoke or
bring any fire or flame
near the fuel.
Fueling Instructions
!Warning!
Fuel your earth auger in well-ventilated
areas, outdoors. Always shut off the
engine and allow it to cool before
refueling. Gasoline vapor pressure may
build up inside the gas tank of a two
cycle engine depending on the fuel
used, the weather conditions, and the
venting system of the tank.
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 earth auger carefully so as
to allow any pressure build-up in the
tank to release slowly. Never remove
fuel filler cap while 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 earth
auger 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.
!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 the fuel filler cap
by hand with as much force as possible.
Operating the earth auger
The earth auger should be operated by
one person.
To reduce the risk of injury from reactive
forces, the operator must have a firm
grip on the machine and a good foothold
before the throttle is opened to start the
earth auger.
Preparation for the use of the earth
auger
You should always inspect your earth
auger for proper condition and operation
before starting it. Pay special attention to
the throttle trigger, throttle trigger
interlock, stop switch, drilling tool and
auger brake.
