Preparations
N Before fueling, clean the filler cap 
and the area around it to ensure that 
no dirt falls into the tank.
N Position the machine so that the 
filler cap is facing up.
N Always thoroughly shake the 
mixture in the canister before 
fueling your machine.
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.
Opening
WARNING
After allowing the chain saw to cool, 
remove the fuel filler cap slowly and 
carefully to allow any remaining 
pressure build-up in the tank to release:
N Flip up the grip and press the cap 
down firmly (1).
N While maintaining steady, 
downward pressure, turn the cap 
slowly counter-clockwise to the vent 
position (2), approximately a 
1/8 turn of the cap.
N If any significant venting occurs, 
immediately re-seal the tank by 
turning the cap clockwise to the 
closed position. Allow the saw to 
cool further before attempting to 
open the tank.
N Turn the cap to the open position (3) 
only after the contents of the tank 
are no longer under pressure. In the 
open position, the exterior 
positioning mark (4) on the cap will 
line up with the "unlocked" 
symbol (5) on the fuel tank housing.
N Remove the fuel filler cap.
WARNING
Never remove the cap by turning it 
directly to the open position without first 
allowing the saw to cool adequately and 
then letting it release any residual 
pressure at the vent position (2). Never 
attempt to remove the cap while the 
engine is still hot or running.
Refueling
Take care not to spill fuel while fueling 
and do not overfill the tank – leave 
approx. 1/2" (13 mm) air space.
Closing
WARNING
An improperly tightened fuel filler cap 
can loosen or come off and spill 
quantities of fuel. To reduce the risk of
