WARNING
Never modify this power tool in any way. 
Only attachments supplied by STIHL or 
expressly approved by STIHL for use 
with the specific STIHL model are 
authorized. Although certain 
unauthorized attachments are useable 
with STIHL power tools, their use may, 
in fact, be extremely dangerous.
If this tool is subjected to unusually high 
loads for which it was not designed (e. g. 
heavy impact or a fall), always check 
that it is in good condition before 
continuing work. Check in particular that 
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
This power tool should be carried only in 
a horizontal position. Grip the shaft in a 
manner that the machine is balanced 
horizontally. Keep the hot muffler away 
from your body and the cutting 
attachment behind you. Accidental 
acceleration of the engine can cause the 
chain to rotate and cause serious 
injuries.
WARNING
Always switch off the engine and fit the 
scabbard over the cutting attachment 
before transporting the power tool over 
long distances. When transporting it in a 
vehicle, properly secure it to prevent 
turnover, fuel spillage and damage to 
the unit.
Fuel
Your STIHL power tool uses an oil- 
gasoline mixture for fuel (see the 
chapter on "Fuel" of your instruction 
manual).
WARNING
Fueling Instructions
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury from 
burns, never attempt to refuel the unit 
until it has been completely removed 
from the operator.
WARNING
Fuel your power tool 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 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.
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.
Gasoline is an extremely 
flammable fuel. If spilled 
and ignited by a spark or 
other ignition source, it 
can cause fire and seri-
ous 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 combusti-
ble fuel vapor may 
escape from the fuel 
system.
