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. First allow 
the saw to cool adequately and then 
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 
approximately 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 
fuel spillage and fire from an improperly 
installed fuel cap, correctly position and 
tighten the cap in the fuel tank opening:
N 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 exterior positioning 
mark (1) lined up with the 
"unlocked" symbol (2) on the fuel 
tank housing.
N Using the grip, press the cap down 
firmly while turning it clockwise to 
the closed position (approximately 
1/4 turn). In the closed position, the 
interior (4) and exterior (1) 
positioning marks will align with the 
"locked" symbol (3) on the fuel tank 
housing.
N Fold the grip flush with the top of the 
cap and check for tightness.
WARNING
If the grip does not lie completely flush 
with the cap or the detent on the grip 
does not fit in the corresponding recess 
in the tank opening, or if the cap is loose, 
the cap is not properly seated and you 
must repeat the above steps. Also refer 
to the procedure below for returning the 
base of the cap to the proper starting 
position for installation.
