4 Safety Precautions
open fire or hot objects, they can cause a fire or
explosions. This can result in serious or fatal injuries and
damage to property.
Protect fuel mixture and gasoline from heat and fire.
Do not spill fuel mixture and gasoline.
Do not smoke.
Never refuel near a fire.
Shut off the engine and allow it to cool down before
refueling.
Start the engine at least 3 meters from the fueling spot,
outdoors only.
Inhaling fuel fumes and gasoline fumes can have toxic
effects.
Avoid inhaling fuel fumes or gasoline fumes.
Refuel in a well-ventilated location.
The chainsaw becomes hot during operation, or in a very
hot environment. Depending on the type of fuel, altitude,
ambient temperature and the temperature of the saw, the
fuel expands and can cause a pressure build-up in the
tank. Fuel may escape as a spray and ignite when the fuel
tank cap is opened. This can result in serious injuries and
damage to property.
Allow the saw to cool down before opening the tank cap.
Open the tank cap slowly in stages.
Clothing that has been in contact with fuel or gasoline is
more easily flammable. This can result in serious or fatal
injuries and damage to property.
If your clothing comes into contact with fuel or gasoline:
Change your clothing.
Fuel, gasoline and two-stroke engine oil can harm the
environment.
Do not spill fuel, gasoline or two-stroke engine oil.
Fuel, gasoline and two-stroke engine oil can harm the
environment.
Fuel, gasoline or two-stroke engine oil can cause irritation
if they come into direct contact with the skin or eyes.
Avoid contact with fuel, gasoline and two-stroke engine
oil.
In case of contact with the skin: Wash affected areas
with plenty of water and soap.
In case of contact with the eyes: Rinse eyes with plenty
of water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical
advice.
The saw’s ignition system produces sparks. Unconfined
sparks may cause a fire or an explosion in an easily
combustible or explosive environment. This can result in
serious or fatal injuries and damage to property.
Use the spark plugs described in this instruction
manual.
Insert and tighten down the spark plug.
Connect the spark plug boot and press it down firmly.
The saw can be damaged if it is run on a fuel mixture
consisting of unsuitable gasoline or an unsuitable two-
stroke engine oil or if an incorrect mix ratio of gasoline and
two-stroke engine oil is used.
Mix the fuel as described in this instruction manual.
The mixture of gasoline and two-stroke engine oil can
separate if it is stored for a long period. The saw can be
damaged if it is used with a fuel mix that has separated.
Before refueling the saw: Thoroughly mix the fuel.
Use a mixture of gasoline and two-stroke engine oil that
is not older than 30 days (STIHL MotoMix: 2 years).
