Fueling Instructions
Fuel your chainsaw in well-ventilated
areas, outdoors only. Always shut off the
engine and allow it to cool before
refueling. Gasoline vapor pressure may
build up inside the fueltank 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 or other personal injury
from escaping gas vapor and fumes,
remove the fuel filler cap on the STIHL
product carefully so as to allow any
pressure build-up in the tank to release
slowly. Never remove fuel filler cap while
the engine is running.
Select bare ground for fueling and move
at least 10 feet (3 m) from fueling spot
before starting the engine.
Wipe off any spilled fuel before starting
your saw, 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 cap to loosen or come off
and spill quantities of fuel. In order to
reduce risk of fuel spillage and fire,
tighten the fuel cap by hand with as
much force as possible.
The screwdriver end of
the STIHL combination
wrench or other similar
tool can be used as an aid
in tightening slotted fuel
caps.
Starting
The chain brake must be engaged when
starting the saw.
!
Warning!
Your chainsaw is a one-person saw.
Do not allow other persons to be near
the running chainsaw. Start and operate
your saw without assistance. For
specific starting instructions, see the
appropriate section of the owner's
manual. Proper starting methods reduce
the risk of injury. Do not drop start.
English / USA
This method is very dangerous because
you may lose control of the saw. Place
the chainsaw on firm ground or other
solid surface in a clear area. Maintain
good balance and secure footing.
!
Warning!
Be sure that the guide bar and chain are
clear of you and all other obstructions
and objects, including the ground. When
the engine is started, the engine speed
with the starting throttle lock engaged
will be fast enough for the clutch to
engage the sprocket and turn the chain,
if the chainbrake is not engaged. If the
running chain near the upper quadrant
of the bar nose touches any object, it
may cause kickback to occur (see
section on reactive forces).
