Safety Precautions

If the power tool is started up in the
course of repairs or maintenance
work, observe all local and country-
specific safety regulations as well
as the safety precautions and
warnings in the instruction manual.
Gasoline is an extremely flammable
fuel and can be explosive in certain
conditions.
Always wear suitable protective
gloves for operations in which
components are heated for
assembly or disassembly.
Improper handling may result in
burns or other serious injuries.
Do not smoke or bring any fire,
flame or other source of heat near
the fuel. All work with fuel must be
performed outdoors only. Spilled
fuel must be wiped away
immediately.
Always perform leakage test after
working on the fuel system and the
engine.
Damaged parts must always be
replaced in order to avoid
consequential damage.
Run the chain saw only with the
shroud mounted in position – there
is otherwise a risk of injury from the
fanwheel and a risk of engine
damage due to overheating.
Fuel system – hose barb
connectors
Pull off or push on fuel hoses in line
with the connector, preferably by
hand, to ensure the tightness of the
fuel system.
Avoid damaging the hose barb
– do not use sharp-edged pliers,
screwdrivers, etc.
Do not cut open fuel hoses with a
knife or similar tool.
Do not re-use fuel hoses after
removal. Always install new hoses
– fuel hoses can be overstretched
during removal.
Install new fuel hoses either dry or
with the aid of STIHL press fluid,
b 15.
Other press fluids are not approved
and may result in damage to the fuel
hoses.
Coat the ends of the hoses and the
connectors with STIHL press fluid
and then push the new hoses onto
the hose barbs, b 15.
