Cap with grip
!
Warning!
In order to reduce the risk of fuel spillage
and fire from an improperly tightened
fuel cap, correctly position and tighten
the fuel cap in the fuel tank opening.
To do this with this STIHL
cap, 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
triangular marks on the grip of the cap
and on the fuel tank opening lining up.
Using the grip, turn the cap firmly
clockwise as far as it will go (approx. a
quarter turn).
Fold the grip flush with the
top of the cap. If the grip
does not lie completely
flush with the cap and the
detent on the grip does
not fit in the
corresponding recess in the filler neck,
the cap is not properly seated and
tightened and you must repeat the
above steps.

Warning!
Unit vibrations can cause
an improperly tightened
fuel filler cap to loosen or
come off and spill
quantities of fuel. In order
to reduce the risk of fuel
spillage and fire, tighten the fuel filler cap
by hand as securely as possible.
Before Starting
!
Warning!
Always check your power tool for proper
condition and operation before starting,
particularly the throttle trigger, throttle
trigger interlock, stop switch and
harness. The throttle trigger must move
freely and always spring back to the idle
position. Never attempt to modify the
controls or safety devices.
!
Warning!
Never use a power tool that is damaged
or not properly maintained.

!
Warning!
Check that the spark plug boot is
securely mounted on the spark plug – a
loose boot may cause arcing that could
ignite combustible fumes and cause a
fire.
Keep the handles clean and dry at all
times; it is particularly important to keep
them free of moisture, pitch, oil, grease
or resin in order for you to maintain a firm
grip and properly control your power
tool.
!
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury from
breakage and loss of control, never use
your unit if the hook or shaft is damaged
or cracked. Never attempt to repair a
damaged or cracked hook or shaft by
welding or straightening.
Adjust the carrying harness and hand
grip to suit your size before starting
work. To be better prepared in case of an
emergency, practice releasing the unit
from the harness as quickly as possible.
