WARNING
To reduce the risk of eye
injuries, wear close-fit-
ting safety glasses in
accordance with Euro-
pean Standard EN 166.
Make sure the safety
glasses are a snug fit.
Wear "personal" sound protection, e.g.
ear defenders.
Wear a safety hard hat where there is a
danger of head injuries from falling
objects.
Wear sturdy protective
gloves made of a resist-
ant material (e. g.
leather).
STIHL can supply a comprehensive
range of personal protective equipment.
Transporting the machine
Always stop the engine.
Always fit the chain scabbard – even
when you carry the power tool for short
distances.
4
Ensure that the power tool is always well
balanced and hold it by the shaft for
carrying. Do not touch hot parts of the
machine, especially the surface of the
muffler – Risk of burns!
By vehicle: When transporting in a
vehicle, properly secure your machine to
prevent turnover, damage and fuel
spillage.
Refueling
Gasoline is highly flam-
mable – keep away from
fire or flame – do not spill
any fuel – no smoking.
Always shut off the engine before
refueling.
Do not fuel a hot engine – fuel may spill
and cause a fire.
Open the fuel cap carefully to allow any
pressure build-up in the tank to release
slowly and avoid fuel spillage.
Only refuel the machine in a well
ventilated place. If fuel has been spilled,
immediately clean the machine – do not
allow your clothes to be splashed with
fuel. If that happens, change your
clothes at once.
After fueling, tighten
down the screw-type fuel
cap as securely as
possible.
This helps reduce the risk of unit
vibrations causing an incorrectly
tightened fuel cap to loosen or come off
and spill quantities of fuel.
Check for leaks. Do not start the engine
if there is a fuel leak – serious or fatal
burns could result!
Before starting
Check that your power tool is properly
assembled and in good condition – refer
to appropriate chapters in the User
Manual.
Check the fuel system for leaks,
–
especially the visible parts, e. g.,
fuel cap, hose connections, manual
fuel pump (only in machines with a
manual fuel pump). In case of
leakage and damage, do not start
the engine – risk of fire! Have the
machine serviced by a dealer
before using it

Check the choke lever, throttle

Check that the spark plug boot is
–
secure – a loose boot may cause
