Do not smoke or bring any
fire or flame near the fuel
or the chainsaw. Note that
combustible fuel vapors
may be vented from the
fuel system.
Fueling Instructions
!
Warning!
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 gas tank 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 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.
Different models may have different fuel
caps.
Fuel 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 into 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.
Slotted Fuel Cap
!
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 fuel filler 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
filler caps.
