It may be carried only in the upright
position. Grip the front handle and keep
the hot muffler away from your body and
the cutter blades behind you.
WARNING
Always switch off the engine and fit the
scabbard over the cutter blades before
transporting the power tool over long
distances. When transporting it in a
vehicle, properly secure it to prevent
turnover, fuel spillage and damage to
the unit.
Fuel
Your STIHL power tool uses an oil-
gasoline mixture for fuel (see the
chapter on "Fuel" of your instruction
manual.)
HS 87 R, HS 87 T
WARNING
Gasoline is an extremely
flammable fuel. If spilled
and ignited by a spark or
other ignition source, it
can cause fire and seri -
ous burn injury or
property damage. Use
extreme caution when
handling gasoline or fuel
mix. Do not smoke or
bring any fire or flame
near the fuel or the power
tool. Note that combus -
tible fuel vapor may
escape from the fuel
system.
Fueling Instructions
WARNING
Fuel your power tool in well-ventilated
areas, outdoors. Always shut off the
engine and allow it to cool before
refueling. Gasoline vapor pressure may
build up inside the fuel tank depending
on the fuel used, the weather conditions
and the tank venting system.
In order to reduce the risk of burns and
other personal injury from escaping gas
vapor and fumes, remove the fuel filler
cap on your power tool carefully so as to
allow any pressure build-up in the tank
to release slowly. Never remove the fuel
filler cap while the engine is running.
Flip up the lever and slowly turn left (1)
to the vent position of the cap at about
1/8 turn where the cap is held in place by
the thread. Once the fumes have been
relieved, turn (2) the cap further to the
1/4 turn position where the tool-less cap
can be removed from the tank thread.
Never remove the fuel filler cap by
quickly turning it to the full 1/4 open
position without letting it vent out any
vapor/pressure build-up at the
1/8 position.
Select bare ground for fueling and move
at least 10 feet (3 m) from the fueling
spot before starting the engine. Wipe off
any spilled fuel before starting your
machine.
WARNING
Check for fuel leakage
while refueling and during
operation. If fuel leakage
is found, do not start or
run the engine until the
leak is fixed and any
spilled fuel has been
wiped away. Take care
not to get fuel on your
clothing. If this happens,
change your clothing
immediately.
