Left: Base of cap in closed posi -
tion (with open space)
Right: Base of cap correctly posi -
tioned for installation
To return the cap to the open
N
position for installation, turn the cap
(with the grip up) until it drops fully
into the tank opening. Next, twist the
cap counterclockwise as far as it will
go (approx. 1/4 turn) – this will twist
the base of the cap into the correct
position. Then, twist the cap
clockwise, closing it normally.
If your cap still does not tighten
N
properly, it may be damaged or
broken; immediately stop use of the
unit and take it to your authorized
STIHL dealer for repair.

WARNING
Unit vibrations can cause
an improperly tightened
fuel filler cap to loosen or
come off and spill quanti -
ties of fuel. In order to
reduce the risk of fuel
spillage and fire, tighten
the fuel filler cap by hand
as securely as possible.
See also the "Fueling" chapter in your
Instruction Manual for additional
information.
Before Starting
WARNING
Always check your power tool for proper
condition and operation before starting,
particularly the throttle trigger, throttle
trigger lockout, stop switch, cutting
blade, deflector 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. Never use a power tool
that is damaged or not properly
maintained.
WARNING
Do not attach any cutting attachment to
a unit without proper installation of all
required parts. Failure to use the proper
parts may cause the blade to fly off and
seriously injure the operator or
bystanders.
WARNING
The cutting attachment must be properly
tightened and in safe operating
condition. Inspect for loose parts (nuts,
screws, etc.) and for cracked, bent,
warped or damaged blades. Replace
damaged blades before using the power
tool.
Keep the handles clean and dry at all
times; it is particularly important to keep
them free of moisture, pitch, oil, fuel mix,
grease or resin in order for you to
maintain a firm grip and properly control
your power tool.
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.
WARNING
To reduce the risk
of personal injury
to the operator
from blade con -
tact and thrown
objects, make sure
your unit is
equipped with the
proper deflector,
handle and
harness.
