THE USE OF THE POWER TOOL
Transporting the Power Tool
Always switch off the engine before
taking the machine off your back and
putting it down. Empty container 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 chap-
ter on "Fuel" of your instruction manual).
!
Warning!
Gasoline is an extremely
flammable fuel. If spilled
and ignited by a spark or
other ignition source, it
can cause fire and serious
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
combustible fuel vapor may escape from
the fuel system.
