Fuel
Your STIHL power tool uses an oil-
gasoline mixture for fuel (see the
chapter 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 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
combustible fuel vapor may escape
from the fuel system.
Warning!
Dust may collect on the powerhead,
especially around the carburetor, and
may absorb gasoline resulting in danger
of fire. Clean dust from the powerhead
regularly.

Fueling Instructions
Warning!
Fuel your power tool in well-ventilated
areas, outdoors. Always shut off the
engine and allow it to cool before refu-
eling. 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.
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 dur-
ing 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 cloth-
ing. If this happens, change your
clothing immediately.
Warning!
If fuel gets spilled on clothes, especially
trousers, it is very important to change
clothes immediately. Do not rely upon
evaporation. Flammable quantities of
fuel may remain on clothes after a spill
for longer than expected. Cutting metal
with a cut-off machine when clothes are
wet or damp from gasoline is extremely
dangerous, as the operator's clothes
might catch fire and cause serious or
fatal injury.
Warning!
An improperly tightened fuel cap can
loosen or come off and spill quantities of
fuel.
Different cut-off machines may be
equipped with different fuel filler caps:
Bayonet Fuel Filler Cap
Never use a tool to open or close the
bayonet fuel filler cap, as this could
damage the cap and cause fuel to leak
out.
The bayonet fuel filler cap must be
closed with care after refuelling.
