Fueling
Gasoline is an extremely
flammable fuel. Keep
clear of naked flames. Do
not spill any fuel – do not
smoke.
Always shut off the engine before
refueling.
Do not fuel a hot engine – fuel may spill
and cause a fire.
Open the fuel cap carefully to allow any
pressure build-up in the tank to release
slowly and avoid fuel spillage.
Fuel your power tool only in well-
ventilated areas. If you spill fuel, wipe
the machine immediately – if fuel gets on
your clothing, change immediately.
Check for leakage. To
reduce the risk of serious
of fatal burn injuries, do
not start or run the engine
until leak is fixed.
After fueling, tighten
down the screw-type fuel
cap as securely as
possible.
This reduces the risk of unit vibrations
causing the fuel cap to loosen or come
off and spill quantities of fuel.

Before Starting
Check that your power tool is properly
assembled and in good condition – refer
to appropriate chapters in the instruction
manual.
Check the fuel system for leaks,
–
paying special attention to visible
parts such as the tank cap, hose
connections and the manual fuel
pump (on machines so equipped). If
there are any leaks or damage, do
not start the engine – risk of fire.
Have your machine repaired by a
servicing dealer before using it
again.
Throttle trigger must move freely
–
and spring back to the idle position
when released.
Stop switch must move easily to 0
–
Check that the spark plug boot is
–
secure – a loose boot may cause
arcing that could ignite combustible
fumes and cause a fire.
Check condition of blower wheel
–
and blower housing – see chapter
on "Using the Unit".
A worn blower housing (cracks,
–
nicks, chips) may result in an
increased risk of injury from thrown
foreign objects.
If either the blower wheel or blower
–
housing is damaged, consult your
dealer – STIHL recommends you
contact a STIHL servicing dealer.
Never attempt to modify the controls
–
or safety devices in any way.
To reduce the risk of accidents, do not
operate the unit if it is not properly
assembled and in good condition.
Start the engine.
Start the engine at least 3 meters from
the fueling spot, outdoors only.
Your power tool is designed to be
operated by one person only. Do not
allow other persons in the work area –
even when starting.
Do not drop start the power tool – start
the engine as described in the
instruction manual.
Place the power tool on level ground,
make sure you have secure footing, hold
the power tool securely.
As soon as the engine starts, the air flow
may throw small objects (e.g. stones) in
your direction.
During Operation
Do not direct the air blast towards
bystanders or animals since the air flow
can blow small objects at great speed.
In the event of impending danger or in
an emergency, switch off the engine
immediately by moving the stop switch
to 0.
To reduce the risk
of injury from
thrown objects, do
not allow any other
persons within a
radius of 5 meters
of your own
position.
