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.

Fuel your trimmer in well-ventilated
areas, outdoors.

Gasoline vapor pressure may build up
inside the gas tank of a two cycle engine
depending on the fuel used, the weather
conditions, and the venting system of
the tank. 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 trimmer
carefully so as to allow any pressure
build-up in the tank to release slowly.
Never remove fuel filler cap while 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 trimmer and check for leakage.

Check for fuel leakage while refueling
and during operation. If fuel or oil
leakage is found, do not start or run the
engine until leak is fixed and spilled fuel
has been wiped away. If this happens,
change your clothing immediately.

Unit vibrations can
cause an improperly
tightened fuel cap to
loosen or come off and
spill quantities of fuel.
In order to reduce risk of fuel spillage
and fire, tighten fuel cap by hand with as
much force as possible.
The screwdriver end of the STIHL
combination wrench or other similar tool
can be used as an aid for tightening
slotted fuel caps.

Your trimmer is a one-person
machine. Once started, it may fling
foreign objects for a great distance.
To reduce the risk of eye and other injury
insure that bystanders are at least 50
feet (15 m) away. Stop the engine and
cutting tool immediately if you are
approached. Start and operate your
trimmer without assistance. For specific
starting instructions, see the appropriate
section of your manual. Place the
trimmer on firm ground or other solid
surface in an open area. Maintain a
good balance and secure footing.
