English / USA Fuel : Lay your machine on its back with the gearhead facing upward. Cutting edges of (1) and (3) may point in either direction. Cutting edges of (2), (4) and (5) must point clockwise. Direction of rotation is marked by arrow on inside of cutting head deflector or limit stop. : Place the cutting tool (6) on the thrust plate (7). Collar (see arrows) must locate in cutting tool's mounting hole. : Slip thrust washer (8) and rider plate (9) over the output shaft (10). : Block the output shaft and : Screw the mounting nut (11) with the combination wrench (12) onto the output shaft counterclockwise and tighten down firmly. If the mounting nut is too loose, fit a new one. Removing cutting tool : Block the output shaft. : Unscrew the nut clockwise. : Removing the cutting tool - do not remove the thrust plate (7). This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline and the STIHL twostroke engine oil at a mix ratio of 50:1. Your engine requires a mixture of highquality gasoline and quality two-stroke air cooled engine oil. Use mid-grade unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 89 (R+M/2). If the octane rating of the mid-grade gasoline in your area is lower, use premium unleaded fuel. Fuel with a lower octane rating may increase engine temperatures. This, in turn, increases the risk of piston seizure and damage to the engine. The chemical composition of the fuel is also important. Some fuel additives not only detrimentally affect elastomers (carburetor diaphragms, oil seals, fuel lines, etc.), but magnesium castings and catalytic converters as well. This could cause running problems or even damage the engine. For this reason STIHL recommends that you use only nationally recognized high-quality unleaded gasoline! 30 FS 120, FS 120 R, FS 200, FS 200 R, FS 250, FS 250 R

This engine is certified to operate on
unleaded gasoline and the STIHL two-
stroke engine oil at a mix ratio of 50:1.
Your engine requires a mixture of high-
quality gasoline and quality two-stroke
air cooled engine oil.
Use mid-grade unleaded gasoline with a
minimum octane rating of
89 (R+M/2). If
the octane rating of the mid-grade
gasoline in your area is lower, use
premium unleaded fuel.
Fuel with a lower octane rating may
increase engine temperatures. This, in
turn, increases the risk of piston seizure
and damage to the engine.
The chemical composition of the fuel is
also important. Some fuel additives not
only detrimentally affect elastomers
(carburetor diaphragms, oil seals, fuel
lines, etc.), but magnesium castings and
catalytic converters as well. This could
cause running problems or even
damage the engine. For this reason
STIHL recommends that you use only
nationally recognized high-quality
unleaded gasoline!
