English / USA Service damaged cutter blades before using the hedge cutter. Always keep blades sharp. Keep the handles clean and dry at all times; it is particularly important to keep them free of oil and resin to ensure that you can always maintain a firm grip and safely control your machine. Stihl recommends that you always spray the cutter blades with STIHL resin solvent before starting work - with engine stopped! You can obtain this protective spray from your dealer. Apply generously. Fueling Your STIHL hedge cutter uses an oilgasoline mixture for fuel (see the chapter on "Fuel" of your owner's manual). !Warning! Gasoline is an extremely flammable fuel. If spilled or 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. Fueling Instructions Fuel your hedge cutter in well ventilated areas, outdoors. !Warning! 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 or other personal injury from escaping gas vapor and fumes, remove the fuel filler cap on your hedge cutter 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 hedge cutter and check for leakage. Check for fuel leakage while refueling and during operation. If fuel leakage is found, do not start or run the engine until leak is fixed and spilled fuel has been wiped away. Take care not to get fuel on your clothing. If this happens, change your clothing immediately. Never attempt to fuel a running or hot engine. !Warning! 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. 6 HL 75, HL 75 K
