WARNING Never modify this power tool in any way. Only attachments supplied by STIHL or expressly approved by STIHL for use with the specific STIHL model are authorized. Although certain unauthorized attachments are useable with STIHL power tools, their use may, in fact, be extremely dangerous. If this tool is subjected to unusually high loads for which it was not designed (e. g. heavy impact or a fall), always check that it is in good condition before continuing work. Check in particular that the fuel system is tight (no leaks) and that the controls and safety devices are working properly. Do not continue operating this machine if it is damaged. In case of doubt, have it checked by your STIHL servicing dealer. THE USE OF THE POWER TOOL Transporting the Power Tool This power tool should be carried only in a horizontal position. Grip the shaft in a manner that the machine is balanced horizontally. Keep the hot muffler away from your body and the cutting attachment behind you. 390BA000 KN WARNING Accidental acceleration of the engine can cause the chain to rotate and cause serious injuries. Always switch off the engine and fit the scabbard over the cutting attachment before transporting the power tool over long distances. When transporting it in a vehicle, properly secure it to prevent turnover, fuel spillage and damage to the unit. Fuel Your STIHL power tool uses an oilgasoline mixture for fuel (see the "Fuel" chapter in this 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 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 or the power tool. Note that combustible fuel vapor may escape from the fuel system. Fueling Instructions English WARNING To reduce the risk of fire and serious personal injury, always place the power tool on the ground before attempting to fuel the machine. WARNING Pick a Safe Location To reduce the risk of fire and explosion, fuel your power tool in a well-ventilated area, outdoors away from flames, pilot lights, heaters, electric motors, and other sources of ignition. Vapors can be ignited by a spark or flame many feet away. 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 power tool. Take care not to get fuel on your clothing. If this happens, change your clothing immediately. Allow the Power Tool to Cool Before Removing the Fuel Cap WARNING Gasoline vapor pressure may build up inside the fuel tank. The amount of pressure depends on a number of factors such as the fuel used, altitude and temperature. To reduce the risk of burns and other personal injury from HT 105, HT 134, HT 135 5
