6 Fueling Your STIHL chain saw uses an oil-gasoline mixture for fuel (see page 20). Warning! Gasoline is an extremely flammable fuel. Use extreme caution when handling gasoline or fuel mix. Do not smoke or bring any fire or flame near the fuel (ill. 6). Fuelingllnstructions Fuel your chain saw in well-ventilated areas, outdoors only. Always shut off the engine and allow it to cool before refueling. Relieve fuel lank pressure by loosening fuel cap slowly. Select bare ground for fueling and move at least 25 feet (7,5 m) from fueling spot before starting the engine. Wipe off any spilled fuel before starting your saw 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. 7 Starting arnlng! Your chain saw is a one-person saw. Do not allow other persons to be near the chain saw. Start and operate your saw without assistance. For safe and specific starting instructions, see the appropriate section of this manual on pages 23 to 25. Do not drop start. This method is very dangerous because you may lose control of the saw (see figure 7). Place the chain saw on firm grounCl or other solid surface in an open area. Maintain a good balance and secure footing. Be absolutely sure that guide bar and chain are clear of you and all other obstructions and objects, including the ground; because when the engine starts at starting- throttle, engine speed will be fast enough for the clutch to engage sprocket and turn the chain, which may cause kickback to occur. Engage the chain brake when starting a Quickstop model (see page 23). Never attempt to start the saw when the guide bar is in a cut or kerf. 7
