THE POWER TOOL For illustrations and definitions of the power tool parts see the chapter on "Main Parts and Controls". 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 WARNING To reduce the risk of injury from blade contact, never carry or transport your power tool with the cutter blades moving. It may 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. WARNING To reduce the risk of burn injury, do not touch hot parts of the machine and the gear housing when they are hot. WARNING Always switch off the engine and fit the scabbard over the cutter blades 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. 389BA019 KN English On machines with an adjustable cutter bar: Make sure the cutter bar is secured in position. See chapter in instruction manual entitled "Adjusting Cutter Bar Angle." On machines with a transport position: Move cutter bar to transport position and secure. Fuel Your STIHL power tool uses an oilgasoline mixture for fuel (see the chapter on "Fuel" of your 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 WARNING To reduce the risk of serious injury from burns, never attempt to refuel the unit until it has been completely removed from the operator. HL 100, HL 100 K 5
