English - Never remove the cap by turning it directly to the open position. Turn it first approximately 1/8 of a turn counter-clockwise to the vent position to relieve any residual pressure. - Never open the fuel tank while the engine is still hot or running. - Never open the fuel tank or re-fuel the power tool near any sparks, flames or other ignition sources. - Pick the right fuel: use only good quality (89 octane or higher), fresh fuel blended for the season. - Vapor lock: do not remove the fuel cap in an effort to relieve vapor lock. Removing the cap has no effect on vapor lock. - Be aware that fuel spraying is more likely at higher altitudes. Preparations N Before fueling, clean the filler cap and the area around it to ensure that no dirt falls into the tank. N Position the machine so that the filler cap is facing up. N Always thoroughly shake the mixture in the canister before fueling your machine. WARNING In order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury from escaping gas vapor and fumes, remove the fuel filler cap carefully so as to allow any pressure build-up in the tank to release slowly. Opening WARNING After allowing the power tool to cool, remove the fuel filler cap slowly and carefully to allow any remaining pressure build-up in the tank to release: 0023BA004 KN 1 N Flip up the grip and press the cap down firmly (1). 2 N While maintaining steady, downward pressure, turn the cap slowly counter-clockwise to the vent position (2), approximately a 1/8 turn of the cap.
