English solution to reduce the risk of backflow, i.e. the chemicals being sucked into the water supply in the case of a sudden vacuum. Calculate the correct amount of chemical solution so that it is used up at one time, with no extra solution left in the tank. After filling, fit the container cap and tighten it down firmly. WARNING Check for leakage while refilling and during operation. A leak from the container or a loose fitting could soak your clothing and come into contact with your skin. Before Starting WARNING Always check your power tool for proper condition and operation before starting, particularly the throttle trigger and setting lever with stop position. The throttle trigger must move freely and always spring back to the idle position. Never attempt to modify the controls or safety devices. WARNING To reduce the risk of leakage and skin contact with chemicals, check that the container cap and all connections in the path of the spray are tight, and be sure the hose is securely attached and in good condition. Keep the valve lever closed. WARNING Never operate your power tool if it is damaged, improperly adjusted or maintained, or not completely or securely assembled. WARNING Check that the spark plug boot is securely mounted on the spark plug - a loose boot may cause arcing that could ignite combustible fumes and cause a fire. Keep the control handle clean and dry at all times; it is particularly important to keep it free of moisture, pitch, oil, fuel mix, grease or resin in order for you to maintain a firm grip and properly control your power tool. WARNING To reduce the risk of injury from thrown parts, check the fan housing for damage (cracks, nicks, chipping). If any damage is found, stop using the unit and contact your STIHL dealer for repair. Check condition of harness straps and replace damaged or worn straps. WARNING Adjust carrying harness to suit your size before starting work. In an emergency, you may slip out of the harness and throw off the machine quickly. Try slipping out of the harness a number of times before using the machine in order to become accustomed to it. Do not throw off the machine while practicing as it could damage the machine. Starting Start the engine at least 10 feet (3 m) from the fueling spot, outdoors only. For specific starting instructions, see the appropriate section in this instruction manual. Place the power tool on firm ground or other solid surface in an open area. Maintain good balance and secure footing. WARNING Your power tool is a one-person machine. To reduce the risk of eye or other injury from thrown objects, insure that bystanders are at least 50 feet (15 m) away when starting and during use. Stop operation immediately if you are approached. The assistance of another person may be needed in placing the unit on your back after starting. In order to reduce the risk of injury to the assistant from thrown objects, chemical spray/dust or from contact with hot exhaust fumes, the engine should be kept at idle speed during this brief period, and your assistant should not stand in the area of the outlet nozzle or exhaust. Otherwise, the unit should be started and operated without assistance. WARNING When you pull the starter grip, do not wrap the starter rope around your hand. Do not let the grip snap back, but guide the starter rope to rewind it properly. Failure to follow this procedure may result in injury to your hand or fingers and may damage the starter mechanism. 8 SR 200
