during transportation may shatter during operation and cause serious personal injury. 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. Warning! Dust may collect on the powerhead, especially around the carburetor, and may absorb gasoline resulting in danger of fire. Clean dust from the powerhead regularly. Fueling Instructions Warning! Fuel your power tool in well-ventilated areas, outdoors. Always shut off the engine and allow it to cool before refueling. Gasoline vapor pressure may build up inside the fuel tank depending on the fuel used, the weather conditions and the tank venting system. In order to reduce the risk of burns and other personal injury from escaping gas vapor and fumes, remove the fuel filler cap on your power tool carefully so as to allow any pressure build-up in the tank to release slowly. Never remove the fuel filler cap while the engine is running. 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 machine. Warning! Check for fuel leakage while refueling and during operation. If fuel leakage is found, do not start or run the engine until the leak is fixed and any spilled fuel has been wiped away. Take care not to get fuel on your clothing. If this happens, change your clothing immediately. English Warning! If fuel gets spilled on clothes, especially trousers, it is very important to change clothes immediately. Do not rely upon evaporation. Flammable quantities of fuel may remain on clothes after a spill for longer than expected. Cutting metal with a cut-off machine when clothes are wet or damp from gasoline is extremely dangerous, as the operator's clothes might catch fire and cause serious or fatal injury. Warning! An improperly tightened fuel cap can loosen or come off and spill quantities of fuel. Different cut-off machines may be equipped with different fuel filler caps: Bayonet Fuel Filler Cap Never use a tool to open or close the bayonet fuel filler cap, as this could damage the cap and cause fuel to leak out. The bayonet fuel filler cap must be closed with care after refuelling. TS 700, TS 800 7
