    WARNING
    Never test the ignition system with the 
    ignition wire boot removed from the 
    spark plug or with a removed spark plug, 
    since uncontained sparking may cause 
    a fire.
    WARNING
    Do not operate your power tool if the 
    muffler is damaged, missing or modified. 
    An improperly maintained muffler will 
    increase the risk of fire and hearing loss. 
    Your muffler is equipped with a spark-
    arresting screen to reduce the risk of 
    fire; never operate your power tool if the 
    screen is missing, damaged or clogged. 
    Remember that the risk of a brush or 
    forest fire is greater in hot or dry 
    weather.
    In California, it is a violation of § 4442 or 
    § 4443 of the Public Resources Code to 
    use or operate gasoline-powered tools 
    on forest-covered, brush-covered or 
    grass-covered land unless the engine’s 
    exhaust system is equipped with a 
    complying spark arrester that is 
    maintained in effective working order. 
    The owner/operator of this product is 
    responsible for properly maintaining the 
    spark arrester. Other states or 
    governmental entities/agencies, such as 
    the U.S. Forest Service, may have 
    similar requirements. Contact your local 
    fire agency or forest service for the laws 
    or regulations relating to fire protection 
    requirements.
    Store the power tool in a dry and high or 
    locked location out of reach of children.Before storing for longer than a few 
    days, always empty the fuel tank. See 
    chapter "Storing the machine" in this 
    manual.

    12 A properly adjusted throttle cable is the 
    precondition for correct operation in the 
    starting throttle, idle and full throttle 
    positions.
    Adjust the throttle cable only when the 
    machine is completely and properly 
    assembled.
    NUse a suitable tool to push the slide 
    to the end of the slot (see 
    illustration).
    NPress down the trigger lockout (1) 
    and squeeze the throttle trigger (2) 
    (full throttle position) – this sets the 
    throttle cable correctly.This engine is certified to operate on 
    unleaded gasoline and the STIHL two-
    stroke engine oil at a mix ratio of 50:1.
    Your engine requires a mixture of high-
    quality gasoline and two-stroke air 
    cooled engine oil.
    Use mid-grade unleaded gasoline with a 
    minimum octane rating of 89 ((R+M)/2) 
    and no more than 10% ethanol content.
    Fuel with a lower octane rating may 
    increase engine temperatures. This, in 
    turn, increases the risk of piston seizure 
    and damage to the engine.
    The chemical composition of the fuel is 
    also important. Some fuel additives not 
    only detrimentally affect elastomers 
    (carburetor diaphragms, oil seals, fuel 
    lines, etc.), but magnesium castings and 
    catalytic converters as well. This could 
    cause running problems or even 
    damage the engine. For this reason 
    STIHL recommends that you use only 
    high-quality unleaded gasoline!
    Gasoline with an ethanol content of 
    more than 10% can cause running 
    problems and major damage in engines 
    and should not be used.
    The ethanol content in gasoline affects 
    engine running speed – it may be 
    necessary to readjust the carburetor if 
    you use fuels with various ethanol 
    contents.
    WARNING
    To reduce the risk of personal injury 
    from loss of control and / or contact with 
    the running cutting tool, do not use your unit with incorrect idle adjustment. At 
    correct idle speed, the cutting tool 
    should not move.
    If your power tool shows an incorrect idle 
    adjustment, have your STIHL dealer 
    check your power tool and make proper 
    adjustments and repairs.
    The idle speed and maximum speed of 
    the engine change if you switch from a 
    fuel with a certain ethanol content to 
    another fuel with a much higher or lower 
    ethanol content.
    This problem can be avoided by always 
    using fuel with the same ethanol 
    content.
    Use STIHL HP Ultra oil or ask your 
    dealer for an equivalent high quality oil 
    to ensure the maximum performance of 
    the product for the full lifetime.
    To meet the requirements of EPA 
    40CFR90/1054 we recommend to use 
    STIHL HP Ultra oil.
    Do not use BIA or TCW rated (two-
    stroke water cooled) mix oils or other 
    mix oils that state they are for use in both 
    water cooled and air cooled engines 
    (e.g., outboard motors, snowmobiles, 
    chain saws, mopeds, etc.).
    Take care when handling gasoline. 
    Avoid direct contact with the skin and 
    avoid inhaling fuel vapor. When filling at 
    the pump, first remove the container 
    from your vehicle and place the 
    container on the ground before filling. To 
    reduce the risk of sparks from static 
    discharge and resulting fire and/or 
    explosion, do not fill fuel containers that 
    are sitting in or on a vehicle or trailer.

    13 The container should be kept tightly 
    closed in order to limit the amount of 
    moisture that gets into the mixture.
    The machine’s fuel tank should be 
    cleaned as necessary.
    Fuel mix ages
    Only mix sufficient fuel for a few days 
    work, not to exceed 30 days of storage. 
    Store in approved fuel-containers only. 
    When mixing, pour oil into the container 
    first, and then add gasoline. Close the 
    container and shake it vigorously by 
    hand to ensure proper mixing of the oil 
    with the fuel.
    Dispose of empty mixing-oil containers 
    only at authorized disposal locations.
    Preparations
    NBefore fueling, clean the filler cap 
    and the area around it to ensure that 
    no dirt falls into the tank.
    Always thoroughly shake the mixture in 
    the canister before fueling your 
    machine.
    NPosition the machine so that the 
    filler cap is facing up.
    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 the filler cap
    NTurn the cap counterclockwise until 
    it can be removed from the tank 
    opening.
    NRemove the filler cap.
    Refueling
    Take care not to spill fuel while fueling 
    and do not overfill the tank.
    Closing the filler cap
    NPosition cap.
    NTurn the cap clockwise as far as it 
    will go and tighten it as securely as 
    possible by hand. Gasoline Oil (STIHL 50:1 or equiva-

    During break-in period
    A factory-new machine should not be 
    run at high revs (full throttle off load) for 
    the first three tank fillings. This avoids 
    unnecessary high loads during the 
    break-in period. As all moving parts 
    have to bed in during the break-in 
    period, the frictional resistances in the 
    engine are greater during this period. 
    The engine develops its maximum 
    power after about 5 to 15 tank fillings.
    During Operation
    After a long period of full throttle 
    operation, allow the engine to run for a 
    short while at idle speed so that engine 
    heat can be dissipated by the flow of 
    cooling air. This protects engine-
    mounted components (ignition, 
    carburetor) from thermal overload.
    After Finishing Work
    Storing for a short period: Wait for the 
    engine to cool down. Empty the fuel tank 
    and keep the machine in a dry place, 
    well away from sources of ignition, until 
    you need it again. For longer out-of-
    service periods – see "Storing the 
    Machine".Filters have an average life of more than 
    a year. Do not remove the filter cover or 
    replace the air filter as long as there is no 
    noticeable loss of power.
    If there is a noticeable loss of engine 
    power
    NTurn the choke knob to g.
    NTake out the screw (1).
    NRemove the filter cover (2).
    NClean away loose dirt from around 
    the filter.
    NRemove the filter element (3).
    NReplace dirty or damaged filters.
    NReplace any damaged parts.
    NFit the new air filter in the filter 
    housing (4).
    NFit the filter cover.
    NInsert the screw and tighten it down 
    firmly.Exhaust emissions are controlled by the 
    design of the fundamental engine 
    parameters and components (e.g. 
    carburation, ignition, timing and valve or 
    port timing) without the addition of any 
    major hardware.

    17 The carburetor has been set at the 
    factory to provide an optimum fuel-air 
    mixture under most operating 
    conditions.
    Adjusting Idle Speed
    Engine stops while idling
    NWarm up the engine for about 
    3 minutes.
    NTurn the idle speed screw (LA) 
    slowly clockwise until the engine 
    runs smoothly – the cutting 
    attachment must not rotate.
    Attachment runs when engine is idling
    NTurn the idle speed screw (LA) 
    slowly counterclockwise until the 
    cutting attachment stops running 
    and then turn the screw about 
    another 1/2 to 3/4 turn in the same 
    direction.
    WARNING
    If the attachment continues to run when 
    the engine is idling, have your machine 
    checked and repaired by your servicing 
    dealer.If engine is down on power, difficult to 
    start or runs poorly at idling speed, first 
    check the spark plug.
    Fit a new spark plug after approx. 100 
    operating hours or earlier if the 
    electrodes are badly eroded.
    Wrong fuel mix (too much engine oil in 
    the gasoline), a dirty air filter and 
    unfavorable running conditions (mostly 
    at part throttle etc.) affect the condition 
    of the spark plug. These factors cause 
    deposits to form on the insulator nose 
    which may result in trouble in operation.
    Removing the Spark Plug
    NMove the slide control to STOP-0.
    NRemove the spark plug boot (1).
    NUnscrew the spark plug.
    Checking the Spark Plug
    NClean dirty spark plug.
    NCheck electrode gap (A) and 
    readjust if necessary – see chapter 
    "Specifications."
    NUse only resistor type spark plugs of 
    the approved range.
    Rectify problems which have caused 
    fouling of spark plug:
    –too much oil in fuel mix,
    –dirty air filter,
    –unfavorable running conditions, e.g. 
    operating at part load.Adjusting the Carburetor

    WARNING
    To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury, 
    use only spark plugs authorized by 
    STIHL. Always press spark plug boot (1) 
    snugly onto spark plug terminal (2) of the 
    proper size. (Note: If terminal has 
    detachable SAE adapter nut, it must be 
    securely attached.) A loose connection 
    between spark plug boot and ignition 
    wire connector in the boot may create 
    arcing that could ignite combustible 
    fumes and cause a fire.
    Installing the Spark Plug
    NScrew the spark plug (2) into the 
    cylinder and fit the boot (1) (press it 
    down firmly).For periods of about 3 months or longer
    NDrain and clean the fuel tank in a 
    well ventilated area.
    NDispose of fuel properly in 
    accordance with local 
    environmental requirements.
    NRun the engine until the carburetor 
    is dry – this helps prevent the 
    carburetor diaphragms sticking 
    together.
    NThoroughly clean the machine.
    NRemove, clean and check the 
    attachment. Coat metal parts with 
    corrosion inhibiting oil.
    NStore the machine in a dry and 
    secure location Keep out of the 
    reach of children and other 
    unauthorized persons.
