If the filler cap will not engage into the
fuel tank housing
If the cap does not drop fully into the fuel
tank opening when the positioning
marks (1, 2) line up, or if it does not
tighten properly when turned, the base
of the cap may be prematurely rotated in
relation to the top. Such misalignment
can result from handling, cleaning or an
improper attempt at tightening.
– Illustrations A and B: The base of
the cap is prematurely rotated to the
closed position and is not in the
correct starting position for
installation. The tank will not seal in
this configuration. Note: in
Illustrations A and B, the interior
positioning marks (1) are in line with
the exterior position marks (2).
– Illustration C: The bottom of the cap
is in the correct starting position for
installation. Note: In Illustration C,
the interior positioning mark (1) is
under the grip and not in line with
the outer position mark (2).
To return the base of the cap to the
proper starting position for installation:
N Drop the cap into the fuel tank
opening (A).
N Next, turn the cap counter-
clockwise with slight pressure until it
drops fully into the fuel tank opening
(approximately 1/4 turn) (B). This
will rotate the base of the cap into
the correct starting position for
installation (C). The exterior
positioning mark (1) on the cap will
line up with the "unlocked"
symbol (2) on the fuel tank housing.
The interior positioning mark should
be under the grip and not in line with
the outer positioning mark (1).
N Then, turn the cap clockwise,
closing it normally.
If your fuel cap still does not tighten
properly, it may be damaged or broken.
Stop using the power tool and take it to
your authorized STIHL dealer for repair.
The rear handle can be turned through
90° to the left or right for better control
and comfort in all cutting situations.
N Let go of the throttle trigger. Do not
open the throttle.
N Disengage the lock (1).
N Turn the handle (2) to the required
position and re-engage the lock (1).
The throttle trigger may be used again
when the handle is locked in position.
Do not operate the throttle while the
handle lock is disengaged. Never
disengage the lock while you are
operating the throttle.
