Engineering improvements

STIHL's philosophy is to continually improve all of its products. For this reason we may modify the design, engineering and appearance of our products periodically.

Therefore, some changes, modifications and improvements may not be covered in this manual.

Safety Precautions and Working Techniques

Special safety precau tions must be taken when working with the cut-off machine, due to the very high rotational speed of the abrasive wheel.

It is important you read and understand the User Manual before commis sioning and keep it in a safe place for future ref erence. Non-observance of the safety precautions may result in serious or even fatal injury.

Observe all applicable local safety regulations, e.g. by trade organizations, social insurance institutions, labor safety authorities etc.

As for employers within the European Community, the provision 2009/104/EC is binding – Safety and health protection with the use of machines and devices by employees at work.

If you have never used a power tool before: have your STIHL dealer or other specialist show you how to operate the machine – or attend one of the special training courses.

Minors should never be allowed to use the machine – except for apprentices over the age of 16 when working under supervision.

Children, animals and bystanders must not be allowed near the machine.

TS 700, TS 800

English

When not using the machine, it must be laid down in such a way that it does not endanger anyone. Ensure that the machine cannot be used without authorization.

The user is responsible for accidents or risks involving third parties or their property.

Do not lend or rent your power tool without the User Manual. Be sure that anyone using it understands the information contained in this manual.

The use of machines that emit noise may be limited to certain hours of the day as specified by national and/or regional or local regulations.

Anyone operating the machine must be well rested, in good physical health and in good mental condition.

If you have any condition that might be aggravated by strenuous work, check with your doctor before operating a machine.

If you have a pacemaker: The ignition system of your machine produces an electromagnetic field of very low intensity. This field may interfere with some pacemakers. STIHL recommends that persons with pacemakers consult their physician and the pacemaker manufacturer to reduce any health risk.

Anyone who has consumed alcohol or drugs or medicines affecting their ability to react must not operate a power tool.

Postpone the work if the weather is bad (snow, ice, wind) – higher risk of accidents!

The machine may only be used for cutting. It is not suitable for cutting wood or wooden objects.

Asbestos dust is extremely toxic - the machine must therefore never be used to cut asbestos!

Other uses are not permitted and may lead to accidents or damage to the machine.

Never attempt to modify your power tool in any way since this may increase the risk of personal injury. STIHL excludes all liability for personal injury and damage to property caused while using unauthorized attachments.

Only use abrasive wheels or accessories which have been approved by STIHL for this machine or which are technically equivalent. If you have any questions in this respect, consult your dealer. Only use high-quality abrasive wheels and attachments. in order to avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the machine.

STIHL recommends the use of genuine STIHL abrasive wheels and accessories. They are specifically designed to match the product and meet your performance requirements.

Do not use a high-pressure washer to clean the power tool. The solid jet of water may damage parts of the unit.

Do not spray the power tool with water.

Never use circular saw blades, carbide, rescue or wood cutting attach ments or saws of any kind – these may cause fatal injuries!Instead of uniformly removing parti cles as when cutting with an abrasive wheel, the teeth of a circular saw blade may snag in the material. This causes the machine to react in a highly aggressive manner with uncontrolled and extremely dangerous kickback.

Clothing and equipment

Wear proper protective clothing and equipment.

Clothing must be sturdy but allow complete free dom of movement. Wear close-fitting clothes such as a boiler suit, not a work coat.

When cutting steel, always wear clothing made of barely flammable material (e.g., leather or cotton with flame-retardant finish) – no man made fibers – risk of fire due to flying sparks!

Clothing must be free from flammable deposits (chips, fuel, oil, etc.).

Do not wear clothes that may be caught by moving parts – no scarf, no tie, no jewelry. Tie up and confine long hair above your shoulders.

TS 700, TS 800

English

Wear steel-toed safety boots with non-slip soles.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of eye injuries, wear close-fit ting safety glasses in accordance with Euro pean Standard EN 166. Make sure the safety glasses are a snug fit.

Wear face protection and make sure it is a good fit. Face protection alone is not sufficient to protect the eyes.

Wear a safety hard hat where there is a danger of head injuries from falling objects.

Dust (e. g., crystalline material from the object being cut), fumes and smoke may be produced while cutting - health hazard!

Always wear a dust mask if dust is generated.

If fumes or smoke are anticipated (e. g., when cutting composite materials), wear respiratory protection.

Wear "personal" hearing protection – for example, ear defenders.

Wear sturdy protective gloves made of a resist ant material (e. g. leather).

STIHL can supply a comprehensive range of personal protective equipment.

Transporting the machine

Always stop the engine. Carry the device by the handlebar only –

abrasive wheel pointing to the rear – hot muffler away from the body.

To avoid serious burn injuries, avoid touching hot parts of the machine, especially the surface of the muffler.

Never transport the engine-driven device with attached abrasive wheel – risk of breakage!

By vehicle: When transporting in a vehicle, properly secure your machine to prevent turnover, damage and fuel spillage.

Refueling

Gasoline is highly flam mable – keep away from fire or flame – do not spill any fuel – no smoking.

Always shut off the engine before refueling.

Do not fuel a hot engine – fuel may spill and cause a fire.

Open the fuel cap carefully to allow any pressure build-up in the tank to release slowly and avoid fuel spillage.

Only refuel the machine in a well ventilated place. If fuel has been spilled, immediately clean the machine – do not allow your clothes to be splashed with fuel. If that happens, change your clothes at once.

Dust may collect on the engine unit, particularly around the carburetor. If dust gets mixed with fuel – risk of fire. For this reason, ensure that the dust is always removed.

Check for fuel leakage! Never start the engine if fuel has been spilled or is leaking – Fatal burns may result!

Different cut-off machines may be equipped with different fuel caps:

Bayonet-type fuel cap

Never use a tool to open or close the bayonet-type fuel cap. This could damage the cap and cause fuel to leak out.

Close the bayonet-type fuel cap carefully after refueling.

Threaded fuel cap

After fueling, tighten down the screw-type fuel cap as securely as possible.

This helps reduce the risk of unit vibrations causing an incorrectly tightened fuel cap to loosen or come off and spill quantities of fuel.

TS 700, TS 800

English

Cut-off machine, spindle bearing

Correct spindle bearings ensure the concentricity and axial running of the diamond abrasive wheel – if necessary, get it checked by an approved dealer.

Abrasive cutting wheels

Selecting the abrasive cutting wheels Abrasive cutting wheels must be

approved for freehand cutting. Do not use other cutting wheels and attachments – risk of accident!

Abrasive cutting wheels are suitable for different materials: Observe the identification of the abrasive cutting wheels.

STIHL generally recommends wet cutting.

Observe the outer diame ter of the abrasive wheel.

Spindle hole diameter of the abrasive wheel and shaft of cut-off machine must match.

Check the spindle hole for damage. Do not use abrasive cutting wheels with a damaged spindle hole – risk of accident!

The permissible speed of the abrasive cutting wheel must be equal to or greater than the maxi mum spindle speed of the cut-off machine. – Refer to the chapter "Specifications".

Before fitting a used abrasive cutting wheel, check that it is not cracked, chipped, undercut or uneven, and does not display any signs of core fatigue or overheating (discoloration); check also the spindle hole is not damaged.

Never use cracked, chipped or bent abrasive cutting wheels.

Substandard and/or unapproved diamond abrasive wheels can shimmy during cutting. This shimmying can cause such diamond abrasive wheels to be abruptly braked or become stuck in the cut – Danger of kickback! Kickback can result in fatal injuries! Diamond

abrasive wheels that shimmy constantly or even only intermittently must be replaced immediately.

Never straighten diamond abrasive wheels.

Do not use an abrasive cutting wheel which has fallen to the ground – damaged abrasive cutting wheels may break – risk of accident!

Observe the expiration date where composite resin abrasive cutting wheels are concerned.

Fitting abrasive cutting wheels Inspect the spindle of the cut-off

machine. Do not use a cut-off machine if the spindle is damaged – risk of accident!

Note the arrows indicating the direction of rotation on diamond abrasive wheels.

Position the front pressure plate – tighten up the tensioning screw – rotate the abrasive cutting wheel by hand and take a sight check for concentricity and axial running.

Storing cutting wheels Store abrasive wheels in a dry and frost-

free place, on an even surface, at constant temperature – risk of breakage and splintering!

Always protect cutting wheels against sudden impact with the floor or objects.

Before starting

Inspect the cut-off machine for safe-tooperate state – observe the respective chapters in the User Manual:

– Check the fuel system for leaks,

especially the visible parts, e. g., fuel cap, hose connections, manual fuel pump (only in machines with a manual fuel pump). In case of leakage and damage, do not start the engine – risk of fire! Have the machine serviced by a dealer before using it

– The abrasive wheel must be

suitable for the material to be cut. It must be in good condition and fitted correctly (direction of rotation, secure).

– Inspect the abrasive wheel guard

for tight seat – if loose, contact your specialist dealer.

TS 700, TS 800

English

180BA022 KN

– Smooth action of throttle trigger and

throttle trigger lockout – throttle trigger must return automatically to idle position

– Slide control / master control lever /

stop switch must move easily to STOP or 0

– Check that the spark plug boot is

secure – a loose boot may cause sparking that could ignite combustible fumes and cause a fire!

– Never attempt to modify the controls

or safety devices

– Keep the handles clean, dry and

free of oil as well as dirt – important for safe guiding of the cut-off machine.

– For wet applications, provide

sufficient water

To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not operate your power tool if it is damaged or not properly assembled!

Starting the engine

Start the engine at least 3 meters from the fueling spot, outdoors only.

On even ground, ensure a firm and secure footing and hold the enginedriven device firmly – the abrasive wheel must not touch any objects or the ground and must not be in cutting action.

The abrasive wheel may begin to rotate as soon as the machine is started

The machine is operated by a single person only – do not allow any person to stay within the working area – nor with starting.

Do not drop start your machine – the correct starting procedure is described in the User Manual.

After releasing the throttle trigger, the abrasive wheel keeps on running for a while – danger of injury due to coasting effect!

Holding and guiding the machine

The cut-off machine may only be used for hand-held cutting or when mounted on a STIHL Cutquik cart.

Hand-held cutting

Always hold the machine firmly with both hands: Right hand on the rear handle – even if you are left-handed. To ensure safe control, wrap your fingers tightly around both handles.

When a cut-off machine with an abrasive cutting wheel rotating is moved in the direction of the arrow, a force is produced which causes the machine to tip sideways.

The object to be cut off has to be firmly supported. Always guide the machine towards the workpiece – never the other way round.

Cutquik cart STIHL cut-off machines can be mounted

onto a STIHL Cutquik cart.

002BA549 AM

Deflector

The adjustment range of the guard is determined by a stop pin. Never push the guard over the stop pin.

Set the abrasive wheel guard correctly: Guide particles of material away from the user and machine.

002BA550 AM

TS 700, TS 800

English

Note the direction of flight of the removed particles of material.

While working

If there is imminent danger or in an emergency, immediately stop the engine – set the slide control / master control lever /stop switch to STOP or 0.

Check for correct idling, so that the cutting wheel is no longer driven when the throttle trigger is released and comes to a complete halt.

Check and correct the idle speed setting at regular intervals. Have the machine repaired by a STIHL dealer if the cutting wheel continues to turn nevertheless.

Keep clear the working area – bear in mind obstacles, holes and pitches.

Take special care in slippery conditions – damp, snow, ice, on slopes or uneven ground.

Don not work while standing on a ladder – not on an insecure support – not over your shoulder height – not with one hand only – risk of accident!

Make sure you always have good balance and secure footing.

Do not work alone – keep within calling distance of others in case help is needed.

Keep out further persons from the working area – maintain sufficiently large distance to additional persons to protect them from noise and flying objects.

Be particularly alert and cautious when wearing hearing protection because your ability to hear warnings (shouts, alarms, etc.) is restricted.

Take a break in good time before you get tired.

Work calmly and carefully – in daylight conditions and only when visibility is good. Proceed with caution, do not put others in danger.

As soon as the engine is running, the power machine generates toxic exhaust gas. These gases may be odorless and invisible and may contain unburned hydro carbons and benzene. Never run the engine indoors or in poorly venti lated locations, even if your model is equipped with a catalytic converter.

Ensure proper ventilation when working in trenches, hollows or similar locations – risk of fatal injury from breathing toxic fumes!

Stop work immediately if you start suffering from nausea, headaches, impaired vision (e.g. your field of vision gets smaller), impaired hearing, dizziness, or impaired concentration – these symptoms may possibly be the result of too-high exhaust gas concentration – Risk of accidents!

To reduce the risk of fire, do not smoke while operating or standing near your power tool.

If your power tool is subjected to unusually high loads for which it was not designed (e.g. heavy impact or a fall), always check that it is in good condition before continuing work – see also "Before Starting". Check in particular that the fuel system has no leaks and the

safety equipment is fully operative. Never use a power tool that is no longer safe to operate. In case of doubt, contact a dealer.

Do not operate your power tool in the starting throttle position – engine speed cannot be controlled in this position.

Never touch a rotating abrasive cutting wheel with your hand or any other part of your body.

Examine the workplace. Avoid all danger due to damaged piping or electrical wiring.

The machine must not be used near inflammable substances or gases.

Do not cut into pipes, metal tanks or other containers if you are not sure that they do not contain any volatile or inflammable substances.

Never leave the machine unattended with the engine running. Stop the engine before leaving the machine unattended (e. g. for breaks).

Before putting the cut-off machine down on the ground:

– Shut off the engine – Wait until the abrasive cutting wheel

has come to a standstill or brake the abrasive cutting wheel until it comes to a standstill by carefully touching a hard surface (e.g., concrete slab)

Frequently inspect the abrasive cutting wheel – replace it right away if there are visible cracks, buckling or other damage (for example, overheat ing) – risk of accident due to breakage!

TS 700, TS 800

English

002BA552 AM

In the event of changes in cutting behavior (e. g., increased vibration, reduced cutting performance), stop work and eliminate the causes of the changes.

Reactive forces

The most frequently occurring reactive forces are kickback and pull-in.

Danger of kickback – Kickback can result in fatal injuries.

Kickback occurs when the cut-off machine is suddenly thrown up and back in an uncontrolled arc towards the operator.

Kickback occurs if, for example, the abrasive cutting wheel

– gets jammed – primarily in its upper

quarter, or

– is abruptly braked through friction

contact with a solid object

To reduce the risk of kickback – Work cautiously and avoid

situations which could cause kickback.

– Hold the cut-off machine firmly with

both hands and maintain a secure grip

– If possible, avoid using the upper

quarter of the abrasive cutting wheel for cutting. Use extreme caution when guiding the abrasive cutting wheel into a cut, do not twist or push into the cut

002BA551 AM

– Avoid any wedge effect - the

severed part must not brake the abrasive cutting wheel

– Always be aware that the object to

be cut may move and other factors may cause the cut to close and jam the abrasive cutting wheel.

– The object to be cut must be

secured and supported so that the kerf remains open during and after cutting

– Objects to be cut must therefore be

fully supported and must be secured against rolling away, slipping off or vibrations

– Support an uncovered pipe stable

and solid, if necessary, use wedges – always bear in mind a proper support and ground – material may crumble away,

– Always work with water and wet

cutting when using diamond abrasive wheels

– Depending on the version,

composite resin abrasive cutting wheels are suitable only for dry cutting or only for wet cutting. Always use wet cutting with

002BA555 AM

composite resin abrasive cutting wheels that are suitable only for wet cutting

002BA556 AM

TS 700, TS 800

English

Pull away from

The cut-off machine pulls forward, away from the user, when the abrasive wheel touches the object to be cut from above.

Working – cutting off

The cutting wheel must be guided straight in the cut, without wedging. Never exert lateral pres

sure on the cutting wheel.

Do not use for lateral grinding or scrubbing.

Do not lean too far forwards and never bend over the abrasive wheel when the guard has been pulled back.

Do not work above shoulder height. The cut-off machine may only be used

for cutting. It must not be used as a lever or shovel.

Do not press down on the cut-off machine

002BA553 AM

Always decide the cutting direction before positioning the cut-off machine. After that, do not change the cutting direction. Never push or hit with the device into the cutting gap – do not let the concrete cutter fall into the cutting depth – risk of breakage!

Diamond abrasive wheels: If cutting performance begins to deteriorate, check the sharpness of the diamond cutting wheel, resharpen as needed. To do this, briefly cut through abrasive material, e. g., sandstone, aerated concrete or asphalt.

At the end of the cut, the cut-off machine is no longer supported by the abrasive wheel in the cut. The user has to absorb the weight force – risk of loss of control!

When cutting steel: glow ing metal particles may cause fires!

When applying diamond abrasive wheels, take a wet cut – for example, use the STIHL water connector.

Depending on the version, composite resin abrasive cutting wheels are suitable only for dry cutting or only for wet cutting.

When using composite resin abrasive cutting wheels which are suited for wet cuts only, take such wet cuts only – for example, use the STIHL water connector.

When using composite resin abrasive cutting wheels which are suited for dry cuts only, take such dry cuts only. If however composite resin abrasive cutting wheels of this type become wet, their cutting performance is reduced and they become dull. If composite resin abrasive cutting wheels of this type become wet while working (e. g., due to puddles or water in pipes), do not increase the cutting pressure, but continue working with the same pressure – risk of breakage! Use up such composite resin abrasive cutting wheels immediately.

Cutquik cart

Clear a path for the Cutquik cart. If the Cutquik cart is pushed over objects, the abrasive wheel may become wedged in the cut and shatter!

Do not stand in line with the abrasive wheel. Ensure sufficient freedom of movement, especially in construction trenches there must be sufficient space for the user and for the part being cut to fall.

TS 700, TS 800

Keep water and sludge away from alive electrical cables – risk of electric shock!

002BA554 AM

Drag the abrasive wheel into the workpiece – do not push it into the material. Do not correct severing cuts with the cut-off machine. Do not re-cut – remove left webs or breaking edges (for example, with a hammer).

Vibrations

Prolonged use of the power tool may result in vibration-induced circulation problems in the hands (whitefinger disease).

English

No general recommendation can be given for the length of usage because it depends on several factors.

The period of usage is prolonged by: – Hand protection (wearing warm

gloves) – Work breaks The period of usage is shortened by: – Any personal tendency to suffer

from poor circulation (symptoms:

frequently cold fingers, tingling

sensations).

– Low outside temperatures. – The force with which the handles

are held (a tight grip restricts

circulation). Continual and regular users should

monitor closely the condition of their hands and fingers. If any of the above symptoms appear (e.g. tingling sensation in fingers), seek medical advice.

Maintenance and repairs

The machine must be serviced regularly. Do not attempt any maintenance or repair work not described in the Instruction Manual. All other work should be carried out by a servicing dealer.

STIHL recommends that maintenance and repair work be carried out only by authorized STIHL dealers. STIHL dealers receive regular training and are supplied with technical information.

Use only high-quality replacement parts, in order to avoid the risk of accidents or damage to the machine. Contact a dealer if in doubt.

STIHL recommends the use of genuine STIHL spare parts. Such parts have been optimized for the machine and the user's requirements.

Before starting any maintenance or repair work and before cleaning the machine, always stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug boot – risk of injury if the engine starts up inadvertently! – Exception: adjustment of carburetor and idle speed.

To reduce the risk of fire due to ignition outside the cylinder, move the slide control / stop switch to STOP or 0 before turning the engine over on the starter with the spark plug boot removed or the spark plug unscrewed.

Do not service or store the machine near a naked flame – risk of fire due to the fuel.

Check fuel cap regularly for tightness. Use only spark plugs that are in perfect

condition and have been approved by STIHL – see Specifications.

Inspect ignition lead (insulation in good condition, secure connection).

Check that the muffler is in perfect working condition.

Do not use the machine if the muffler is damaged or missing - risk of fire! – Hearing damage!

Never touch a hot muffler – risk of burns! Check the rubber buffers underneath

the machine - the housing must not rub against the ground - risk of damage!

The condition of the antivibration elements influences vibration behavior – inspect antivibration elements periodically.

Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices and systems may be performed by any nonroad engine repair establishment or individual. However, if you make a warranty claim for a component which has not been serviced or maintained properly, STIHL may deny coverage.

For any maintenance please refer to the maintenance chart and to the warranty statement near the end of the instruction manual.

Severed parts With openings, recesses, etc., the

sequence of the cuts is important. Always make the last cut so that the abrasive wheel does not become jammed and so that the operator is not endangered by the severed or separated part.

If necessary, leave small ridges that hold the part that is to be separated in position. Break these ridges later.

Before finally separating the part, determine:

– how heavy the part is – how it can move after separation – whether it is under tension

When breaking out the part, do not endanger assistants.

Cut in several passes

Depending on the version, resin abrasive wheels are only suitable for dry cutting or only for wet cutting.

Composite resin abrasive wheels suitable only for dry cutting

During dry cutting, wear a suitable dust mask.

A faultless spindle bearing of the cut-off machine is necessary for a long service life and efficient functioning of the diamond abrasive wheel.

Using the abrasive wheel on a cut-off machine with a faulty spindle bearing can lead to deviations in radial and axial run-out.

An excessively high radial run-out deviation (A) overloads individual diamond segments, which overheat in the process. This can lead to stress cracks in the parent wheel or to annealing of individual segments.

Deviations in axial run-out (B) result in higher thermal loading and wider cuts.

Undercut

Do not cut into the base course (frequently chipped stones and gravel) when cutting roadway pavement – cutting in chipped stones and gravel is revealed by light-colored dust – excessive undercut may occur as a result – Danger of shattering!

TS 700, TS 800

English

Built-up edges, sharpen

Built-up edges take the form of a light gray deposit on the tops of the diamond segments. This deposit on the segments clogs the diamonds and blunts the segments.

Built-up edges can form: – when cutting extremely hard

materials, e. g., granite – with incorrect handling, e. g.,

excessive feed effort Built-up edges increase vibration,

reduce cutting performance, and cause formation of sparks.

At the first signs of built-up edges, immediately "sharpen" the diamond abrasive wheel – to do this, briefly cut through abrasive material such as sandstone, aerated concrete or asphalt.

Addition of water prevents the formation of built-up edges.

If work continues with dull segments, these may soften due to the high heat generated – the parent wheel is annealed and its strength is compromised – this can lead to stresses that are clearly recognizable by gyrations of the abrasive wheel. Do not continue to use the abrasive wheel – Risk of accident!

WARNING

Never use two abrasive wheels at the same time. The uneven wear creates a risk of breaking and an injury hazard!

Fuel

This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline and with the mix ratio 50:1.

Your engine requires a mixture of highquality premium gasoline and highquality two-stroke air-cooled engine oil.

Use premium branded unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 89 (R+M)/2.

Note: Models equipped with a catalytic converter require unleaded gasoline. A few tankfuls of leaded gasoline can reduce the efficiency of the catalytic converter by more than 50%.

Fuel with a lower octane rating may result in preignition (causing "pinging") which is accompanied by an increase in engine temperature. This, in turn, increases the risk of the 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 as well. This could cause running problems or even damage the engine. For this reason it is essential that you use only high-quality fuels!

Fuels with different percentages of ethanol are being offered. Ethanol can affect the running behaviour of the engine and increase the risk of lean seizure.

Gasoline with an ethanol content of more than 10% can cause running problems and major damage in engines with a manually adjustable carburetor and should not be used in such engines.

Engines equipped with M-Tronic can be run on gasoline with an ethanol content of up to 25% (E25).

Use only STIHL two-stroke engine oil or equivalent high-quality two-stroke aircooled engine oils for mixing.

We recommend STIHL 50:1 two-stroke engine oil since it is specially formulated for use in STIHL engines.

To ensure the maximum performance of your STIHL engine, use a high quality 2cycle engine oil. To help your engine run cleaner and reduce harmful carbon deposits, STIHL recommends using STIHL HP Ultra 2-cycle engine oil or ask your dealer for an equivalent fully synthetic 2-cycle engine oil.

To meet the requirements of EPA and CARB we recommend to use STIHL HP Ultra oil.

Do not use BIA or TCW (two-stroke water cooled) mix oils!

Use only STIHL 50:1 heavy-duty engine oil or an equivalent quality two-stroke engine oil for the fuel mix in models equipped with a catalytic converter.

Take care when handling gasoline. Avoid direct contact with the skin and avoid inhaling fuel vapour.

The canister should be kept tightly closed in order to avoid any moisture getting into the mixture.

TS 700, TS 800

English

376BA102 KN

376BA103 KN

376BA104 KN

The fuel tank and the canister in which fuel mix is stored should be cleaned from time to time.

Fuel mix ratio

Only mix sufficient fuel for a few days work, not to exceed 30 days of storage. Store in approved safety fuel-canisters only. When mixing, pour oil into the canister first, and then add gasoline.

Examples Gasoline Oil (STIHL 50:1 or equiva

lent high-quality oils)

liters liters (ml)

10.02(20) 5 0.10 (100) 10 0.20 (200) 15 0.30 (300) 20 0.40 (400) 25 0.50 (500)

Dispose of empty mixing-oil canisters only at authorized disposal locations.
