Fueling
Gasoline is an extremely flammable fuel. Keep clear of naked flames. Do not spill any fuel – do not smoke. ⛽
- Always shut off the engine before refueling.
- Do not fuel a hot engine – fuel may spill and cause a fire.
- Always remove the power tool from your back and put it on the ground before refueling. Fuel the unit only when it is standing on the ground.
- Open the fuel cap carefully to allow any pressure build-up in the tank to release slowly and avoid fuel spillage.
- Fuel your power tool only in well-ventilated areas. If you spill fuel, wipe the machine immediately – if fuel gets on your clothing, change immediately.
WARNING
Check for leakage. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal burn injuries, do not start or run the engine until the leak is fixed. ⚠️
Screw-type fuel cap
Never use a tool to open or close the screw-type fuel cap. This may damage the cap and cause fuel leakage.
After fueling, tighten down the screw-type fuel cap as securely as possible.
Before Starting
- Check that your power tool is properly assembled and in good condition – refer to appropriate chapters in the instruction manual.
- Check the fuel system for leaks, paying special attention to visible parts such as the tank cap, hose connections, and the manual fuel pump (on machines so equipped). If there are any leaks or damage, do not start the engine – risk of fire. Have your machine repaired by a servicing dealer before using it again.
- Throttle trigger must move freely and spring back to the idle position when released.
- The setting lever must move easily to STOP or 0.
- The blower tubes must be properly assembled.
- Keep the handles dry and clean, free from oil and dirt – for safe control of the power tool.
- Check that the spark plug boot is secure – a loose boot may cause arcing that could ignite combustible fumes and cause a fire.
- Never attempt to modify the controls or the safety devices in any way.
- Check condition of blower housing.
- Check condition of harness straps and replace damaged or worn straps.
- A worn blower housing (cracks, nicks, chips) may result in an increased risk of injury from thrown foreign objects. If the blower housing is damaged, consult your dealer - STIHL recommends you contact a STIHL servicing dealer.
- To reduce the risk of accidents, do not operate your power tool if it is not properly assembled and in good condition.
- For emergencies: Practice quickly releasing the shoulder straps and taking the unit off your back.
Starting the Engine
- Start the engine at least 3 meters from the fueling spot, outdoors only.
- Your power tool is designed to be operated by one person only. Do not allow other persons in the work area, even when starting.
- Do not drop start the power tool – start the engine as described in the instruction manual.
- Place the power tool on level ground, make sure you have secure footing, and hold the power tool securely.
- As soon as the engine starts, the air flow may throw small objects (e.g., stones) in your direction.
During Operation
In the event of impending danger or in an emergency, switch off the engine immediately by moving the setting lever to STOP or 0.
Working Technique
To minimize blowing time, use a rake and broom to loosen dirt particles before you start blowing.
Recommended working technique to minimize air pollution:
- If necessary, dampen the surface to be cleaned in order to avoid creating too much dust.
- Do not blow particles in the direction of bystanders, in particular in the direction of children, pets, open windows, or freshly washed vehicles. Take special care in such situations.
- Remove the blow-swept debris in rubbish bins – do not blow it onto the neighbor's land.
Recommended working technique to minimize noise:
- Operate your power tool at reasonable times only – not early in the morning, late at night, or during midday rest periods when people could be disturbed. Observe local rest periods.
- Operate blowers at the lowest engine speed necessary to accomplish the task.
- Check your blower before starting work. Pay special attention to the muffler, air intakes, and air filter.
Vibrations
Prolonged use of the power tool may result in vibration-induced circulation problems in the hands (whitefinger disease).
No general recommendation can be given for the length of usage because it depends on several factors.
The period of usage is prolonged by:
- Keeping your hands warm
- Work breaks
The period of usage is shortened by:
- Any personal tendency to suffer from poor circulation (symptoms: frequently cold fingers, itching).
- Low outside temperatures.
- Gripping force (a tight grip hinders 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.

STIHL MotoMix uses STIHL HP Ultra two-stroke engine oil for an extra long engine life.
MotoMix is not available in all markets.
Mixing Fuel
Gasoline with an ethanol content of more than 10% can cause running problems in engines with a manually adjustable carburetor and should not be used in such engines.
Engines equipped with M-Tronic deliver full power when run on gasoline with an ethanol content of up to 25% (E25).
Engine Oil
If you mix the fuel yourself, use only STIHL two-stroke engine oil or another high-performance engine oil in accordance with JASO FB, JASO FC, JASO FD, ISO-L-EGB, ISO-L-EGC, or ISO-L-EGD.
STIHL specifies STIHL HP Ultra two-stroke engine oil or an equivalent high-performance engine oil in order to maintain emission limits over the machine's service life.
Mix Ratio
STIHL 50:1 two-stroke engine oil: 50 parts gasoline to 1 part oil
Examples
Gasoline (Liters) | STIHL engine oil (Liters / ml) |
---|---|
1 | 0.02 (20) |
5 | 0.10 (100) |
10 | 0.20 (200) |
15 | 0.30 (300) |
20 | 0.40 (400) |
25 | 0.50 (500) |
NOTICE
Unsuitable fuels or lubricants or mix ratios other than those specified may result in serious damage to the engine. Poor quality gasoline or engine oil may damage the engine, sealing rings, hoses, and the fuel tank.
Gasoline
Use only high-quality brand-name gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 90 - leaded or unleaded.
Use a canister approved for storing fuel. Pour oil into canister first, then add gasoline and mix thoroughly.
Storing Fuel
Store fuel only in approved safety-type fuel canisters in a dry, cool, and safe location protected from light and the sun.
Fuel mix ages – only mix sufficient fuel for a few weeks' work. Do not store fuel mix for longer than 30 days. Exposure to light, the sun, low or high temperatures can quickly make the fuel mix unusable.
STIHL MotoMix may be stored for up to 2 years without any problems.
- Thoroughly shake the mixture in the canister before fueling your machine.
WARNING
Pressure may build up in the canister – open it carefully. ⚠️
- Clean the fuel tank and canister from time to time.
