Fueling Instructions - Stihl BR 500 Manual De Instrucciones

English / USA
STIHL offers an optional kit for use in
especially dry and dusty conditions. The
kit contains: (1) blower tubes made with
graphite to help conduct the charge back
to the control handle, and (2) a metal
ring with "wire" for inseration in the end
tube that helps reduce the buildup of
static electricity.
If your blower is properly assembled and
you are still experiencing static shocks,
make sure that your footware has
conductive soles and try operating your
unit without gloves, which may be
interfering with the conduction of the
charge.

Transporting the Power Tool
!
Warning!
Always switch off the engine before
taking the machine off your back and
putting it down. When transporting it in a
vehicle, properly secure it to prevent
turnover, fuel spillage and damage to the
unit.
Fuel
Your STIHL power tool uses an oil-
gasoline mixture for fuel (see the chap-
ter 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.
