:DUQLQJ
To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury,
use only spark plugs authorized by
STIHL (see “Specifications”). Always
press spark plug boot  snugly onto
spark plug terminal  of the proper
size. (Note: If terminal has detachable
SAE adapter nut, it must be attached.) 
A loose connection between spark plug
terminal and ignition wire connector in
the boot may create arcing that could 
ignite combustible fumes and cause a
fire.
