how to start a stihl fs 111 rx weed eater

To start a Stihl FS 111 RX weed eater, follow these steps:

  1. Make sure you are wearing the proper safety gear, including eye protection, gloves, and long pants.
  2. Fill the fuel tank with a mixture of 2-cycle engine oil and gasoline. The ratio should be 50:1, which means 50 parts gasoline to 1 part 2-cycle engine oil.
  3. Prime the weed eater by pressing the primer bulb until it feels firm.
  4. Set the choke lever to the “Closed” position.
