WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury,
use only spark plugs authorized by
STIHL. Always press the spark plug
boot (1) snugly onto the spark plug
terminal (2).
Do not use a spark plug with a
detachable SAE adapter terminal (3).
Arcing may occur that could ignite
combustible fumes and cause a fire.
This can result in serious injuries or
damage to property.
N
Only use resistor type spark plugs
with solid, non-threaded terminals
Installing the spark plug
N
Screw home the spark plug, fit the
boot and press it down firmly.
If engine running behavior is
unsatisfactory even though the air filter
is clean and the carburetor is properly
adjusted, the cause may be the muffler.
Have the muffler checked for
contamination (carbonization) by your
servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends that you have
servicing and repair work carried out
exclusively by an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer.
For periods of 3 months or longer
N
Drain and clean the fuel tank in a
well ventilated area.
N
Dispose of fuel properly in
accordance with local
environmental requirements.
N
Run the engine until the carburetor
is dry – this helps prevent the
carburetor diaphragms sticking
together.
N
Thoroughly clean the machine – pay
special attention to the cylinder fins
and air filter.
N
Remove, clean and inspect the
cutting blade.
N
Store the machine in a dry, high or

persons.
