If engine running behavior is still
unsatisfactory after the air filter has been
serviced and the carburetor and throttle
cable have been adjusted correctly, the
cause may also be in the muffler.
Have the muffler checked for
contamination (coking) by a servicing
dealer!
STIHL recommends that maintenance
and repair work be carried out only by
authorized STIHL dealers.
If the machine is to remain out of use for
approx. 3 months or more
N
Drain and clean the fuel tank in a
well ventilated place
N
Dispose of fuel in accordance with
the regulations and having regard
for the environment
N
Run the engine until the carburetor
is dry. This helps to prevent the
carburetor diaphragms sticking
together.
N
Remove, clean and inspect the
cutting attachment. Treat metal
cutting attachments with protective
oil.
N
Thoroughly clean the machine
N
Store the machine in a dry and safe
place, out of the reach of children
and other unauthorized users
N
Use a sharpening file (see "Special
Accessories") to sharpen dull
cutting attachments. In case of
more serious wear or nicks:
Resharpen with a grinder or have
the work done by a dealer – STIHL
recommends a STIHL servicing
dealer.
N
Sharpen frequently, take away as
little metal as possible – two or three
strokes of the file are usually
enough.
N
Resharpen the teeth (1) uniformly –
do not alter the contour of the parent
blade (2) in any way.
See cutting attachment packaging for
additional sharpening instructions. Keep
the packaging for future reference.
