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 about 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
Remove, clean and inspect the
cutting attachment. Coat metal
cutting attachments with corrosion
inhibitor.
N
Thoroughly clean the machine – pay
special attention to the cylinder fins
and air filter.
N
Store the machine in a dry and
secure location – out of the reach of
children and other unauthorized
persons.
N
Use a sharpening file (special
accessory) 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.
Balancing
N
After resharpening about 5 times,
check the cutting attachment for
out-of-balance on a STIHL balancer
(special accessory) or have it
checked by a dealer and re-
balanced as necessary – STIHL
recommends a STIHL servicing
dealer.
