Maintenance and Repairs
Always move the retaining latch to
ƒ
and remove the battery before carrying
out any repairs or maintenance work on
the power tool. This avoids the risk of
the motor starting unintentionally.
Service the machine regularly. Do not
attempt any maintenance or repair work
not described in the instruction manual.
Have all other work performed by a
servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends that you have
servicing and repair work carried out
exclusively by an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer. STIHL dealers are
regularly given the opportunity to attend
training courses and are supplied with
the necessary technical information.
Only use high-quality replacement parts
in order to avoid the risk of accidents
and damage to the unit. If you have any
questions in this respect, consult a
servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends the use of genuine
STIHL replacement parts. They are
specifically designed to match your
model and meet your performance
requirements.
Never attempt to modify your power tool
in any way since this will increase the
risk of personal injury.
Regularly check the electrical contacts
and ensure that the insulation of the
connecting cord and plug of the charger
is in good condition and shows no sign
of ageing (brittleness).
Electrical components, e.g. connecting
cord of charger, may only be repaired or
replaced by a qualified electrician.
Clean plastic components with a cloth.
Do not use aggressive detergents. They
may damage the plastic.
Check tightness of mounting screws on
safety devices and the cutting
attachment and retighten if necessary.
Clean cooling air inlets in motor housing
as necessary.
Keep the battery guides free from
foreign matter – clean as necessary.
Store the power tool in a dry, locked
location with the retaining latch on
ƒ
and the battery removed.
The power tool is operated with a
rechargeable battery. Use only STIHL
chargers to recharge the battery.
Data exchange
The power tool, battery and charger
communicate with each other. The
charger charges the battery and the
battery supplies the necessary power
only if the data exchange functions
properly. For this reason you should
operate your power tool only with the
approved STIHL batteries and STIHL
chargers.
