Caution – risk of accident!

STIHL garden shredders are suitable for

not permitted and may be dangerous or 
result in damage to the machine.

The garden shredder must not be used 
(incomplete list):

– for any other materials (e.g. glass, 

metal).

– for tasks other than those described in 

this instruction manual.

– for the preparation of foodstuffs 

(e.g. crushing ice, mashing pulp).

For safety reasons, any modification to the 
machine, except the proper installation of 
accessories approved by STIHL, is 

forbidden and results in voiding of the 
warranty cover. Information regarding 
approved accessories can be obtained 
from your STIHL specialist dealer.

In particular, any tampering with the 
machine which increases the power output 
or speed of the engine or motor is 
forbidden.

on the machine.

Particular care is required during use in

4.2 Refilling the tank – handling petrol

Petrol must only be stored in appropriate, 
tested containers (canisters). Always 
screw on the fuel tank and canister caps 
properly and tightly. Defective caps must 
be replaced for safety reasons.

Never use beverage bottles or similar for 
disposal or storage of fuels and lubricants. 
Persons, particularly children, could be 
tempted to drink out of them.

Keep petrol away from sparks, 
naked flames, pilot lights, heat 
sources, and other ignition 
sources. Do not smoke!

Refill the tank out-of-doors and do not 
smoke during refilling.

Before refilling the tank, stop the engine 
and allow it to cool.

Risk of death from suffocation!

Packaging material is not a toy -

Danger to life!

Petrol is poisonous and extremely 
inflammable.
