In order to prevent fire hazards, keep the 
area around the air vents, cooling ribs and 
the area of the exhaust free from 
e.g. grass, straw, moss, leaves or 
escaping grease.

Maintenance operations:

Only maintenance operations described in 
this instruction manual may be carried out. 
Have all other work performed by a 
specialist dealer.
If you do not have the necessary expertise 
or auxiliary equipment, please 

always

 

contact a specialist dealer.
STIHL recommends that you have 
maintenance operations and repairs 
performed exclusively by a STIHL 
specialist dealer.
STIHL specialist dealers regularly attend 
training courses and are provided with 
technical information. 

Only use tools, accessories or 
attachments approved for this machine by 
STIHL or technically identical parts. 
Otherwise, there may be a risk of 
accidents resulting in personal injury or 
damage to the machine. If you have any 
questions, please consult a specialist 
dealer.

The characteristics of original STIHL tools, 
accessories and spare parts are optimally 
adapted to the machine and the user's 
requirements. Genuine STIHL spare parts 
can be recognised by the STIHL spare 
parts number, by the STIHL lettering and, 
if present, by the STIHL spare parts 
symbol. On smaller parts, only the symbol 
may be present.

For safety reasons, fuel-carrying 
components (fuel line, fuel cock, fuel tank, 
tank cap, connections, etc.) must be 
checked regularly for damage and leaks 

and replaced by a technician if necessary 
(STIHL recommends STIHL specialist 
dealers).

Always keep warning and information 
stickers clean and readable. Damaged or 
missing stickers must be replaced by new, 
original plates from your STIHL specialist 
dealer. If a component is replaced with a 
new component, ensure that the new 
component is provided with the same 
stickers.

Only perform work on the cutting unit when 
wearing thick work gloves and exercising 
extreme care.

Ensure that all nuts, pins and screws, 
especially all the cutting unit screws, are 
securely tightened, so that the machine is 
in a safe operating condition.

Check the entire machine for wear or 
damage on a regular basis, particularly 
before extended periods when the 
machine is not in use (e.g. over winter). 
For safety reasons, worn or damaged 
parts must be replaced immediately to 
ensure that the machine is always in a safe 
operating condition.

Never alter the basic setting of the engine 
or run at excessive engine speeds.

Components or guards that are removed 
for maintenance operations must be 
properly reinstalled immediately.

4.8 Storage for prolonged periods 
without operation

Allow the engine to cool before storing the 
machine in an enclosed space.

Store the machine with empty fuel tank 
and the fuel reserve in a lockable and well-
ventilated room.

Ensure that the machine is protected from 
unauthorised use (e.g. by children).

Never store the machine with petrol in the 
tank inside a building. The resulting petrol 
fumes could come into contact with naked 
flames or sparks and could be ignited.

If the tank has to be emptied 
(e.g. immobilisation before the winter 
break), the fuel tank must be emptied out 
of doors only (empty the tank by running 
the engine out of doors, for example).

Thoroughly clean the machine before 
storage (e.g. winter break).

Only store the machine with the spark plug 
socket disconnected.

Store the machine in good operational 
condition.

Only transport the garden shredder with 
the feed chute fitted.

Risk of injury due to exposed blades.

4.9 Disposal

Waste products such as used engine oil or 
fuel, used lubricants, filters, batteries and 
similar wearing parts can be harmful to 
people, animals and the environment, and 
must consequently be disposed of 
properly.

Consult your recycling centre or your 
specialist dealer for information on the 
proper disposal of waste products. STIHL 
recommends STIHL specialist dealers.

Ensure that old machines are properly 
disposed of. Render the machine 
unusable prior to disposal. In order to 
prevent accidents, remove the ignition 
lead, empty the fuel tank and drain the 
engine oil in particular.
