Please always observe the following
important information for the prevention of
damage or excessive wear to your STIHL

1
. Wearing parts
Some parts of the STIHL machine are
subject to normal wear even when used

depending on type and duration of use.
These include:
– Blade
– Blade disc
2. Compliance with the information in
this instruction manual
The STIHL machine must be used,

user.
This applies in particular to:

3. Maintenance operations
All operations listed in the section
"Maintenance" must be performed
regularly.
If these maintenance operations cannot be
carried out by the user, a specialist dealer
must be commissioned to perform them.
Risk of injury at steps, stepped
areas and sloping ramps.
Because of the weight, particular
care is required at steps, kerbs,
stepped areas, other raised areas
and sloping ramps.
Push and do not pull the machine
down steps, stepped areas and
other raised areas and sloping
ramps. The user must always stand
higher than the machine, in order to
avoid being run over by the
machine in the case of loss of
control.
Do not push the machine down
more than two or three steps.
Where there are more steps, carry
the machine with the help of a
second person.
Risk of injury due to the heavy
weight of the machine.
Due to its heavy weight (> 50 kg),
we strongly recommend that you do
not carry the machine, but only
move it on its wheels by pushing.
Suitable lifters must be used when
lifting or carrying the machine for
short distances.
Two persons are always
required to manually lift
the machine. Wear
suitable protective
clothing; the lower arms and upper
