clean. Remove excess lubricant and all
debris such as pine needles, branches
or leaves. Let the engine cool down
sitting on concrete, metal, bare ground
or solid wood away from any
combustible substances.
WARNING
An improperly mounted or damaged
cylinder housing or a
damaged/deformed muffler shell may
interfere with the cooling process of the
muffler. To reduce the risk of fire or burn
injury, do not continue work with a
damaged or improperly mounted
cylinder housing or a
damaged/deformed muffler shell.
Your muffler is furnished with a spark
arresting screen designed to reduce the
risk of fire from the emission of hot
particles. Never operate your unit with a
missing or damaged spark arresting
screen. If your gas/oil mix ratio is correct
(i.e., not too rich), this screen will
normally stay clean as a result of the
heat from the muffler and need no
service or maintenance. If you
experience loss of performance and you
suspect a clogged screen, have your
muffler maintained by a STIHL servicing
dealer. Some state or federal laws or
regulations may require a properly
maintained spark arrestor for certain
uses. See the "Maintenance, Repair and
Storing" section of these Safety
Precautions. Remember that the risk of
a brush or forest fire is greater in hot or
dry conditions.
MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND
STORING
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of
the emission control devices and
systems may be performed by any
nonroad engine repair establishment or
individual. However, if you make a
warranty claim for a component which
has not been serviced or maintained
properly, STIHL may deny coverage.
WARNING
Use only identical STIHL replacement
parts for maintenance and repair. Use of
non-STIHL parts may cause serious or
fatal injury.
Strictly follow the maintenance and
repair instructions in the appropriate
section of your MultiEngine and
MultiTool instruction manuals. Please
refer to the maintenance charts
respectively the maintenance notes in
these manuals.
WARNING
Always stop the engine and make sure
that the working tool is stopped before
doing any maintenance or repair work or
cleaning the power tool. Do not attempt
any maintenance or repair work not
described in your MultiEngine and
MultiTool instruction manuals. Have
such work performed by your STIHL
servicing dealer only.
Wear gloves when handling or
performing maintenance on any blade.
WARNING
Never repair damaged working tools by
welding, straightening or modifying the
shape. This may cause parts of the
working tool to come off and result in
serious or fatal injuries.
WARNING
Use the specified spark plug and make
sure it and the ignition lead are always
clean and in good condition. Always
press spark plug boot snugly onto spark
plug terminal of the proper size. (Note: If
terminal has a detachable SAE adapter
nut, it must be attached.) A loose
connection between spark plug boot and
the ignition wire connector in the boot
may create arcing that could ignite
combustible fumes and cause a fire.
WARNING
Never test the ignition system with the
ignition wire boot removed from the
spark plug or with a removed spark plug,
since uncontained sparking may cause
a fire.
WARNING
Do not operate your power tool if the
muffler is damaged, missing or modified.
An improperly maintained muffler will
increase the risk of fire and hearing loss.
Your muffler is equipped with a spark-
arresting screen to reduce the risk of
fire; never operate your power tool if the
screen is missing, damaged or clogged.
Remember that the risk of a brush or
forest fire is greater in hot or dry
weather.
