To help prolong the wear life of the
starter rope, observe the following
points:
N
Pull the starter rope only in the
direction specified.
N
Do not pull the rope over the edge of
the guide bushing.
N
Do not pull out the rope more than
specified.
N
Do not allow the starter grip to snap
back, guide it back into the housing
slowly – see chapter on "Starting /
Stopping the Engine."
Have a damaged starter rope replaced
by your dealer before it breaks
completely. STIHL recommends that
you have servicing and repair work
carried out exclusively by an authorized
STIHL servicing dealer.
When cutting performance and behavior
begin to deteriorate, i.e. blades
frequently snag on branches:
Resharpen the cutting blades.
It is best to have the cutting blades
resharpened by a dealer on a workshop
sharpener. STIHL recommends a STIHL
servicing dealer.
It is also possible to use a flat crosscut
sharpening file. Hold the sharpening file
at the prescribed angle (see
"Specifications").
N
Only sharpen the cutting edge – do
not file blunt projecting parts of the
cutting blade or the cutting blade
guard (see "Main Parts and
Controls")
N
Always file towards the cutting
edge.
N
The file only sharpens on the
forward stroke – lift it off the blade
on the backstroke.
N
Use a whetstone to remove burr
from cutting edge.
N
Remove as little material as
possible.
N
After sharpening, clean away filing
or grinding dust and then spray the
cutting blades with STIHL resin
solvent.
NOTICE
Do not operate your machine with dull or
damaged cutting blades. This may
cause overload and will give
unsatisfactory cutting results.
During break-in period
A factory-new machine should not be
run at high revs (full throttle off load) for
the first three tank fillings. This avoids
unnecessary high loads during the
break-in period. As all moving parts
have to bed in during the break-in
period, the frictional resistances in the
engine are greater during this period.
The engine develops its maximum
power after about 5 to 15 tank fillings.
During Operation
After a long period of full throttle
operation, allow the engine to run for a
short while at idle speed so that engine
heat can be dissipated by the flow of
cooling air. This protects engine-
mounted components (ignition,
carburetor) from thermal overload.
After Finishing Work
Storing for a short period: Wait for the
engine to cool down. Empty the fuel tank
and keep the machine in a dry place,
well away from sources of ignition, until
you need it again. For longer out-of-
service periods – see "Storing the
Machine".
