Do not turn the engine over on the starter with
the spark plug boot or spark plug removed
unless the slide control / stop switch is on STOP
or 0 since there is otherwise a risk of fire from
uncontained sparking.
To reduce the risk of fire, do not service or store
your machine near open flames.
Check the fuel filler cap for leaks at regular inter‐
vals.
Use only a spark plug of the type approved by
STIHL and make sure it is in good condition –
see "Specifications".
Inspect the ignition lead (insulation in good con‐
dition, secure connection).
Check the condition of the muffler.
To reduce the risk of fire and damage to hearing,
do not operate your machine if the muffler is
damaged or missing.
Do not touch a hot muffler since burn injury will
result.
Vibration behavior is influenced by the condition
of the AV elements – check the AV elements at
regular intervals.

Mounting Bike Handle with
Swiveling Handle Support
The machine is supplied with the swiveling han‐
dle support already mounted on the shaft. To
mount the handlebar it is necessary to remove
the clamp moldings.

Removing the Clamp Moldings
► Hold the lower clamp (1) and upper clamp (2)
firmly together.
► Release the wing screw (3) – the clamps are
loose once the wing screw has been released.
They are pushed apart by the two
springs (4 and 5).
► Pull out the wing screw – the washer (6)
remains on the wing screw.
► Separate the clamp moldings – the
springs (4 and 5) remain in the lower clamp.
