Observing the instructions in this manual
helps reduce the risk of unnecessary
wear and damage to the power tool.
The power tool must be operated,
maintained and stored with the due care
and attention described in this owner's
manual.
The user is responsible for all damage
caused by non-observance of the safety
precautions, operating and maintenance
instructions in this manual. This includes
in particular:

are neither approved or suitable for
the product or are of a poor quality.

Maintenance Work
All the operations described in the
"Maintenance Chart" must be performed
on a regular basis. If these maintenance
operations cannot be performed by the
owner, they should be performed by a
servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends that you have
servicing and repair work carried out
exclusively by an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer. STIHL dealers are
regularly given the opportunity to attend
training courses and are supplied with
the necessary technical information.
If these maintenance operations are not
carried out as specified, the user
assumes responsibility for any damage
that may occur. Among other parts, this
includes:
– Damage to the engine due to
neglect or deficient maintenance
(e.g. air and fuel filters), incorrect
carburetor adjustment or
inadequate cleaning of cooling air
inlets (intake ports, cylinder fins).
– Corrosion and other consequential
damage resulting from improper
storage.
– Damage to the machine resulting
from the use of poor quality
replacement parts.
Parts Subject to Wear and Tear
Some parts of the power tool are subject
to normal wear and tear even during
regular operation in accordance with
instructions and, depending on the type
and duration of use, have to be replaced
in good time. Among other parts, this
includes:

– Mounting hardware for cutting
attachments (rider plate, nut, etc.)
