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 or if
nonapproved replacement parts were
used, 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
sections of your instruction manuals.
Please refer to the maintenance charts
in the manuals.
!Warning!
Always stop the engine and make sure
that the chain 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 instruction manuals.
Have such work performed by your
STIHL servicing dealer only.
Wear gloves when handling or
performing maintenance on the cutting
attachment.
!Warning!
Keep the chain, bar and sprocket clean;
replace worn sprockets or chains. Keep
the chain sharp. You can spot a dull
chain when easy-to-cut wood becomes
hard to cut or burn marks appear on the
wood.
Tighten all nuts, bolts and screws except
the carburetor adjustment screws after
each use.
Store the power tool in a dry and high or
locked location out of reach of children.
Before storing for longer than a few
days, always empty the fuel tank. See
chapter "Storing the machine" in the
KombiEngine manual.
Store fuel and chain oil in approved and
properly labeled safety-type canisters
only. Take care when handling gasoline!
Avoid direct contact with the skin and
avoid inhaling fuel vapor!
