Warning!
To reduce the risk of fire and burn
injuries, check the fuel filler cap for leaks
at regular intervals. 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 boot of the
proper size. (Note: If boot has
detachable SAE adapter nut, it must be
attached.) A loose connection between
spark plug boot and 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
ignition wire boot removed from the
spark plug or with a removed spark plug,
since uncontained sparking may cause
a fire.

Warning!
A damaged or improperly maintained
muffler will increase the risk of fire and
hearing loss. Never touch a hot muffler
or burn will result. If your muffler was
equipped with a spark-arresting screen
to reduce the risk of fire (e.g. in the USA,
Canada and Australia), never operate
your CombiEngine if the screen is
missing or damaged. Do not
disassemble, modify or remove any part
of the muffler or spark arresting screen.
Remember that the risk of forest fires is
greater in hot or dry weather. Have your
muffler serviced and repaired by your
STIHL Servicing Dealer only.
Keep the cutting attachment sharp.
Tighten all nuts, bolts and screws,
except the carburetor adjustment
screws, after each use.
Additionally, the daily maintenance
schedule for your power tool set forth in
your STIHL Owner's Manual should be
strictly followed.
For any maintenance please refer to the
maintenance chart and to the warranty
statement near the end of this manual.
Store the power tool in a dry, 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".
