Storing
When the power tool is not in use, store
it so that it does not endanger others.
Secure it against unauthorized use.
Store the machine in a dry, locked
location with the retaining latch on ƒ

Vibrations
This power tool minimizes the vibrations
transmitted to the operator's hands.
However, the operator should seek
medical advice in the event of suspected
circulatory problems in the hands (e.g.
tingling sensation in the fingers).
Maintenance and Repairs
Always move the retaining latch to ƒ
and remove the battery before carrying
out any repairs or maintenance work on
the power tool. This avoids the risk of the
motor starting unintentionally.
Service the machine regularly. Do not
attempt any maintenance or repair work
not described in the instruction manual.
Have all other work 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.
Only use high-quality replacement parts
in order to avoid the risk of accidents
and damage to the unit. If you have any
questions in this respect, consult a
servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends the use of genuine
STIHL replacement parts. They are
specifically designed to match your
model and meet your performance
requirements.
Never attempt to modify your power tool
in any way since this will increase the
risk of personal injury.
Check the electrical contacts and ensure
that the insulation of the connecting
cords and plug of the charger show no
sign of aging (brittleness).
Electrical components, e.g. connecting
cord of charger, may only be repaired or
replaced by a qualified electrician.
Check tightness of mounting screws on
safety devices and the cutting
attachment and retighten if necessary.
