INTRODUCTION

This Repair Manual contains a
detailed description of all the typical
repair work required for this series of
cut-off machines. Repairs to be
undertaken on standard parts and
assemblies which are used in several
STIHL power tool series are described
in separate repair manuals. Attention
is drawn to these instructions at the
relevant points in this Manual.
The illustrated spare parts lists should
also be consulted when carrying out
repairs, for they show the installed
position and sequence of assembly
for the individual parts.
The latest edition of the respective
parts lists should always be used
when determining the part numbers of
the required replacement parts.
Microfilms are more up-to-date than
printed replacement parts lists!
Faults in the cut-off machine may be
due to several causes. Note the
"Summary of faults" in the manual
"Troubleshooting, standard repairs"
for all function groups.
Note the "Technical Information"
sheets, for they describe technical
changes implemented after publication
of this Repair Manual. The Technical
Information sheets supplement the
replacement parts list until a new
edition is published.
The special tools mentioned in the text
are listed in the last chapter of this
Manual. The tools can also be
identified in the manual of "STIHL
tools" on the basis of this part number.
The manual lists all tools available
from STIHL.
Repair Manuals and Technical
Information sheets should always be
on hand wherever repairs are carried
out. They must not be passed on to
third parties.
Repairs can be carried out more easily
by mounting the cut-off machine on an
assembly stand (1). It is attached to
the cast arm with two hex bolts (2)
M8x25 after removing the bearing with
guard.
The cut-off machine can then be
swivelled into the most suitable
working position, leaving both
hands free for the work itself.
The following graphic symbols are
used in the text and illustrations in
