Clean the machine thoroughly each time it
has been used. Care of the machine will
protect it against damage and extend its

cloth or a stick, VIKING
recommends the use of a
special cleaner (e.g. STIHL

Clean the blade discs regularly.
Remove dirt from the cooling ribs, fan
wheel, area around the air filter, exhaust,

adequately cooled.
