the guide bush.

Storing the Machine

For periods of three months or more:
:
Drain and clean the machine in a
well ventilated place.
:
Run the engine until the carburetor
is dry – this helps to prevent the
carburetor diaphragms sticking
together.
:
Remove, clean and inspect the
cutting blade.
:
Thoroughly clean the machine,
paying special attention to the
cylinder fins and air filter!
:
Store the machine in a dry and safe
place, out of the reach of children
and other unauthorized users.

Replacing the Depth Wheel /
Gearbox Wheel
2
Depth wheel
Have worn wheel replaced by your
STIHL dealer.
The end of the thread on screw (1) is
caulked to ensure that the wingnut (2)
does not work loose and be lost.
A very high torque has to be applied
to remove the wingnut from the screw.
If the parts are then reassembled, the
captive function is no longer
guaranteed. In such a case have the
screw and wingnut replaced by your
STIHL dealer.
