A

Do not attempt to straighten or weld a
bent or cracked blade – it may break – it
must be replaced – see "Mounting the
Cutting Blade".
STIHL recommends you use only the
following original STIHL cutting blades:
Length Thick - Marking
ness
200 mm 2.4 mm 4133 / 01
200 mm 3.8 mm 4133 / 02
Do not resharpen the blade.
Replace the blade (1) if its
N
length (A) is no longer sufficient to
maintain the necessary ground
clearance (B) and obtain the
required depth of cut (C).
Checking Out-of-Balance
To avoid out-of-balance:
Have your dealer check the blade
N
for out-of-balance on a STIHL
balancer (special accessory) –
STIHL recommends an authorized
STIHL servicing dealer. If blade is
out-of-balance, fit a new one – see
"Mounting the Cutting Blade".
