Stihl RMA 510 Instruction Manual page 9

Always hold the handle firmly with both
hands.
Operate the machine at walking pace
only – never run.
Maintenance and Repairs
Always remove the fuse key and battery
from the power tool before carrying out
any repairs or maintenance work. 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
RMA 510
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.
Regularly check the electrical contacts
and ensure that the insulation of the
connecting cord and plug of the charger
is in good condition and shows no sign
of ageing (brittleness).
Electrical components, e.g. connecting
cord of charger, may only be repaired or
replaced by a qualified electrician.
Clean plastic surfaces with a cloth. Do
not use aggressive detergents. They
may damage the plastic.
Check tightness of mounting screws, on
the cutting attachment in particular, and
retighten if necessary.
Clean cooling air openings in motor
housing as necessary.
Keep the battery guides free from
foreign matter – clean as necessary.
Replace illegible or damaged warning
labels on the power tool.
Store the power tool in a dry, locked
location with the fuse key and battery
removed.
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).
