requirements.

maintenance or repairs or cleaning the
machine. – Exception: Carburetor and
idle speed adjustments.
Do not turn the engine over on the

is otherwise a risk of fire from
uncontained sparking.
To reduce the risk of fire, do not service
or store your machine near open flames.

Use only a spark plug of the type
approved by STIHL and make sure it is
in good condition – see "Specifications".
