14 Sharpening Instructions

When cutting performance and behavior begin to
deteriorate, i.e. blades frequently snag on
branches: Resharpen the cutting blades.
It is best to have the cutting blades resharpened
by a dealer on a workshop sharpener. STIHL
recommends a STIHL servicing dealer.
NOTICE
Do not operate your machine with dull or dam‐
aged cutting blades. This may cause overload
and will give unsatisfactory cutting results.
15 Minimize Wear and Avoid
Damage
Observing the instructions in this manual and the
KombiEngine manual helps reduce the risk of
unnecessary wear and damage to the power
tool.
The power tool must be operated, maintained
and stored with the due care and attention
described in these instruction manuals.
The user is responsible for all damage caused by
non-observance of the safety precautions, oper‐
ating and maintenance instructions. This
includes in particular:
– Alterations or modifications to the product not
approved by STIHL.
– Using tools or accessories which are neither
approved or suitable for the product or are of a
poor quality.
– Using the product for purposes for which it
was not designed.
– Using the product for sports or competitive
events.
– Consequential damage caused by continuing
to use the product with defective components.
15.1 Maintenance Work
All the operations described in the chapter on
"Maintenance and Care" must be performed on a
regular basis. If these maintenance operations
cannot be performed by the owner, they should
be performed by a servicing dealer.
14
STIHL recommends that you have servicing and
repair work carried out exclusively by an author‐
ized STIHL servicing dealer. STIHL dealers are
regularly given the opportunity to attend training
courses and are supplied with the necessary
technical information.
If these maintenance operations are not carried
out as specified, the user assumes responsibility
for any damage that may occur. Among other
parts, this includes:
– Corrosion and other consequential damage
resulting from improper storage.
– Damage to the product resulting from the use
of poor quality replacement parts.
15.2 Parts Subject to Wear and Tear
Some parts of the power tool (e.g. cutting
blades) are subject to normal wear and tear even
during regular operation in accordance with
instructions and, depending on the type and
duration of use, have to be replaced in good
time.
