Rewind Starter

To help prolong the wear life of the
starter rope, observe the following
points:
Pull the starter rope only in the
N
direction specified.
Do not pull the rope over the edge of
N
the guide bushing.
Do not pull out the rope more than
N
specified.
Do not allow the starter grip to snap
N
back, guide it back into the housing
slowly – see chapter on "Starting /
Stopping the Engine."
Have a damaged starter rope replaced
by your dealer before it breaks
completely. STIHL recommends that
you have servicing and repair work
carried out exclusively by an authorized
STIHL servicing dealer.

Storing the Machine

For periods of about 3 months or longer
Drain and clean the fuel tank in a
N
well ventilated area.
Dispose of fuel properly in
N
accordance with local
environmental requirements.
Run the engine until the carburetor
N
is dry – this helps prevent the
carburetor diaphragms sticking
together.
Remove, clean and inspect the
N
cutting attachment. Coat metal
cutting attachments with corrosion
inhibitor.
Thoroughly clean the machine – pay
N
special attention to the cylinder fins
and air filter.
Store the machine in a dry and
N
secure location – out of the reach of
children and other unauthorized
persons.
