N Use a sharpening file (see "Special
Accessories") to sharpen dull
cutting attachments. In case of
more serious wear or nicks:
Resharpen with a grinder or have
the work done by a dealer – STIHL
recommends a STIHL servicing
dealer.
N Resharpen frequently, take away as
little material as possible: two or
three strokes of the file are usually
enough.
N Resharpen the cutters (1) uniformly
– do not alter the contour or the
parent blade (2) in any way.
See cutting attachment packaging for
additional sharpening instructions.
Balancing
N After resharpening about 5 times,
check the cutting tool for out-of-
balance on a STIHL balancer
(special accessory) or have it
checked by a dealer and re-
balanced as necessary – STIHL
recommends a STIHL servicing
dealer.
Spark Arresting Screen in Muffler
Spark arresting screen in muffler (not all
markets)
N If the engine is down on power,
check the spark arresting screen in
the muffler.
STIHL recommends that you have
servicing and repair work carried out
exclusively by an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer.
