: Drain and clean the fuel tank in a
well ventilated area.

with local environmental
requirements.
: Run engine until carburetor is dry –
this helps prevent carburetor

: Thoroughly clean the machine – pay
special attention to the cylinder fins
and air filter.
: Store the machine in a dry, high or
locked location – out of the reach of
children and other unauthorized
persons.
: Use a file (special accessory) to
sharpen cutting tools. In case of
more serious wear or nicks:
Resharpen with a grinder or have
work done by STIHL dealer.
: Resharpen frequently, take away as
little material as possible – two or
three strokes of the file are usually
enough.
To avoid out-of-balance
: After resharpening about 5 times,
have blade checked on STIHL
balancer (special accessory) and
rebalanced as necessary.
