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.
STIHL recommends that you have 
servicing and repair work carried out 
exclusively by an authorized 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 things, 
this includes:
– Damage to the motor due to neglect 
or deficient maintenance.

incorrect electrical connection 
(voltage).
– Corrosion and other consequential 
damage to the machine, battery and 
charger due to improper storage 
and use.
– Damage to the product resulting 
from the use of poor quality 
replacement parts.
