N Use resistor type spark plugs with a 
properly tightened adapter nut.
Installing the Spark Plug
N Screw the spark plug (2) into the 
cylinder and fit the boot (1) (press it 
down firmly).
If engine running behavior is 
unsatisfactory even though the air filter 
is clean and the carburetor and throttle 
cable are properly adjusted, the cause 
may be the muffler.
Have the muffler checked by a servicing 
dealer for contamination 
(carbonization).
STIHL recommends that you have 
servicing and repair work carried out 
exclusively by an authorized STIHL 
servicing dealer.
N Check the grease level regularly – 
about every 25 hours of operation.
N Unscrew the filler plug (1). If no 
grease can be seen on the inside of 
the filler plug, screw the tube (2) of 
STIHL gear lubricant (special 
accessory) into the filler hole.
N Squeeze up to 5 g grease into the 
gearbox.
NOTICE
Do not completely fill the gearbox with 
grease.
N Remove the tube of grease (2).
N Refit the filler plug (1) and tighten it 
down firmly.
