4.9 Disposal
Waste products such as used engine oil or 
fuel, used lubricants, filters, batteries and 
similar wearing parts can be harmful to 
people, animals and the environment, and 
must consequently be disposed of

Consult your recycling centre or your 
specialist dealer for information on the 
proper disposal of waste products. STIHL 
recommends STIHL specialist dealers.
Ensure that old machines are properly 
disposed of. Read the information in the
