N Use a sharpening file (special
accessory) 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 attachment 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.
Clamped area of handlebar
N Check the freedom of movement of
the handlebar (1) in the clamp
moldings (2) at regular intervals.
If the handle is stiff:
N Loosen the clamp screw (3) so that
the handlebar can be moved.
N Push the handlebar (1) sideways
out of the clamp.
N Use a cloth with a fresh, non-
flammable cleaning solution.
N Thoroughly clean the clamp area of
the handlebar with the cloth and
cleaning solution.
N Line up the handlebar and secure it
in position with the clamp screw.
