All the air filter components in this 
machine are matched with one another 
as regards filter capacity and air 
permeability.
Only original STIHL air filters should 
therefore be used.  The high quality 
standard of these parts coupled with the 
specified maintenance and service work 
guarantees troublefree operation and a 
long engine life.
Important!
The engine is not always optimally 
protected against entrained dirt when 
using filters which appear to fit but are 
made by other manufacturers.  Warranty 
claims cannot be accepted if the engine 
parts wear down excessively or the 
engine is damaged in such cases.
Exhaust emissions are controlled by the 
design of the fundamental engine 
parameters and components (e.g. 
carburation, ignition, timing and valve or 
port timing) without the addition of any 
major hardware.
The carburetor is set by the 
manufacturer so that an optimum 
mixture of fuel and air is delivered to the 
engine in all operating conditions.
Emissions when idling and at part-load 
are minimized by limiting the idle 
mixture.
