Storing the Machine

For periods of about 3 months or longer:
: Remove, clean and inspect the
cutting attachment.
: If the CombiTool is stored
separately, fit the protective cap on
the drive tube to avoid dirt getting
into the coupling.
: Store the machine in a dry, high or
locked location – out of the reach of
children and other unauthorized
persons.

every 25 hours of operation.
: Unscrew the filler plug (1).

brushcutters - see "Special
Accessories" - into the filler hole.
: Squeeze up to 1/5 oz (5 g) grease
into the gear housing.
Do not completely fill the gear
housing with grease.

down firmly.

Sharpening
Metal Cutting Tools
: Use a file (special accessory) to
sharpen cutting tools. In case of
more serious wear or nicks:
Resharpen with a grinder or have
work done by STIHL dealer.
: Resharpen frequently, take away as
little material as possible – two or
three strokes of the file are usually
enough.
To avoid out-of-balance
: After resharpening about 5 times,
have blade checked on STIHL
balancer (special accessory) and
rebalanced as necessary.
