Storing the Machine

For periods of 3 months or longer
N Drain and clean the fuel tank in a
well ventilated area.
N Dispose of fuel properly in
accordance with local
environmental requirements.
N Run the engine until the carburetor
is dry – this helps prevent the
carburetor diaphragms sticking
together.
N Remove, clean and inspect the
cutting attachment.
N Thoroughly clean the machine –
pay special attention to the cylinder
fins and air filter.
N Store the machine in a dry and
secure location – out of the reach of
children and other unauthorized
persons.

Sharpening Metal Cutting
Blades
N Use a sharpening file (see "Special
Accessories") 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.
To avoid out-of-balance
N After resharpening about 5 times,
check the cutting attachment for
out-of-balance on a STIHL balancer
– see "Special Accessories" – or
have it checked by a dealer and re-
balanced as necessary – STIHL
recommends a STIHL servicing
dealer.
