Warning!
stay clean and need no service or
maintenance. If you experience loss of
performance and you suspect a clogged
screen, have your muffler maintained by
a STIHL servicing dealer.
Warning!
Use the specified spark plug and make
sure it and the ignition lead are always
clean and in good condition. Always
press spark plug boot snugly onto spark
plug terminal of the proper size. (Note: If
terminal has detachable SAE adapter
nut, it must be securely attached.) A
loose connection between spark plug
terminal and the ignition wire connector
in the boot may create arcing that could
ignite combustible fumes and cause a
fire.
Some STIHL power tools
are equipped with a cata-
lytic converter, which is
designed to reduce the
exhaust emissions of the
engine by a chemical

process in the muffler. Due to this proc-
ess, the muffler does not cool down as
rapidly as conventional mufflers when
the engine returns to idle or is shut off.
To reduce the risk of fire and burn inju-
ries, the following specific safety
Warning!
Use only identical STIHL replacement
parts for maintenance and repair. Use of
non-STIHL parts may cause serious or
fatal injury.
precautions must be observed.
Warning!
Strictly follow the maintenance and
repair instructions in the appropriate
section of your instruction manual.
Please refer to the maintenance chart in
this manual.
Never test the ignition system with the
boot removed from the spark plug or
with a removed spark plug, since uncon-
tained sparking may cause a fire.
Warning!
Since a muffler with a catalytic converter
cools down less rapidly than conven-
tional mufflers, always set your power
tool down in the upright position and
never locate it where the muffler is near
dry brush, grass, wood chips or other
combustible materials while it is still hot.
Warning!
Warning!
Do not operate your power tool if the
muffler is damaged, missing or modi-
fied. An improperly maintained muffler
will increase the risk of fire and hearing
loss. If your muffler was equipped with a
spark-arresting screen to reduce the
risk of fire, never operate your power
tool if the screen is missing or damaged.
Remember that the risk of forest fires is
greater in hot or dry weather.
Always stop the engine and make sure
that the fan is stopped before doing any
maintenance or repair work or cleaning
the power tool. Do not attempt any
maintenance or repair work not
described in your instruction manual.
Have such work performed by your
STIHL servicing dealer only.
Warning!
An improperly mounted or damaged cyl-
inder housing or a damaged/deformed
muffler shell may interfere with the cool-
ing process of the catalytic converter.
To reduce the risk of fire or burn injury,
do not continue work with a damaged or
improperly mounted cylinder housing or
a damaged/deformed muffler shell.
Tighten all nuts, bolts and screws except
the carburetor adjustment screws after
each use.
Your catalytic converter is furnished with
screens designed to reduce the risk of
fire from the emission of hot particles.
