Sharpening Instructions
Operating Instructions
To help prolong the wear life of the
starter rope, observe the following
points:
The blades must be resharpened if
cutting performance and behavior begin
to deteriorate (i.e. if blades frequently
snag on branches).
During break-in period
A factory new machine should not be run
at high revs (full throttle off load) for the
first three tank fillings. This avoids
unnecessary high loads during the
break-in period. As all moving parts
have to bed in during the break-in
period, the frictional resistances in the
engine are greater during this period.
The engine develops its maximum
power after about 5 to 15 tank fillings.

recommends you have this work
performed by a STIHL servicing dealer.
Do not pull out the rope more than
specified since it might break.
It is also possible to use a flat crosscut
sharpening file. See “Specifications” for
prescribed sharpening angle.
Do not let the starter grip snap back,
guide it slowly into the housing.

Stopping the Engine”!
During operation
:
Always file towards the cutting
edge.
After a long period of full-throttle
operation, allow engine to run for a while
at idle speed so that the heat in the
engine can be dissipated by flow of
cooling air. This protects engine-
mounted components (ignition,

from cutting edge.
After finishing work
Remove as little material as
possible.
After sharpening, clean filing or
grinding dust off the cutting blades
and lubricate with grease.
Wait for engine to cool down. Drain the
fuel tank. Store the machine in a dry
place. Check tightness of nuts and
screws (not adjusting screws) at regular
intervals and retighten as necessary.
Do not operate your machine with
dull or damaged cutting blades.
This may cause overload and will
give unsatisfactory cutting results.
