Replacing a Broken Rewind Spring
N Remove the rope rotor as described
in "Replacing the Starter Rope".
WARNING
The bits of the spring may still be under
tension and could fly apart when you
remove the rope rotor and spring
housing. To reduce the risk of injury,
Wear a face shield and work gloves.
N Take out the screws (7).
N Remove the spring housing and
pieces of spring.
N Lubricate the new, ready-to-fit
replacement spring in the new
spring housing with a few drops of
resin-free oil.
N Place the replacement spring with
spring housing in position – bottom
plate facing up.
If the spring pops out and uncoils, refit it
in the clockwise direction, starting
outside and working inwards.
N Fit the screws.
N Refit the rope rotor as described in
"Replacing the Starter Rope".
N Tension the rewind spring.
N Install the fan housing.
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. Coat metal
cutting attachments with corrosion
inhibitor.
N Thoroughly clean the machine.
N Clean the air filter.
N Store the machine in a dry and
secure location – out of the reach of
children and other unauthorized
persons.
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 Sharpen frequently, take away as
little metal as possible – two or three
strokes of the file are usually
enough.
N Resharpen the teeth (1) uniformly –
do not alter the contour of the parent
blade (2) in any way.
See cutting attachment packaging for
additional sharpening instructions. Keep
the packaging for future reference.
