starter rope, observe the following
points:
N Pull the starter rope only in the
direction specified.
N Do not pull the rope over the edge of
the guide bushing.
N Do not pull out the rope more than
specified.
N Do not allow the starter grip to snap
back, guide it back into the housing

by your dealer before it breaks

carried out exclusively by an authorized
STIHL servicing dealer.
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.

special attention to the cylinder fins
and air filter.
N Store the machine in a dry and
secure location – out of the reach of
