● With the machine running, slowly turn
adjustment screw (1) clockwise using
Allen key (2). This presses the
counterplate against the blade roller

The counterplate is adjusted and the
machine is ready for operation.
11.2 Cleaning the machine
Maintenance interval:
After each use
Clean the machine thoroughly each time it
has been used. Care of the machine will
protect it against damage and extend its
service life.
It is only permitted to clean the machine in
the position shown.
Never spray water onto
motor or engine components,
seals, bearing points or
electrical parts such as
switches. This would result in
expensive repairs.
If you are unable to remove
the dirt and accumulated
deposits with a brush, a damp
cloth or a stick, STIHL
recommends the use of a
special cleaner (e.g. STIHL special
cleaner).
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents.
Clean the blade discs regularly.
Electric motors are splashproof.
Protect shredding tools, incl. the shredding
chamber using a commercially available
anti-corrosion agent (e.g. rapeseed oil).
11.3 Service intervals
We recommend that you have your garden
shredder serviced once a year by a
specialist dealer.
STIHL recommends STIHL specialist
dealers.
11.4 Electric motor and wheels
The electric motor is maintenance-free.
The wheel bearings are maintenance-free.
11.5 Storage and winter break
Store the machine in a dry and locked
place that is generally free of dust. Make
sure that it is kept out of the reach of
children.
Always store the machine in good
operational condition.
Keep all nuts, pins and bolts tightly
fastened, replace danger signs and
warnings on the machine that have
become illegible, check the entire machine
for wear and damage. Replace all worn or
damaged parts.
Any machine faults must be completely
remedied prior to storage.
Note the following points when storing the
machine for long periods (winter break):
● Clean all external parts of the machine
with care.
● Thoroughly lubricate/grease all moving
parts.
