Always keep warning and information
stickers clean and readable. Damaged or
missing stickers must be replaced by new,
original plates from your STIHL specialist
dealer. If a component is replaced with a
new component, ensure that the new
component is provided with the same
stickers.
Only perform work on the cutting unit when
wearing protective gloves ( 4.3) and
exercising extreme care.
Ensure that all nuts, pins and screws,
especially all the cutting unit screws, are
securely tightened, so that the machine is
in a safe operating condition.
Check the entire machine for wear or
damage on a regular basis, particularly
before extended periods when the
machine is not in use (e.g. over winter).
For safety reasons, worn or damaged
parts must be replaced immediately to
ensure that the machine is always in a safe
operating condition.
Components or guards that are removed
for maintenance operations must be
properly reinstalled immediately.
4.8 Storage for prolonged periods
without operation
Allow the machine to cool for approx. 5
minutes before storing it in an enclosed
space.
Ensure that the machine is protected from
unauthorised use (e.g. by children).
Thoroughly clean the machine before
storage (e.g. winter break).
Store the machine in good operational
condition.
40
Store the machine on a level surface so
that it cannot unintentionally roll away.
Risk of injury from exposed
blades!
Only store garden shredders with
the feed chute fitted.
4.9 Disposal
Waste products can be harmful to people,
animals and the environment. They must
consequently be disposed of properly.
Consult your recycling centre or your
specialist dealer for information on the
proper disposal of waste products. STIHL
recommends STIHL specialist dealers.
Ensure that old machines are properly
disposed of. Render the machine
unusable prior to disposal. In order to
prevent accidents, always remove the
power cable and electric cable to the
motor.
