Maintenance Work

All the operations described in the "Maintenance
Chart" must be performed on a regular basis. If
these maintenance operations cannot be per‐
formed by the owner, they should be performed
by a servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends that you have servicing and
repair work carried out exclusively by an author‐
ized STIHL servicing dealer. STIHL dealers are
regularly given the opportunity to attend training
courses and are supplied with the necessary
technical information.
If these maintenance operations are not carried
out as specified, the user assumes responsibility
for any damage that may occur. Among other
things, this includes:
– Damage to the motor due to neglect or defi‐
cient maintenance (e.g. not cleaning cooling
air inlets).
– Damage due to incorrect electrical connection
(voltage, inadequately rated connecting
cords).
– Corrosion and other consequential damage
resulting from improper storage.
– Damage to the product resulting from the use
of poor quality replacement parts.
