    During break-in period
    A factory-new machine should not be 
    run at high revs (full throttle off load) for 
    the first three tank fillings. This avoids 
    unnecessary high loads during the 
    break-in period. As all moving parts 
    have to bed in during the break-in 
    period, the frictional resistances in the 
    engine are greater during this period. 
    The engine develops its maximum 
    power after about 5 to 15 tank fillings.
    During Operation
    After a long period of full throttle 
    operation, allow the engine to run for a 
    short while at idle speed so that engine 
    heat can be dissipated by the flow of 
    cooling air. This protects engine-
    mounted components (ignition, 
    carburetor) from thermal overload.
    After Finishing Work
    Storing for a short period: Wait for the 
    engine to cool down. Empty the fuel tank 
    and keep the machine in a dry place, 
    well away from sources of ignition, until 
    you need it again. For longer out-of-
    service periods – see "Storing the 
    Machine".

    NTake out the screw(1) and remove 
    the filter cover (2). 
    NClean away loose dirt from around 
    the filter.
    NGrip the filter element (3) at the 
    cutout (arrow) in the filter 
    housing (4) and remove it.
    NFit a new filter element. As a 
    temporary measure you can knock it 
    out on the palm of your hand or blow 
    it out with compressed air. Do not 
    wash.
    NReplace damaged parts.
    Installing the filter
    NInstall the filter element in the filter 
    housing and fit the cover.
    NInsert the screw and tighten it down 
    firmly.Exhaust emissions are controlled by the 
    design of the fundamental engine 
    parameters and components (e.g. 
    carburation, ignition, timing and valve or 
    port timing) without the addition of any 
    major hardware.The carburetor of the machine has been 
    adjusted for optimum performance and 
    fuel efficiency in all operating states at 
    the factory.
    Setting the idle speed
    Engine stops when idling
    NLet the engine warm up for approx. 
    3min
    NSlowly turn idle speed screw (LA) 
    clockwise until the engine runs 
    smoothly – the cutting attachment 
    must not rotate

    NTake out the screws (2) and remove 
    the shroud (3).NTake out the screw (4).
    NLift the spark arresting screen (5) 
    and pull it out.
    NClean the spark arresting screen. If 
    the screen is damaged or heavily 
    carbonized, fit a new one.
    NRefit the spark arresting screen.
    NInsert screw and tighten it down 
    firmly.
    NInstall the shroud.If engine is down on power, difficult to 
    start or runs poorly at idling speed, first 
    check the spark plug.
    Fit a new spark plug after approx. 100 
    operating hours or earlier if the 
    electrodes are badly eroded.
    Wrong fuel mix (too much engine oil in 
    the gasoline), a dirty air filter and 
    unfavorable running conditions (mostly 
    at part throttle etc.) affect the condition 
    of the spark plug. These factors cause 
    deposits to form on the insulator nose 
    which may result in trouble in operation.
    Removing the spark plug
    NMove the slide control to STOP-0.
    NPull off the spark plug boot (1).
    NUnscrew the spark plug.

    Checking the Spark Plug
    NClean dirty spark plug.
    NCheck electrode gap (A) and 
    readjust if necessary – see chapter 
    "Specifications."
    NUse only resistor type spark plugs of 
    the approved range.
    Rectify problems which have caused 
    fouling of spark plug:
    –too much oil in fuel mix,
    –dirty air filter,
    –unfavorable running conditions, e.g. 
    operating at part load.
    WARNING
    To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury, 
    use only spark plugs authorized by 
    STIHL. Always press spark plug boot (1) 
    snugly onto spark plug terminal (2) of the 
    proper size. (Note: If terminal has 
    detachable SAE adapter nut, it must be 
    securely attached.) A loose connection 
    between spark plug boot and ignition 
    wire connector in the boot may create 
    arcing that could ignite combustible 
    fumes and cause a fire.
    Installing the spark plug
    NScrew home the spark plug, fit the 
    boot and press it down firmly.If engine running behavior is 
    unsatisfactory even though the air filter 
    is clean and the carburetor is properly 
    adjusted, the cause may be the muffler.
    Have the muffler checked for 
    contamination (carbonization) by your 
    servicing dealer.
    STIHL recommends that you have 
    servicing and repair work carried out 
    exclusively by an authorized STIHL 
    servicing dealer.
