devices are working properly. Do not continue
operating the machine if it is damaged. In case of
doubt, contact a dealer.
If the machine continues to run (does not switch
off) after the trigger switch is released, discon‐
nect the plug from the wall outlet and consult
your STIHL servicing dealer. The machine has a
malfunction.
Before leaving the power tool unattended: Switch
it off and disconnect the plug from the power

After finishing work

Disconnect the mains plug from the power sup‐
ply.
Never jerk the connecting cord to disconnect it
from the wall outlet. To unplug, grasp the plug,
not the cord.
Always clean dust and dirt off the power tool – do
not use any grease solvents for this purpose.
2.11 Vibrations
Prolonged use of the power tool may result in
vibration-induced circulation problems in the
hands (whitefinger disease).
No general recommendation can be given for the
length of usage because it depends on several
factors.
The period of usage is prolonged by:
– Hand protection (wearing warm gloves)
– Work breaks
The period of usage is shortened by:
– Any personal tendency to suffer from poor cir‐
culation (symptoms: frequently cold fingers,
tingling sensations).
– Low outside temperatures.
– The force with which the handles are held (a
tight grip restricts circulation).
Continual and regular users should monitor
closely the condition of their hands and fingers. If
any of the above symptoms appear (e.g. tingling
sensation in fingers), seek medical advice.

2.12 Maintenance and repairs
WARNING
Before starting any work on the
machine: Always disconnect the
machine from the mains power sup‐
ply.
– Use only high-quality spare parts. Otherwise,
there may be a risk of accidents and damage
to the unit. If you have any questions in this
respect, consult a servicing dealer.
– To avoid risks, work on the machine (e. g.
replacing a damaged power cord) may only be
carried out by authorized dealers or qualified
electricians.
Clean plastic parts with a cloth. Harsh detergents
can damage the plastic.
Clean ventilation slots in motor housing as nee‐
ded.
The machine must be serviced regularly. Do not
attempt any maintenance or repair work not
described in the Instruction Manual. All other
work should be carried out by a servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends the use of genuine STIHL
spare parts. Such parts have been optimized for
the machine and the user's requirements.
STIHL recommends that maintenance and repair
work be carried out only by authorized STIHL
dealers. STIHL dealers receive regular training
and are supplied with technical information.
