WARNING
Some STIHL power tools
are equipped with a cata-
lytic converter, which is
designed to reduce the
exhaust emissions of the
engine by a chemical pro-
cess in the muffler. Due
to this process, the muf-
fler does not cool down
as rapidly as conven-
tional mufflers when the
engine returns to idle or
is shut off. To reduce the
risk of fire and burn inju-
ries when using a
catalytic converter,
always set your power
tool down in the upright
position and never locate
it where the muffler is
near dry brush, grass,
wood chips or other com-
bustible materials while it
is still hot.
MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND
STORING
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of
the emission control devices and
systems may be performed by any
nonroad engine repair establishment or
individual. However, if you make a
warranty claim for a component which
has not been serviced or maintained
properly, STIHL may deny coverage.

WARNING
Use only identical STIHL replacement
parts for maintenance and repair. Use of
non-STIHL parts may cause serious or
fatal injury.
Strictly follow the maintenance and
repair instructions in the appropriate
section of your KombiEngine and
KombiTool instruction manuals. Please
refer to the maintenance charts
respectively the maintenance notes in
these manuals.
WARNING
Always stop the engine and make sure
that the working tool is stopped before
doing any maintenance or repair work or
cleaning the power tool. Do not attempt
any maintenance or repair work not
described in your KombiEngine and
KombiTool instruction manuals. Have
such work performed by your STIHL
servicing dealer only.
WARNING
Use the specified spark plug and make
sure it and the ignition lead are always
clean and in good condition. Always
press spark plug boot snugly onto spark
plug terminal of the proper size. (Note: If
terminal has detachable SAE adapter
nut, it must be attached.) A loose
connection between spark plug boot and
the ignition wire connector in the boot
may create arcing that could ignite
combustible fumes and cause a fire.
WARNING
Never test the ignition system with the
ignition wire boot removed from the
spark plug or with a removed spark plug,
since uncontained sparking may cause
a fire.
WARNING
Do not operate your power tool if the
muffler is damaged, missing or modified.
An improperly maintained muffler will
increase the risk of fire and hearing loss.
Your muffler is equipped with a spark-
arresting screen to reduce the risk of
fire; never operate your power tool if the
screen is missing, damaged or clogged.
Remember that the risk of a brush or
forest fire is greater in hot or dry
weather.
In California, it is a violation of § 4442 or
§ 4443 of the Public Resources Code to
use or operate gasoline-powered tools
on forest-covered, brush-covered or
grass-covered land unless the engine's
exhaust system is equipped with a
complying spark arrester that is
maintained in effective working order.
The owner/operator of this product is
responsible for properly maintaining the
spark arrester. Other states or
governmental entities/agencies, such as
the U.S. Forest Service, may have
similar requirements. Contact your local
fire agency or forest service for the laws
or regulations relating to fire protection
requirements.
Store the power tool in a dry and high or
locked location out of reach of children.
