11.1 Cleaning the machine
Maintenance interval:
After each use
Clean the machine thoroughly each time it
has been used. Care of the machine will
protect it against damage and extend its
service life.
Electric motors are splashproof.
Protect shredding tools, incl. the shredding
chamber using a commercially available
anti-corrosion agent (e.g. rapeseed oil).
It is only permitted to clean the machine in
the position shown.
● Remove the feed chute. (Ö 11.2)
Remove dirt from the cooling air guide
(inlet slots) on the motor housing to ensure
that the motor is adequately cooled.
Never spray water onto
motor or engine components,
seals, bearing points or
electrical parts such as
switches. This would result in
expensive repairs.
If you are unable to remove
the dirt and accumulated
deposits with a brush, a damp
cloth or a stick, STIHL recommends the
use of a special cleaner (e.g. STIHL
special cleaner).
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents.
Clean the blade discs regularly.

remove.
11.3 Installing the feed chute
● Attach feed chute (1) to the fastening
hooks on basic unit (2) and pivot
