WARNING
Arcing may occur if the adapter nut (1) is loose
or missing. Working in an easily combustible or
explosive atmosphere may cause a fire or an
explosion. This can result result in serious inju‐
ries or damage to property.
► Use resistor type spark plugs with a properly
tightened adapter nut.
20.3 Installing the spark plug
► Install the spark plug and connect the spark
plug boot (press it down firmly) – reassembly
all other parts in the reverse sequence.
21 Storing the Machine
For periods of 3 months or longer
► Drain and clean the fuel tank in a well ventila‐
ted area.
► Dispose of fuel properly in accordance with
local environmental requirements.
► Run the engine until the carburetor is dry – this
helps prevent the carburetor diaphragms stick‐
ing together.
► Remove the saw chain and guide bar, clean
them and spray with corrosion inhibiting oil.
► Thoroughly clean the machine – pay special
attention to the cylinder fins and air filter.
► If you use a biological chain and bar lubricant,
e.g. STIHL BioPlus, completely fill the chain oil
tank.
► Store the machine in a dry, high or locked
location, out of the reach of children and other
unauthorized persons.
