starter rope, observe the following
points:
N Pull the starter rope only in the
direction specified.
N Do not pull the rope over the edge of
the guide bushing.
N Do not pull out the rope more than
specified.
N Do not allow the starter grip to snap
back, guide it back into the housing
slowly – see chapter on "Starting /

by your dealer before it breaks
completely. STIHL recommends that

carried out exclusively by an authorized
STIHL servicing dealer.

approx. 3 months or more

well ventilated place

place. Protect against unauthorized
