Never alter the basic setting of the engine
or run at excessive engine speeds.
Components or guards that are removed
for maintenance operations must be
properly reinstalled immediately.
4.8 Storage for prolonged periods
without operation
Allow the engine to cool before storing the
machine in an enclosed space.
Store the machine with empty fuel tank
and the fuel reserve in a lockable and well-
ventilated room.
Ensure that the machine is protected from
unauthorised use (e.g. by children).
Never store the machine with petrol in the
tank inside a building. The resulting petrol
fumes could come into contact with naked
flames or sparks and could be ignited.
If the tank has to be emptied
(e.g. immobilisation before the winter
break), the fuel tank must be emptied out
of doors only (empty the tank by running
the engine out of doors, for example).
Thoroughly clean the machine before
storage (e.g. winter break).
Only store the machine with the spark plug
socket disconnected.
Store the machine in good operational
condition.
Risk of injury from exposed
blades!
Only store garden shredders with
the feed chute fitted.

4.9 Disposal
Waste products such as used engine oil or
fuel, used lubricants, filters, batteries and
similar wearing parts can be harmful to
people, animals and the environment, and
must consequently be disposed of
properly.
Consult your recycling centre or your
specialist dealer for information on the
proper disposal of waste products. STIHL
recommends STIHL specialist dealers.
Ensure that old machines are properly
disposed of. Render the machine
unusable prior to disposal. In order to
prevent accidents, remove the ignition
lead, empty the fuel tank and drain the
engine oil in particular.
Risk of injury from the blades.
Always store an old garden shredder in a
safe place prior to scrapping. Ensure that
the machine and particularly all the blades
are kept out of the reach of children.
