3.2 Tightening Torques
DG and P (Plastoform) screws are used in polymer and light metal components. These screws form a permanent thread when they are installed for the first time. They can be removed and installed as often as necessary without impairing the strength of the screwed assembly, providing the specified tightening torque is observed.For this reason it is essential to use a torque wrench.

Use the following procedure when refitting a DG or P screw in an existing thread:
– Place the screw in the hole and rotate it counterclockwise until it drops down slightly.– Tighten the screw clockwise to the specified torque.
This procedure ensures that the screw engages properly in the existing thread and does not form a new thread and weaken the assembly.
Power screwdriver settings for polymer:
Plastoform screws max. 600 rpm
DG screws max. 500 rpm
Important: Do not mix up screws with and without binding head

Troubleshooting, b 4.1
If the action of the starter rope becomes very stiff and the rope rewinds very slowly or not completely, it can be assumed that the starter mechanism is in order but plugged with dirt. At very low outside temperatures the lubricating oil on the rewind spring may thicken and cause the spring windings to stick together. This has a detrimental effect on the function of the starter mechanism. In such a case it is sufficient to apply a few drops of a standard solvent-based degreasant (containing no chlorinated or halogenated hydrocarbons) to the rewind spring.Carefully pull out the starter rope several times and allow it to rewind
until its normal smooth action is restored.If clogged with dirt or pitch, the entire starter mechanism, including the rewind spring, must be removed and disassembled. Take particular care when removing the spring.
Clean all parts, b 12.
Lubricate the rewind spring and starter post with STIHL special lubricant, b 12, before installing.
: Take out the screws (1+2).
– Remove the fan housing with rewind starter.
: If necessary, remove the antistatic wire (arrow).

It is possible that the standard setting produces the highest engine rpm in both the above cases.
Adjusting idle speed
– Open the low speed screw (L)
one full turn.– Allow the engine to warm up.
Engine stops while idling
– Turn the idle speed screw (LA) slowly clockwise until the engine runs smoothly.

1. Adjust engine speed with idle speed screw (LA) to 3,300 rpm.
2.Turn low speed screw (L) clockwise or counterclockwise to obtain maximum engine speed.
If this speed is higher than 3,700 rpm, abort the procedure and
start again with step 1.3. Use the idle speed screw (LA) to set engine speed again to 3,300 rpm
4. Set the engine speed to 2,800 rpm with the low speed screw (L).
5. Set maximum engine speed to 10,500 rpm with the high speed screw (H).

Correct operation of the carburetor is only possible if atmospheric pressure and internal fuel tank pressure are equal at all times. This is ensured by the tank vent.In the event of trouble with the carburetor or the fuel supply system, always check the tank vent and replace it if necessary.
Testing the tank vent
– Open the tank cap slowly and drain the tank. Refit the tank cap, making sure it is tight.
– Disconnect the fuel hoses from the carburetor, b 9.2.2
– Seal one of the fuel hoses with a
suitable plug.– Connect vacuum pump 0000 850 3501 to the other fuel hose and produce a vacuum in the fuel tank by operating the pump quickly.

Fuel tank
The fuel tank is part of the inner fan housing and cannot be replaced separately.If the fuel tank is damaged, replace the complete inner fan housing.
The diaphragm pump draws fuel out of the tank and into the carburetor via the fuel hose. Any impurities mixed with the fuel are retained by the pickup body (filter). The fine pores of the filter eventually become clogged with minute particles of dirt. This restricts the passage of fuel and results in fuel starvation.
Always observe all safety precautions when working on the fuel system, b 2.
In the event of trouble with the fuel supply system, always check the fuel tank and the pickup body first. Clean the fuel tank if necessary.
Cleaning the fuel tank
– Unscrew the fuel filler cap and drain the tank.
– Pour a small amount of clean gasoline into the tank.
– Close the tank and shake the machine vigorously.
– Open the tank again and drain it.
