Stihl KM 110 R Manual De Instrucciones página 11

(i.e., not too rich), this screen will
normally stay clean as a result of the
heat from the muffler and need no
service or maintenance. If you
experience loss of performance and you
suspect a clogged screen, have your
muffler maintained by a STIHL servicing
dealer. Some state or federal laws or
regulations may require a properly
maintained spark arrestor for certain
uses. See the "Maintenance, Repair and
Storing" section of these Safety
Precautions. Remember that the risk of
a brush or forest fire is greater in hot or
dry conditions.
Warning!
Some STIHL power tools
are equipped with a cata-
lytic converter, which is
designed to reduce the
exhaust emissions of the
engine by a chemical
process in the muffler. Due to this proc-
ess, the muffler does not cool down as
rapidly as conventional mufflers when
the engine returns to idle or is shut off.
To reduce the risk of fire and burn inju-
ries when using a catalytic converter,
always set your power tool down in the
upright position and never locate it
where the muffler is near dry brush,
grass, wood chips or other combustible
materials while it is still hot.
MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND
STORING
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of
the emission control devices and
systems may be performed by any
nonroad engine repair establishment or
KM 110 R, KM 130 R
individual. However, if you make a
warranty claim for a component which
has not been serviced or maintained
properly or if nonapproved replacement
parts were used, STIHL may deny
coverage.
Warning!
Use only identical STIHL replacement
parts for maintenance and repair. Use of
non-STIHL parts may cause serious or
fatal injury.
Strictly follow the maintenance and
repair instructions in the appropriate
section of your KombiEngine and
KombiTool instruction manuals. Please
refer to the maintenance charts
respectively the maintenance notes in
these manuals.
Warning!
Always stop the engine and make sure
that the working tool is stopped before
doing any maintenance or repair work or
cleaning the power tool. Do not attempt
any maintenance or repair work not
described in your KombiEngine and
KombiTool instruction manuals. Have
such work performed by your STIHL
servicing dealer only.
Warning!
Use the specified spark plug and make
sure it and the ignition lead are always
clean and in good condition. Always
press spark plug boot snugly onto spark
plug terminal of the proper size. (Note: If
terminal has detachable SAE adapter
nut, it must be attached.) A loose con-
nection between spark plug boot and
the ignition wire connector in the boot
may create arcing that could ignite com-
bustible fumes and cause a fire.
Warning!
Never test the ignition system with the
ignition wire boot removed from the
spark plug or with a removed spark
plug, since uncontained sparking may
cause a fire.
Warning!
Do not operate your power tool if the
muffler is damaged, missing or modi-
fied. An improperly maintained muffler
will increase the risk of fire and hearing
loss. Your muffler is equipped with a
spark-arresting screen to reduce the
risk of fire; never operate your power
tool if the screen is missing, damaged or
clogged. Remember that the risk of a
brush or forest fire is greater in hot or dry
weather.
In California, it is a violation of § 4442 or
§ 4443 or the Public Resources Code to
use or operate gasoline-powered tools
on forest-covered, brush-covered or
grass-covered land unless the engine's
exhaust system is equipped with a
complying spark arrester that is
maintained in effective working order.
