stay clean 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. 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 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 connection between spark plug boot and the ignition wire connector in the boot may create arcing that could ignite combustible 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. English Warning! Do not operate your power tool if the muffler is damaged, missing or modified. An improperly maintained muffler will increase the risk of fire and hearing loss. If your muffler was equipped with a spark-arresting screen to reduce the risk of fire, never operate your power tool if the screen is missing or damaged. Remember that the risk of forest fires is greater in hot or dry weather. Store the power tool in a dry and high or locked location out of reach of children. Before storing for longer than a few days, always empty the fuel tank. See chapter "Storing the machine" in this manual. KM 55 R, KM 55 RC 9

performance and you suspect a clogged
screen, have your muffler maintained by
a STIHL servicing dealer.
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 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.
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.
Store the power tool in a dry and high or
locked location out of reach of children.
Before storing for longer than a few
days, always empty the fuel tank. See
chapter "Storing the machine" in this
manual.
Warning!
Use only identical STIHL replacement
parts for maintenance and repair. Use of
non-STIHL parts may cause serious or
fatal injury.
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. If your muffler was equipped with a
spark-arresting screen to reduce the
risk of fire, never operate your power
tool if the screen is missing or damaged.
Remember that the risk of forest fires is
greater in hot or dry weather.
