If you cannot set the correct idle speed, have your STIHL dealer check your power tool and make proper adjustments and repairs. During Operation Holding and Controlling the Power Tool Always hold the unit firmly with both hands on the handles while you are working. Wrap your fingers and thumbs around the handles.

Some of the gases (e.g. carbon monoxide) may be colorless and odorless. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury/illness from inhaling toxic fumes, never run the machine indoors or in poorly ventilated locations. KM 55 R, KM 55 RC 7
