Important Information for Changing Spark Plug

All STIHL gasoline chainsaws and power tools
may only be fitted with suppressed spark plugs of
the type approved by STIHL (see chapter "Specifi-

cations" in relevant Owner’s Manual).

Warning!

To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury, use only
spark plugs authorized by STIHL.
Always press spark plug boot =2= snugly onto
spark plug terminal =1= of the proper size.
(Note: If terminal has detachable SAE adapter nut,
it must be attached). A loose connection between

spark plug terminal and ignition wire connector in

                                                                                    000BA036 TR
the boot may create arcing that could ignite
combustible fumes and cause a fire. Keep spark
plug clean, and make sure ignition lead is in good

condition.

From now on STIHL uses the following terminology

for these parts

   ignition wire connector

       spark plug terminal

Other terminology may have been used by STIHL
in the past

Most of these PDFs embed fonts with a shifted character map, so the text above was recovered rather than copied — read it as a faithful but imperfect transcription, and treat the page image above each block as the authority where the two disagree — the figures exist only there, because they are vector drawings that text extraction cannot keep.
