To make servicing easier, plug 1135 145 9000 was
replaced with design 1135 145 9001.

                                                      The stop buffer (1) is used to further improve the

                                                      geometry of the stop buffer has been changed (2).

                                                      The previous stop buffer 1125 791 2810 was
                                                      replaced with design 1133 791 5900.

Left: previous plug 1135 145 9000
Right: new plug 1135 145 9001 with spring arms
The new plugs with spring arms are easier to insert
in the blind holes (arrows).

Service note
Used plugs must not be refitted, as they are
damaged when pulled off!
The new plugs can also be installed in older          Left: previous stop buffer 1125 791 2810
machines. The plugs 1135 145 9001 also come with      Right: new stop buffer 1133 791 5900
the muffler.
WARNING! The plugs for the muffler must always
be in place. Failure to have the plugs in place can
allow wood chips and debris to collect inside the
muffler screw access holes, creating a fire hazard.

                                                      Dimension (a) was increased 0.079“ (2 mm) to
