Lend or rent your power tool only to
persons who are familiar with this model
and its operation – do not lend of rent
your power tool without the MultiEngine
and MultiTool instruction manuals.
The use of noise emitting power tools
may be restricted to certain times by
national or local regulations.
To operate the power tool you must be
rested, in good physical condition and
mental health.
If you have any condition that might be
aggravated by strenuous work, check
with your doctor before operating a
power tool.
Persons with pacemakers only: The
ignition system of your power tool
produces an electromagnetic field of a
very low intensity. This field may
interfere with some pacemakers. STIHL
recommends that persons with
pacemakers consult their physician and
the pacemaker manufacturer to reduce
any health risk.
Do not operate the power tool if you are
under the influence of any substance
(drugs, alcohol) which might impair
vision, dexterity or judgment.
Use your power tool only for the
applications described in the instruction
manual of the MultiTool you are using.
Do not use your power tool for any other
purpose because of the increased risk of
accidents.
Do not operate the MultiEngine without a
properly mounted MultiTool since this
may result in damage to the machine.
Only use MultiTools and accessories
that are explicitly approved for this
power tool by STIHL or are technically
identical. It is important that you read the
chapter on "Approved MultiTools". If you
have any questions in this respect,
consult a servicing dealer. Use only high
quality tools and accessories in order to
avoid the risk of accidents and damage
to the machine.
STIHL recommends the use of genuine
STIHL tools and accessories. They are
specifically designed to match the
product and meet your performance
requirements.
Never attempt to modify your power tool
in any way since this may increase the
risk of personal injury. STIHL excludes
all liability for personal injury and
damage to property caused while using
unauthorized attachments.
Do not use a pressure washer to clean
the unit. The solid jet of water may
damage parts of the unit.
Clothing and Equipment
Wear proper protective clothing and
equipment.
Avoid clothing that could get caught on
branches or brush or moving parts of the
machine. Do not wear a scarf, necktie or
jewelry. Tie up and confine long hair
(e.g. with a hair net, cap, hard hat, etc.).
WARNING
Wear a face shield and make sure it is a
good fit. A face shield alone does not
provide adequate eye protection.
Wear hearing protection, e.g. earplugs
or ear muffs.
See also notes on "Clothing and
Equipment" in the instruction manual of
the MultiTool you are using.
Transporting the Power Tool
Always turn off the engine.
Carry the power tool by the carrying
handle or loop handle with the
attachment facing forwards.
Do not touch hot parts of the machine
since burn injury will result.
Transporting by vehicle: Allow engine
tool cool down, properly secure your
power tool to prevent turnover, fuel
spillage and damage.
Wear steel-toed safety
boots with non-slip soles.
To reduce the risk of eye
injuries, wear snug-fitting
safety glasses in accord-
ance with European

See also notes on "Transporting the
Power Tool" in the instruction manual of
the MultiTool you are using.
Fueling
Always shut off the engine before
refueling.
Do not fuel a hot engine – fuel may spill
and cause a fire.
Open the fuel cap carefully to allow any
pressure build-up in the tank to release
slowly and avoid fuel spillage.
Fuel your power tool only in well-
ventilated areas. If you spill fuel, wipe
the machine immediately if fuel gets on
your clothing, change immediately.
Your power tool comes standard with
either a screw-type or bayonet-type fuel
cap. After fueling,
This reduces the risk of unit vibrations
causing the fuel cap to loosen or come
off and spill quantities of fuel.
Before Starting
Check that your power tool is properly
assembled and in good condition refer
to appropriate chapters in the instruction
manuals.
Check the fuel system for leaks,
paying special attention to visible
parts such as the tank cap, hose
connections and the manual fuel
pump (on machines so equipped). If
there are any leaks or damage, do
not start the engine – risk of fire.
Have your machine repaired by a
servicing dealer before using it
again.
Use only an approved combination
of attachment and deflector. All
parts must be assembled properly
and securely.
Slide control must move easily to
STOP or 0
Smooth action of throttle trigger
lockout and throttle trigger – the
throttle trigger must return
automatically to the idle position.
Check that the spark plug boot is
secure – a loose boot may cause
arcing that could ignite combustible
fumes and cause a fire.
Never attempt to modify the controls
or the safety devices in any way.
Keep the handles dry and clean –
free from oil and dirt – for safe
control of the power tool.
Swing the bike handle to the normal
operating position and tighten it
down firmly with the rotary knob.
See "Adjusting the Handlebar".
To reduce the risk of accidents, do not
operate your power tool if it is damaged
or not properly assembled.
See also notes on "Before Starting" in
the instruction manual of the MultiTool
you are using.
Check the position of the gearbox for the
MultiTool you have mounted and correct
it if necessary. This helps reduce the risk
of injury from the MultiTool rotating in the
wrong direction.
See "Mounting the MultiTool" in the
instruction manual of the MultiTool you
are using.
If you use metal tools, position the
gearbox so that the axle is below the
drive shaft.
Gasoline is an extremely
flammable fuel. Keep
clear of naked flames. Do
not spill any fuel – do not
smoke.
tighten down the screw-
type fuel cap as securely
as possible.
Insert the fuel cap with
hinged grip (bayonet-type
cap) correctly in the
opening, turn it clockwise
as far as stop and fold the
grip down.
Check for leakage. To
reduce the risk of serious
of fatal burn injuries, do
not start or run the engine
until leak is fixed.

Starting the Engine
Start the engine at least 3 meters from
the fueling spot, outdoors only.
Place the power tool on firm ground in
an open area. Make sure you have good
balance and secure footing. Hold the
power tool securely. The attachment
must be clear of the ground and all other
obstructions because it may begin to run
when the engine starts.
Your power tool is for operation by one
person only. To reduce the risk of injury
from contact with the rotating tool, do not
allow other persons within a radius of 5
meters of your own position even when
starting.
Do not drop start the power tool – start
the engine as described in the
instruction manual. Note that the
attachment continues to run for a short
period after you let go of the throttle
trigger – flywheel effect.
Check idle speed setting: The
attachment must be stationary when the
engine is idling with the throttle trigger
released.
To reduce the risk of fire, keep hot
exhaust gases and hot muffler away
from easily combustible materials (e.g.
wood chips, bark, dry grass, fuel).
See also notes on "Starting / Stopping
the Engine" in the instruction manual of
the MultiTool you are using.
Holding and Controlling the Power Tool
Make sure you always have good
balance and secure footing.
Always hold the power tool firmly with
both hands on the handles.
Right handle on control handle, left hand
on left handle.
During Operation
In the event of impending danger or in
an emergency, shut off the engine
immediately by moving the slide control
to STOP or 0.
To reduce the risk of injury from contact
with the tool and thrown objects, do not
allow any other persons within a radius
of 5 meters of your own position. To
reduce the risk of damage to property,
also maintain this distance from other
objects (vehicles, windows).
The correct engine idle speed is
important to ensure that the attachment
stops moving when you let go of the
throttle trigger. If the attachment
continues to move when the engine is
idling, have your dealer check the
The tool begins to rotate
as soon as the engine is
started in the "Start" posi-
tion. Always stand to one
side of the machine when
starting never in front of
the tools. To reduce the
risk of injury, avoid con-
tact with the working tool.

machine and make proper adjustments
or repairs. Check and correct the idle
speed setting regularly. STIHL
recommends an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer.
Do not operate your power tool in the
starting throttle position – engine speed
cannot be controlled in this position.
Be particularly alert and cautious when
wearing hearing protection because
your ability to hear warnings (shouts,
alarms, etc.) is restricted.
To reduce the risk of accidents, take a
break in good time to avoid tiredness or
exhaustion.
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight
conditions and only when visibility is
good. Stay alert so as not to endanger
others.
Use your power tool only for those
applications described in the MultiTool
instruction manual.
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal
injury from breathing toxic fumes,
ensure proper ventilation when working
in trenches, hollows or other confined
locations.
To reduce the risk of accidents, stop
work immediately in the event of
nausea, headache, visual disturbances
(e.g. reduced field of vision), problems
with hearing, dizziness, deterioration in
ability to concentrate. Apart from other
possibilities, these symptoms may be
caused by an excessively high
concentration of exhaust gases in the
work area.
Operate your power tool so that it
produces a minimum of noise and
emissions – do not run the engine
unnecessarily, accelerate the engine
only when working.
To reduce the risk of fire, do not smoke
while operating or standing near your
power tool. Note that combustible fuel
vapor may escape from the fuel system.
The dusts, vapor and smoke produced
during operation may be dangerous to
health. If the work area is very dusty or
smoky, wear a respirator.
Do not touch hot parts of the machine
since burn injury will result.
If your power tool is subjected to
unusually high loads for which it was not
designed (e.g. heavy impact or a fall),
always check that it is in good condition
before continuing work – see also
"Before Starting". Check the fuel system
in particular for leaks and make sure the
safety devices are working properly. Do
not continue operating your power tool if
it is damaged. In case of doubt, consult
your servicing dealer.
To reduce the risk of injury, shut off the
engine before changing the cutting
attachment.
After finishing work or before leaving the
unit unattended: Shut off the engine.
See also notes on "During Operation" in
the instruction manual of the MultiTool
you are using.
Vibrations
Prolonged use of the power tool may
result in vibration-induced circulation
problems in the hands (whitefinger
disease).
No general recommendation can be
given for the length of usage because it
depends on several factors.
The period of usage is prolonged by:
Hand protection (wearing warm
gloves)
Work breaks
The period of usage is shortened by:
Any personal tendency to suffer
from poor circulation (symptoms:
frequently cold fingers, tingling
sensations).
Low outside temperatures.
The force with which the handles
are held (a tight grip restricts
circulation).
Your power tool produces
toxic exhaust fumes as
soon as the engine is
running. These fumes
may be colorless and
odorless and contain
unburned hydrocarbons
and benzol. Never run
the engine indoors or in
poorly ventilated loca-
tions, even if your model
is equipped with a cata-
lytic converter.
Keep your hands and feet
well away from the work-
ing tool. To reduce the
risk of injury, never touch
a rotating tool. Always
stand behind the deflec-
tor or to one side of the
machine during opera-
tion – never in front of the
rotating tools.
MM 55, MM 55 C

Continual and regular users should
monitor closely the condition of their
hands and fingers. If any of the above
symptoms appear (e.g. tingling
sensation in fingers), seek medical
advice.
Maintenance and Repairs
Service the machine regularly. Do not
attempt any maintenance or repair work
not described in the instruction manual.
Have all other work performed by a
servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends that you have
servicing and repair work carried out
exclusively by an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer. STIHL dealers are
regularly given the opportunity to attend
training courses and are supplied with
the necessary technical information.
Only use high-quality replacement parts
in order to avoid the risk of accidents
and damage to the machine. If you have
any questions in this respect, consult a
servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends the use of original
STIHL replacement parts. They are
specifically designed to match your
model and meet your performance
requirements.
To reduce the risk of injury, always shut
off the engine before carrying out any
maintenance or repairs or cleaning the
machine. – Exception: Carburetor and
idle speed adjustments.
Do not turn the engine over on the
starter with the spark plug boot or spark
plug removed unless the slide control /
stop switch is on STOP or 0 since there
is otherwise a risk of fire from
uncontained sparking.
To reduce the risk of fire, do not service
or store your machine near open flames.
Check the fuel filler cap for leaks at
regular intervals.
Use only a spark plug of the type
approved by STIHL and make sure it is
in good condition – see "Specifications".
Inspect the ignition lead (insulation in
good condition, secure connection).
Check the condition of the muffler.
To reduce the risk of fire and damage to
hearing, do not operate your machine if
the muffler is damaged or missing. –
Do not touch a hot muffler since burn
injury will result.
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.

This engine is certified to operate on
unleaded gasoline and with the mix ratio
50:1.
Your engine requires a mixture of high-
quality premium gasoline and high-
quality two-stroke air-cooled engine oil.
Use premium branded unleaded
gasoline with a minimum octane rating
of 89 (R+M)/2.
Note: Models equipped with a catalytic
converter require unleaded gasoline. A
few tankfuls of leaded gasoline can
reduce the efficiency of the catalytic
converter by more than 50%.
Fuel with a lower octane rating may
result in preignition (causing "pinging")
which is accompanied by an increase in
engine temperature. This, in turn,
increases the risk of the piston seizure
and damage to the engine.
The chemical composition of the fuel is
also important. Some fuel additives not
only detrimentally affect elastomers
(carburetor diaphragms, oil seals, fuel
lines etc.), but magnesium castings as
well. This could cause running problems
or even damage the engine. For this
reason it is essential that you use only
high-quality fuels!
Fuels with different percentages of
ethanol are being offered. Ethanol can
affect the running behaviour of the
engine and increase the risk of lean
seizure.
Gasoline with an ethanol content of
more than 10% can cause running
problems and major damage in engines
with a manually adjustable carburetor
and should not be used in such engines.
Engines equipped with M-Tronic can be
run on gasoline with an ethanol content
of up to 25% (E25).
Use only STIHL two-stroke engine oil or
equivalent high-quality two-stroke air-
cooled engine oils for mixing.
We recommend STIHL 50:1 two-stroke
engine oil since it is specially formulated
for use in STIHL engines.
To ensure the maximum performance of
your STIHL engine, use a high quality 2-
cycle engine oil. To help your engine run
cleaner and reduce harmful carbon
deposits, STIHL recommends using
STIHL HP Ultra 2-cycle engine oil or ask
your dealer for an equivalent fully
synthetic 2-cycle engine oil.
To meet the requirements of EPA and
CARB we recommend to use STIHL HP
Ultra oil.
Do not use BIA or TCW (two-stroke
water cooled) mix oils!
Use only STIHL 50:1 heavy-duty engine
oil or an equivalent quality two-stroke
engine oil for the fuel mix in models
equipped with a catalytic converter.
Take care when handling gasoline.
Avoid direct contact with the skin and
avoid inhaling fuel vapour.
The canister should be kept tightly
closed in order to avoid any moisture
getting into the mixture.

The fuel tank and the canister in which
fuel mix is stored should be cleaned
from time to time.
Fuel mix ratio
Only mix sufficient fuel for a few days
work, not to exceed 30 days of storage.
Store in approved safety fuel-canisters
only. When mixing, pour oil into the
canister first, and then add gasoline.
Dispose of empty mixing-oil canisters
only at authorized disposal locations.
N Before fueling, clean the filler cap
and the area around it to ensure that
no dirt falls into the tank.
N Position the machine so that the
filler cap is facing up.
N Open the filler cap.
Take care not to spill fuel while fueling
and do not overfill the tank. STIHL
recommends you use the STIHL filler
nozzle (special accessory).
WARNING
After fueling, tighten down the filler cap
as securely as possible by hand.

During break-in period
A factory-new machine should not be
run at high revs (full throttle off load) for
the first three tank fillings. This avoids
unnecessary high loads during the
break-in period. As all moving parts
have to bed in during the break-in
period, the frictional resistances in the
engine are greater during this period.
The engine develops its maximum
power after about 5 to 15 tank fillings.
During Operation
After a long period of full throttle
operation, allow the engine to run for a
short while at idle speed so that engine
heat can be dissipated by the flow of
cooling air. This protects engine-
mounted components (ignition,
carburetor) from thermal overload.
After Finishing Work
Storing for a short period: Wait for the
engine to cool down. Empty the fuel tank
and keep the machine in a dry place,
well away from sources of ignition, until
you need it again. For longer out-of-
service periods – see "Storing the
Machine".

Exhaust emissions are controlled by the
design of the fundamental engine
parameters and components (e.g.
carburation, ignition, timing and valve or
port timing) without the addition of any
major hardware.
General Information
The carburetor comes from the factory
with a standard setting.
This setting provides an optimum fuel-air
mixture under most operating
conditions.
Preparations
N Shut off the engine.
N Mount the MultiTool.
N Check the air filter and clean or
replace if necessary.
N Check the spark arresting screen
(not in all models, country-specific)
in the muffler and clean or replace if
necessary.
Standard Setting
N Turn high speed screw (H)
counterclockwise as far as stop (no
more than 3/4 turn).
N Turn the low speed screw (L)
clockwise as far as stop, then turn it
back 3/4 turn.
Adjusting Idle Speed
N Carry out the standard setting.
N Start and warm up the engine for
3 minutes.

Engine stops while idling
N Turn the idle speed screw (LA)
clockwise until the engine runs
smoothly – the cutting/working
attachment must not rotate.
Attachment runs when engine is idling
N Turn the idle speed screw (LA)
counterclockwise until the
cutting/working attachment stops
moving and then turn the screw
another 1/2 to 1 full turn in the same
direction.
WARNING
If the cutting/working attachment
continues to run when the engine is
idling, have your machine checked and
repaired by your servicing dealer.
Erratic idling behavior, poor acceleration
(despite correction to setting of LA
screw).
Idle setting is too lean
N Turn the low speed screw (L)
carefully counterclockwise, no
further than stop, until the engine
runs smoothly and accelerates well.
Erratic idling behavior
Idle setting is too rich
N Turn the low speed screw (L) slowly
clockwise until the engine runs and
accelerates smoothly.
It is usually necessary to change the
setting of the idle speed screw (LA) after
every correction to the low speed
screw (L).
Fine Tuning for Operation at High
Altitude
A slight correction of the setting may be
necessary if the engine does not run
satisfactorily:
N Carry out the standard setting.
N Warm up the engine.
N Turn high speed screw (H) slightly
clockwise (leaner) – no further than
stop.
NOTICE
After returning from high altitude, reset
the carburetor to the standard setting.
If the setting is too lean there is a risk of
engine damage due to insufficient
lubrication and overheating.
N If the engine is down on power,
difficult to start or runs poorly at idle
speed, first check the spark plug.
N Fit a new spark plug after about 100
operating hours – or sooner if the
electrodes are badly eroded. Install
only suppressed spark plugs of the
type approved by STIHL – see
"Specifications".
Remove the spark plug
N Move the slide control to STOP-0
N Unplug spark plug boot (1)
N Unscrew spark plug

Checking the Spark Plug
N Clean dirty spark plug.
N Check electrode gap (A) and
readjust if necessary – see
"Specifications".
N Rectify the problems which have
caused fouling of the spark plug.
Possible causes are:
Too much oil in fuel mix.
Dirty air filter.
Unfavorable running conditions.
WARNING
Arcing may occur if the adapter nut (1) is
loose or missing. Working in an easily
combustible or explosive atmosphere
may cause a fire or an explosion. This
can result result in serious injuries or
damage to property.
N Use resistor type spark plugs with a
properly tightened adapter nut.
Installing the spark plug
N Screw home the spark plug, fit the
boot and press it down firmly.
If engine running behavior is
unsatisfactory even though the air filter
is clean and the carburetor is properly
adjusted, the cause may be the muffler.
Have the muffler checked for
contamination (carbonization) by your
servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends that you have
servicing and repair work carried out
exclusively by an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer.
