This service manual contains de- tailed descriptions of all the repair and servicing procedures specific to this power tool series. There are separate handbooks for servicing procedures for stand- ardized parts and assemblies that are installed in several STIHL power tool models. Reference is made to these handbooks in the appropriate chapters in this manual. As the design concept of models FS 120, FS 200, FS 300, FS 350, FS 400, FS 450 and FR 350, FR 450 is almost identical, the descriptions and servicing procedures in this manual generally apply to all models. Differences are described in detail. You should make use of the illustrated parts lists while carrying out repair work. They show the installed positions of the individual components and assemblies. Refer to the latest edition of the relevant parts list to check the part numbers of any replacement parts needed. Parts lists on microfiche and CD- ROM are always more up to date than printed lists. A fault on the power tool may have several causes. Consult the troubleshooting charts for all assemblies in the "Standard Repairs, Troubleshooting" handbook. Refer to the "Technical Informa- tion" bulletins for engineering changes which have been intro- duced since publication of this service manual. Technical information bulletins also supplement the parts list until a revised edition is issued. The special servicing tools mentio- ned in the descriptions are listed in the last chapter of this manual. Use the part numbers to identify the tools in the "STIHL Special Tools" manual. The manual lists all special servicing tools currently available from STIHL. Symbols are included in the text and pictures for greater clarity. The meanings are as follows: In the descriptions: • = Action to be taken as shown in the illustration (above the text) - = Action to be taken that is not shown in the illustration (above the text) In the illustrations: = Pointer = Direction of movement Service manuals and all technical information bulletins describing engineering changes are intended exclusively for the use of STIHL servicing dealers. They must not be passed to third parties. Servicing and repairs are made considerably easier if the machine is mounted on assembly stand (2) 5910 890 3100 with the aid of clamp (1) 5910 890 8800. Secure the clamp to the assembly stand with two washers and two M8 nuts. Servicing and repairs to the powerhead are considerably easier if it is mounted on assembly stand (2) 5910 890 3100 with the aid of clamping plate (1) 5910 890 2101. First remove the clutch housing and secure the powerhead to the stand with two M6x20 and two M10x25 hex. head screws. The machine or powerhead can then be swivelled to the best position for the ongoing repair and this leaves both hands free. Always use original STIHL replacement parts. They can be identified by the STIHL part number, the and the STIHL parts symbol The symbol may appear alone on small parts. 1.

DG and P screws (Plastoform) are used in polymer and lightmetal components. These screws form a perma- nent thread when they are installed for the first time. They can be removed and installed as often as necessary without detrimentally affecting the strength of the screwed assembly, providing the specified tightening torque is observed. For this reason it is essential to use a torque wrench.
