Warning!
This trimmer is normally to be used at
ground level with the cutting attachment
parallel to the ground. Use of a trimmer
above ground level or with the cutting
attachment perpendicular to the ground
may increase the risk of injury, since the
cutting attachment is more fully exposed
and the power tool may be more difficult
to control.
Replace a cracked, damaged or worn-
out head or a cracked, bent, warped,
damaged, dull or worn out blade imme-
diately, even if damage is limited to
superficial cracks. Such attachments
may shatter at high speed and cause
serious or fatal injury.
The muffler and other parts of the
engine (e.g. fins of the cylinder, spark
plug) become hot during operation and
remain hot for a while after stopping the
engine. To reduce risk of burns do not
touch the muffler and other parts while
they are hot.
Warning!
Warning!
If the head, blade or deflector becomes
clogged or stuck, always shut off the
engine and make sure the cutting
attachment has stopped before clean-
ing. Grass, weeds, etc. should be
cleaned off the blade or from around the
head at regular intervals.
To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury,
keep the area around the muffler clean.
Remove excess lubricant and all debris
such as pine needles, branches or
leaves. Let the engine cool down sitting
on concrete, metal, bare ground or solid
wood away from any combustible
substances.
Warning!
During cutting, check the tightness and
the condition of the cutting attachment
at regular short intervals with the engine
and attachment stopped. If the behavior
of the attachment changes during use,
stop the engine immediately, wait until
the cutting attachment stops, and check
the nut securing the attachment for
tightness and the blade or head for
cracks, wear and damage.
Warning!
Warning!
To reduce the risk of unintentional rota-
tion of the cutting attachment and injury,
always shut off the engine and remove
the spark plug boot before replacing the
cutting attachment. To reduce the risk of
injury, always shut off the engine before
adjusting the length of the nylon line on
manually adjustable mowing heads.
Never modify your muffler. The muffler
could be damaged and cause an
increase in heat radiation or sparks,
thereby increasing the risk of fire and
burn injury. You may also permanently
damage the engine. Have your muffler
serviced and repaired by your STIHL
servicing dealer only.
Warning!
A loose blade or head may vibrate,
crack, break or come off the trimmer,
which may result in serious or fatal
injury. Make sure that the cutting attach-
ment is properly tightened. Use the
wrench supplied or one of sufficient
length to obtain the proper torque. If the
blade or head loosens after being prop-
erly tightened, stop work immediately.
The retaining nut may be worn or dam-
aged and should be replaced. If the
blade or head continues to loosen, see
your STIHL dealer. Never use a trimmer
with a loose cutting attachment.
Warning!
The gearbox becomes hot during oper-
ation. To reduce the risk of burn injury,
do not touch the gear housing when it is
hot.
