Warning!
Edger noise may damage
your hearing. Wear sound
barriers (ear plugs or ear
mufflers) to protect your
hearing. Continual and
regular users should have
their hearing checked regularly.
Wear proper protective clothing.
Protect your hands with
gloves when handling the
edger and the cutting tool.
Heavy-duty, nonslip
gloves improve your grip
and protect your hands.
Clothing must be sturdy
and snug-fitting, but allow
complete freedom of
movement. Avoid loose-
fitting jackets, scarfs,
neckties, jewelry, flared or
cuffed pants, unconfined long hair or
anything that could become caught on
branches, brush or moving parts of the
unit. Wear long pants made of heavy
material to protect your legs. Do not
wear shorts.

Good footing is most
important in edger work.
Wear sturdy boots with
nonslip soles. Do not
operate edger when
barefoot or wearing open
sandals. Steel-toed safety boots are
recommended.
Wear an approved safety
hard hat to reduce the risk
of injury to your head
when there is a danger of
head injuries.

THE EDGER
For illustrations and definitions of the
edger parts see the chapter on
"Parts and Controls"!
!
Warning!
Never modify an edger in any way.
Only attachments supplied by STIHL or
expressly approved by STIHL for use
with the specific STIHL edger models
are authorized. Although certain un-
authorized attachments are useable for
the STIHL edger, their use may, in fact,
be extremely dangerous.
THE USE OF THE EDGER
Transporting the edger
!
Warning!
Always turn off the engine and make
sure the cutting attachment has stopped
before putting an edger down. When
transporting your edger in a vehicle,
properly secure it to prevent turnover,
fuel spillage and damage to the edger.
