Warning!
To reduce the risk
of injury from
thrown objects and
blade contact,
never operate a
trimmer without a properly mounted
deflector. Keep the deflector (and the
skirt where appropriate) adjusted
properly at all times. Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. Special care must be taken in
slippery conditions (wet ground, snow)
and in difficult, overgrown terrain. Watch
for hidden obstacles such as tree
stumps, roots and ditches to avoid
stumbling. Be extremely cautious when
working on slopes or uneven ground.
Before cutting, inspect the
area for stones, glass,
pieces of metal, trash or
other solid objects. The
cutting attachment could
throw objects of this kind.
!
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 trimmer may be more difficult to
control. Never use your trimmer as a
hedge trimmer.

Do not operate using the starting
throttle lock as you do not have control
of the engine speed. See section of your
owner's manual on the proper use of the
slide control.
If the cutting tool or deflector becomes
clogged or stuck, always turn off the
engine and make sure the cutting tool
has stopped, before cleaning. Grass,
weeds, etc. should be cleaned off the
cutting tool at regular intervals.
!
Warning!
During cutting, check the tightness and
the condition of the cutting tool at
regular intervals. If the behavior of the
tool changes, stop the engine im-
mediately, and check the nut securing
the tool for tightness and the cutting
tool for cracks and damage. Replace
damaged cutting tools immediately.
Such tools may shatter at high speed
and cause serious or fatal injury.
!
Warning!
Keep hands and feet
away from cutting tool.
Never touch a rotating
cutting tool with your hand
or any part of your body. It
continues to rotate for a
short period after the throttle trigger is
released (flywheel effect).
Important adjustments
!
Warning!
To reduce the risk of personal injury from
loss of control or contact with the
running cutting tool, do not use a cutting
tool with incorrect idle adjustment.
At correct idle speed, the cutting tool
should not move. For directions on how
to adjust idle speed, see the appropriate
section of your owner's manual.
If you cannot set the correct idle speed,
have your STIHL dealer check your
trimmer and make proper adjustments
and repairs.
