Remember that the risk of forest fires is
greater in hot or dry weather.
Tighten all nuts, bolts and screws,
except the carburetor adjustment
screws, after each use.
Additionally, the daily maintenance
schedule for your trimmer set forth in
your STIHL Owner's Manual should be
strictly followed.
For any maintenance please refer to the
maintenance chart and to the warranty
statement near the end of this manual.
Store trimmer in a dry, high or locked
location out of reach of children.
Before storing for longer than a few
days, always empty the fuel tank.

USING THE CUTTING TOOLS
For an illustration of the various cutting
tools and instructions on proper
mounting see the chapter on "mounting
the cutting tools" in your owner's
manual.
Using the mowing heads
The STIHL SuperCut, AutoCut and
TrimCut mowing heads produce a clean
and tidy finish.
They are to be used only on brush-
cutters equipped with a limiter blade in
the deflector in order to keep the line at
the proper length (see "Parts and
Controls" chapter of this manual).
If the lawn edges are planted with trees
or bordered by a fence etc., it is best to
use a nylon line head. It achieves a
"softer" cut with less risk of damaging
tree bark etc. than with the polymer
blades.
!
Warning!
To reduce the risk of serious injury,
never use wire or metal-reinforced line
or other material in place of the nylon
cutting lines. Pieces of wire could break
off and be thrown at high speed toward
the operator or bystanders.
