Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Warning!
Because a trimmer is a
high-speed, fast-cutting
power tool, special safety
precautions must be
observed to reduce the
risk of personal injury.
It is important that you
read, fully understand and
observe the following
safety precautions and
warnings. Read the
owner's manual and the
safety instructions periodically.
Careless or improper use of any trimmer
may cause serious or fatal injury.
Have your STIHL dealer show you how
to operate your trimmer. Observe all
applicable local safety regulations,
standards and ordinances.
!
Warning!
Do not lend or rent your trimmer without
the owner's manual. Be sure that any-
one using your trimmer understands the
information contained in this manual.

Warning!
The use of any trimmer may be
hazardous. If the rotating cutting tool
comes in contact with your body, it will
cut you. When it comes in contact with
solid foreign objects such as rocks or
bits of metal, it may fling them directly or
by ricochet in the direction of bystanders
or the operator. Striking such objects
could damage the cutting tool. Thrown
objects or damaged cutting tools may
result in serious or fatal injury to the
operator or bystanders.
!
Warning!
Minors should never be allowed to
use a trimmer. Bystanders, especially
children, and animals should not be
allowed in the area where a trimmer
is in use.
Never let the trimmer run unattended.
Most of these safety precautions and
warnings apply to the use of all STIHL
trimmers. Different models may have
different parts and controls. See the
appropriate section of your owner's
manual for a description of the controls
and function of the parts of your model
trimmer.

Physical Condition
You must be in good physical condition
and mental health and not under the
influence of any substance (drugs,
alcohol, etc.) which might impair vision,
dexterity or judgement. Do not operate a
trimmer when you are fatigued.
Be alert - if you get tired while operating
your trimmer, take a break.
Tiredness may result in loss of control.
Working with any trimmer can be
strenuous. If you have any condition that
might be aggravated by strenuous work,
check with your doctor before operating
a trimmer.
