Operating Instructions

In the event of an emergency, shut off

the engine immediately – move the slide

control / stop switch to 0 or STOP.

To reduce the risk of eye and other injury

always wear proper eye protection (see

the chapter on "Proper Clothing") and

ensure that bystanders are at least

50 feet (15 m) away. To reduce the risk

of damage to property, also maintain this

distance from such objects as vehicles

or windows. Any coworkers who must be

in the restricted area should also wear

goggles or protective glasses.

Stop the engine and cutting tool

immediately if you are approached.

Warning!

Inhalation of certain dusts, especially

organic dusts such as mold or pollen,

can cause susceptible persons to have

an allergic or asthmatic reaction. Sub-

stantial or repeated inhalation of dust

and other airborne contaminants, in par-

ticular those with a smaller particle size,

may cause respiratory or other ill-

nesses. Control dust at the source

where possible. Use good work prac-

tices, such as operating the unit so that

the wind or operating process directs

any dust raised by the power tool away

from the operator. Follow the recom-

mendations of EPA / OSHA / NIOSH

and occupational and trade associa-

tions with respect to dust ("particulate

matter".) When the inhalation of dust

cannot be substantially controlled, i.e.,

kept at or near the ambient (back-

ground) level, the operator and any

bystanders should wear a respirator

approved by NIOSH / MSHA for the type

of dust encountered.

Warning!

Do not operate your power tool using

the starting throttle lock, as you do not

have control of the engine speed.

Warning!

The rotating cutting attachment may

fling foreign objects directly or by rico-

chet a great distance.

Never use metal

blades on this trim-

mer. Only mowing

heads are

authorized.

Warning!

Before you start work,

examine the area for

stones, glass, fence wire,

metal, trash or other solid

objects. The cutting

attachment could throw

objects of this kind.

15m (50ft)

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.

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 head for cracks, wear

and damage.

Warning!

A loose head may vibrate, crack, break

or come off the trimmer, which may

result in serious or fatal injury. Make

sure that the cutting attachment is prop-

erly tightened. Use the wrench supplied

or one of sufficient length to obtain the

proper torque. If the head loosens after

being properly tightened, stop work

immediately. The retaining nut may be

worn or damaged and should be

replaced. If the head continues to

loosen, see your STIHL dealer. Never

use a trimmer with a loose cutting

attachment.
