The terminology utilized in this manual

when referring to the power tool reflects

the type of cutting attachments that may

be mounted on it. The term "trimmer" is

used to designate an FS unit that is

equipped with a nylon line head or a

head with flexible plastic blades (i.e., the

PolyCut head.) FS models with an "R"

on the nameplate were originally

configured (at the time of distribution) as

a trimmer with a loop handle.

Have your STIHL dealer show you how

to operate your power tool. Observe all

applicable local safety regulations,

standards and ordinances.

Use your trimmer equipped with the

appropriate cutting attachment only for

cutting grass and similar material.

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 instruction

manual for a description of the controls

and the function of the parts of your

model.

Safe use of a trimmer involves

1. the operator

2. the power tool

3. the use of the power tool

Safety Precautions and

Working Techniques

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

instruction manual and

the safety precautions

periodically. Careless or

improper use may cause

serious or fatal injury.

Warning!

As more fully explained later in these

Safety Precautions, to reduce the risk of

personal injury, make sure your unit is

equipped with the proper handle, har-

ness and deflector for the type of cutting

attachment you are using. Use only cut-

ting attachments that are specifically

authorized by STIHL for use on your FS

model. To reduce the risk of severe or

fatal injury from blade contact and / or

loss of control, never attempt to use a

metal blade on this trimmer.

Warning!

Do not lend or rent your power tool with-

out the instruction manual. Be sure that

anyone using it understands the infor-

mation contained in this manual.

Warning!

The use of this machine may be hazard-

ous. If the rotating line or blade comes in

contact with your body, it will cut you.

When it comes in contact with solid for-

eign objects such as rocks or bits of

metal, it may fling them directly or by ric-

ochet in the direction of bystanders or

the operator. Striking such objects could

damage the cutting attachment. Thrown

objects, including broken heads or poly-

mer blades, may result in serious or

fatal injury to the operator or

bystanders.

Warning!

Do not use it for other purposes, since

misuse may result in personal injury or

property damage, including damage to

the machine.

Warning!

Minors should never be allowed to use

this power tool. Bystanders, especially

children, and animals should not be

allowed in the area where it is in use.

Warning!

To reduce the risk of injury to bystand-

ers and damage to property, never let

your power tool run unattended. When it

is not in use (e.g. during a work break),

shut it off and make sure that unauthor-

ized persons do not use it.
