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 edger vibrates abnormally, imme-
diateley stop the engine and check for
the cause. Vibration is generally a
warning of trouble. Replace cracked,
bent, warped, damaged, excessively
worn or dull cutting tools immediately.
Such tools may shatter at high speed
and cause a serious or fatal injury.
Never use unauthorized parts to secure
the blade. Failure to use the proper parts
may cause the blade to fly off and
seriously injure the operator or
bystanders. If the blade continues to
loosen, see your STIHL dealer. Do not
attach any blade to a unit without proper
installation of all required parts. Never
use an edger with a loose blade.
If the cutting tool or deflector becomes
clogged or stuck, always turn off the
engine, disconnect spark plug lead and
make sure the cutting tool has stopped,
before cleaning. Keep lead away from
spark plug to reduce the risk of un-
intentional starting. Grass, weeds, etc.
should be cleaned off the cutting tool at
regular intervals.
!Warning!
!Warning!
A loose nut may cause the blade to
vibrate, crack, break or come off the
edger, which may result in serious or
fatal injury. Make sure that the blade is
properly tightened. Use the wrench
supplied or one of sufficient length to
obtain the proper torque. If the blade
loosens after being properly tightened,
stop work immediately. The retaining nut
may be worn or damaged and should be
replaced.
Never touch a rotating cutting tool with
your hand or any part of your body. The
tool continues to rotate for a short period
after the throttle trigger is released
(flywheel effect).
!
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 immediately,
and check the nut securing the tool for
tightness and the cutting tool for cracks
and damage.
Important adjustments
!Warning!
At correct idle speed, the cutting tool
should not turn. For directions on how to
adjust idle speed, see the appropriate
section of your owner's manual.
