Warning!
Before you start work,
Replace a cracked, bent, warped, dam-
aged, dull or worn out blade
immediately, even if damage is limited
to superficial cracks. Such attachments
may shatter at high speed and cause
serious or fatal injury.
The muffler and other parts of the
engine (e.g. fins of the cylinder, spark
plug) become hot during operation and
remain hot for a while after stopping the
engine. To reduce risk of burns do not
touch the muffler and other parts while
they are hot.
examine the area for
stones,glass,fencewire,
metal,trash or other solid
objects. The cutting
attachment could throw
objects of this kind.

Warning!
When using your edger, avoid cutting
close to fences, sides of buildings, tree
trunks, stones or other such objects that
could cause the power tool to kick out or
could cause damage to the blade.
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 blade for cracks, wear
and damage.
To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury,
keep the area around the muffler clean.
Remove excess lubricant and all debris
such as pine needles, branches or
leaves. Let the engine cool down sitting
on concrete, metal, bare ground or solid
wood away from any combustible
substances.
Warning!
If the blade or deflector becomes
clogged or stuck, always shut off the
engine and make sure the cutting
attachment has stopped before clean-
ing. Grass, weeds, etc. should be
cleaned off the blade at regular
intervals.
Warning!
Never modify your muffler. The muffler
could be damaged and cause an
increase in heat radiation or sparks,
thereby increasing the risk of fire and
burn injury. You may also permanently
damage the engine. Have your muffler
serviced and repaired by your STIHL
servicing dealer only.
Warning!
A loose blade may vibrate, crack, break
or come off the edger, which may result
in serious or fatal injury. Make sure that
the cutting attachment is properly tight-
ened. Use the wrench supplied or one of
sufficient length to obtain the proper
torque. If the blade loosens after being
properly tightened, stop work immedi-
ately. The retaining nut may be worn or
damaged and should be replaced. If the
blade continues to loosen, see your
STIHL dealer. Never use an edger with
a loose cutting attachment.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of unintentional rota-
tion of the cutting attachment and injury,
always shut off the engine before
replacing the cutting attachment.
Warning!
The gearbox becomes hot during oper-
ation. To reduce the risk of burn injury,
do not touch the gear housing when it is
hot.
