Working Techniques
Additionally, the daily maintenance
schedule for your edger set forth in your
STIHL Owner's Manual should be
strictly followed.
For any maintenance please refer to the
maintenance chart and to the warranty
statement near the end of this manual.
!
Warning!
A worn or damaged muffler is a fire
hazard and may cause loss of hearing.
Check to see that the muffler is in good
condition. The edger must not be
operated if the muffler is not functioning
properly or has been removed.
Remember that the risk of forest fires is
greater in hot weather.
Store edger indoors in a dry, high or
locked location out of reach of children.
Your power edger is designed to
produce sharp contoured borders
around lawns and flower beds. It will cut
almost all types of grass, weeds and soft
green plants.
Use the spark arresting muffler supplied
with the unit. Never touch a hot muffler
or burn will result.
Before storing for longer than a few
days, always empty the fuel tank.
Never store the machine with fuel in the
fuel tank inside a building where fumes
may reach an open flame or sparks, or in
a confined area such as a car trunk.
!
Warning!
In order to reduce the risk of fire, do not
modify or remove any part of the muffler
or spark arrestor.
Preparations
If the soil is very dry, spray it with water
before you start work: this softens the
soil a little and also reduces the amount
of dust created. Slightly damp green
plants are easier to cut.
Tighten all nuts, bolts and screws except
the carburetor adjustment screws after
each use.
Keep spark plug and wire connection
tight and clean. The spark plug electrode
gap should be checked with a feeler
gauge at least every 50 operating hours
and reset if necessary. Fit a new spark
plug if the electrodes are badly pitted.
:
Inspect the work area and clear
away any obstacles (stones, gravel,
glass, etc.) to reduce the risk of
injury from thrown objects.
Plan the best route for edging, i.e.
starting point, changes in direction,
etc. Always hold and operate your
edger on the right-hand side of the
body.
