Use the power tool like a scythe to cut
grass, i.e. sweep it to and fro in an arc.
Using the Circular Saw Blade
!
Warning!
To reduce the risk that the blade will
crack and/or break, avoid all contact with
stones, rocks or the ground. Sharpen
blades in a timely manner as specified –
dull teeth may cause the blade to crack
or shatter.
!
When cutting woody materials, use the
left side of the blade to avoid "kickout"
(blade thrust) situations.
Warning!

Warning!
When a trimmer/brushcutter with a
circular saw blade is used to cut down
small trees, STIHL recommends that the
standard deflector be removed and
replaced by the special limit stop
deflector (see chapter on “Mounting the
Deflector”). This limit stop helps to keep
the unit positioned against the tree
during the cutting process.
Improper use of a brush knife may cause
it to crack, chip or shatter. Thrown blade
fragments may seriously or fatally injure
the operator or bystanders. To reduce
the risk of injury, avoid contact with hard
or solid foreign objects such as stones,
rocks or pieces of metal.
!
Warning!
Inexperienced users should place the
left side of the stop against the tree trunk
before beginning to cut. This will keep
the trimmer/brushcutter against the tree
during the cutting operation and will
reduce the risk of loss of control and
possible kickout (described above and
briefly again below).
When cutting young saplings or other
woody materials up to 2 cm (3/4") in
diameter, use the left side of the blade to
avoid "kickout" situations (see section
on “Risk of kickout (blade thrust) with all
rigid cutting blades”). Do not attempt to
cut woody material with a larger
diameter, since the blade may catch or
jerk the power tool forward. This may
cause damage to the blade or power tool
or loss of control of the power tool,
resulting in personal injury. Use a
circular saw blade for such work.
Circular saw blades are suitable for
thinning brush and cutting small trees up
to a diameter of 4 cm (1 1/2”). Do not
attempt to cut trees with larger
diameters, since the blade may catch or
jerk the trimmer/brushcutter forward.
This may cause damage to the blade or
loss of control of the power tool and
result in serious injury. Use a chain saw
for such work.
!
Warning!
Inspect the brush knife at regular short
intervals for signs of damage. Do not
continue working with a damaged brush
knife. Resharpen the brush knife
regularly (when it has dulled noticeably).
