hazardous. If the rotating line or blade
comes in contact with your body, it will
cut you. When it comes in contact with
solid foreign objects such as rocks or
bits of metal, it may fling them directly or
by ricochet in the direction of bystanders
or the operator. Striking such objects
could damage the cutting attachment
and may cause blades to crack, chip or
break. Thrown objects, including broken
heads or blades, may result in serious or
fatal injury to the operator or bystanders.
STIHL does not recommend the use of
rigid blades when cutting in stony areas.

equipped with a rigid metal blade. Your
FS model may be used as either a
trimmer or a brushcutter - therefore, it is
referred to here as a "trimmer/
brushcutter." The term "clearing saw"
indicates a high-powered trimmer/
brushcutter that is particularly suited for
use with a circular saw blade to clear
saplings or small trees. FS models with
an "R" on the nameplate were originally
configured (at the time of distribution) as
a trimmer with a loop handle.
