Because a trimmer is a high-speed
cutting tool some special safety pre-
cautions must be observed to reduce
the risk of personal injury. Careless or
improper use may cause serious or
even fatal injury. Make sure your unit is
equipped with the proper deflector,
handle and harness for the type of
cutting attachment being used. Always
wear proper eye protection.
STIHL’s philosophy is to continually
improve all of its products. As a result,
engineering changes and improve-
ments are made from time to time. If the
operating characteristics or the appear-
ance of your trimmer differ from
those described in this manual, please
contact your STIHL dealer for informa-
tion and assistance.
