Use your trimmer equipped with the
appropriate cutting attachment only for
cutting grass, brush, wood and similar
material. It must not be used for any
other purposes, since such misuse may
result in an accident or damage to the
machine.
THE OPERATOR
Warning!
As more fully explained later in these
Safety Precautions, to reduce the risk of
personal injury, make sure your unit is
equipped with the proper handle, har-
ness and deflector for the type of cutting
attachment you are using. Use only cut-
ting attachments that are specifically
authorized by STIHL for use on your FS
model. To reduce the risk of severe or
fatal injury from blade contact and/or
loss of control, never attempt to use a
metal blade on this trimmer.
Physical Condition
You must be in good physical condition
and mental health and not under the
influence of any substance (drugs,
alcohol, etc.) which might impair vision,
dexterity or judgment. Do not operate
this machine when you are fatigued.
Warning!
Minors should never be allowed to use
this power tool. Bystanders, especially
children, and animals should not be
allowed in the area where it is in use.
Warning!
Be alert – if you get tired, take a break.
Tiredness may result in loss of control.
Working with any power tool can be
strenuous. If you have any condition
that might be aggravated by strenuous
work, check with your doctor before
operating this machine.
Have your STIHL dealer show you how
to operate your power tool. Observe all
applicable local safety regulations,
standards and ordinances.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury to bystand-
ers and damage to property, never let
your power tool run unattended. When it
is not in use (e.g. during a work break),
shut it off and make sure that unauthor-
ized persons do not use it.
Warning!
Do not lend or rent your power tool with-
out the instruction manual. Be sure that
anyone using it understands the infor-
mation contained in this manual.
Warning!
Most of these safety precautions and
warnings apply to the use of all STIHL
trimmers. Different models may have
different parts and controls. See the
appropriate section of your instruction
manual for a description of the controls
and the function of the parts of your
model.
Prolonged use of a power tool (or other
machines) exposing the operator to
vibrations may produce whitefinger dis-
ease (Raynaud's phenomenon) or
carpal tunnel syndrome.
Warning!
These conditions reduce the hand's
ability to feel and regulate temperature,
produce numbness and burning
sensations and may cause nerve and
circulation damage and tissue necrosis.
The use of this machine may be hazard-
ous. If the rotating line or blade comes in
contact with your body, it will cut you.
When it comes in contact with solid for-
eign objects such as rocks or bits of
metal, it may fling them directly or by ric-
ochet in the direction of bystanders or
the operator. Striking such objects could
damage the cutting attachment. Thrown
objects, including broken heads or
blades, may result in serious or fatal
injury to the operator or bystanders.

All factors which contribute to white-
finger disease are not known, but cold
weather, smoking and diseases or
physical conditions that affect blood
vessels and blood transport, as well as
high vibration levels and long periods of
exposure to vibration are mentioned as
factors in the development of whitefinger
