high-speed, fast-cutting
power tool, special safety
precautions must be
observed to reduce the
risk of personal injury.

Warning
The use of this machine may be
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.
Thrown objects, including broken heads
or polymer blades, may result in serious
or fatal injury to the operator or
bystanders.
Use your trimmer equipped with the
appropriate cutting attachment only for
cutting grass 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.
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,
harness and deflector for the type of
cutting attachment you are using. Use
only cutting 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.
It is important that you
read, fully understand and
observe the following
safety precautions and
warnings. Read the
instruction manual and
the safety precautions periodically.
Careless or improper use may cause
serious or fatal injury.
Have your STIHL dealer show you how
to operate your power tool. Observe all
applicable local safety regulations,
standards and ordinances.

Polycut head). FS models with an "R" on
the nameplate were originally
