This trimmer/brushcutter is normally to
be used at ground level with the cutting
attachment parallel to the ground. Use of
a trimmer/brushcutter above ground
level or with the cutting attachment
perpendicular to the ground may
increase the risk of injury, since the
cutting attachment is more fully exposed
and the power tool may be more difficult
to control.
A loose blade or head may vibrate,
crack, break or come off the trimmer/
brushcutter, which may result in serious
or fatal injury. Make sure that the cutting
attachment is properly tightened. Use
the wrench supplied or one of sufficient
length to obtain the proper torque. If the
blade or head loosens after being
properly tightened, stop work
immediately. The retaining nut may be
worn or damaged and should be
replaced. If the blade or head continues
to loosen, see your STIHL dealer. Never
use a trimmer/brushcutter with a loose
cutting attachment.
To reduce the risk of eye and other injury
always wear proper eye protection (see
the chapter on “Proper Clothing“) and
ensure that bystanders are at least 50
feet (15 m) away. To reduce the risk of
damage to property, also maintain this
distance from such objects as vehicles
or windows. Any coworkers who must be
in the restricted area should also wear
goggles or protective glasses. Stop the
engine immediately if you are
!Warning!
During cutting, check the tightness and
the condition of the cutting attachment at
regular short intervals with the engine
and attachment stopped. If the behavior
of the attachment changes during use,
stop the engine immediately, wait until
the cutting attachment stops, and check
the nut securing the attachment for
tightness and the blade or head for
cracks, wear and damage.
!Warning!
approached.
Replace a cracked, damaged or worn-
out head or a cracked, bent, warped,
damaged, dull or worn out blade
immediately, even if damage is limited to
superficial cracks. Such attachments
may shatter at high speed and cause
serious or fatal injury.
!
Warning!
Before you start work,
examine the area for
stones, glass, fence wire,
metal, trash or other solid
objects. The cutting
attachment could throw
objects of this kind.
