The cutting attachment
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 per-
pendicular 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.
Replace a cracked, damaged or worn-
out head or a cracked, bent, warped,
damaged, dull or worn out blade imme-
diately, even if damage is limited to
superficial cracks. Such attachments
may shatter at high speed and cause
serious or fatal injury.

Warning!
When using rigid blades, avoid cutting
close to fences, sides of buildings, tree
trunks, stones or other such objects that
could cause the power tool to kick out or
could cause damage to the blade.
STIHL recommends use of the nylon
line heads for such jobs. In addition, be
alert to an increased possibility of rico-
chets in such situations.
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.
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
