stay clean and need no service or
maintenance. If you experience loss of
performance and you suspect a clogged
screen, have your muffler maintained by
a STIHL servicing dealer.
Warning!
The gearbox becomes hot during oper-
ation. To reduce the risk of burn injury,
do not touch the gear housing when it is
hot.
SomeSTIHLpowertools
are equipped with a cat-

For an illustration of the various cutting

mounting see the chapter on "Mounting
the Cutting Attachments" in your
instruction manual.
The muffler and other parts of the
engine (e.g. fins of the cylinder, spark
plug) become hot during operation and
remain hot for a while after stopping the
engine. To reduce risk of burns do not
touch the muffler and other parts while
they are hot.
process in the muffler. Due to this proc-
ess, the muffler does not cool down as
rapidly as conventional mufflers when
the engine returns to idle or is shut off.
To reduce the risk of fire and burn inju-
ries, the following specific safety
precautions must be observed.
Warning!
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 an FS model for which it is not
authorized.
Warning!
Warning!
To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury,
keep the area around the muffler clean.
Remove excess lubricant and all debris
such as pine needles, branches or
leaves. Let the engine cool down sitting
on concrete, metal, bare ground or solid
wood away from any combustible
substances.
Since a muffler with a catalytic converter
cools down less rapidly than conven-
tional mufflers, always set your power
tool down in the upright position and
never locate it where the muffler is near
dry brush, grass, wood chips or other
combustible materials while it is still hot.
Using the Mowing Heads
Do not use with mowing line longer than
the intended length. With a properly
mounted deflector, the built-in line-
limiting blade will automatically adjust
the line to its proper length.
Warning!
Warning!
Using the unit with an overly long nylon
cutting line increases the load on the
engine and reduces its operating speed.
This causes the clutch to slip
continuously and results in overheating
and damage to important components
(e.g. clutch, polymer housing
components). Such damage could,
among other things, cause the cutting
attachment to rotate at idle.
An improperly mounted or damaged cyl-
inder housing or a damaged / deformed
muffler shell may interfere with the cool-
ing process of the catalytic converter.
To reduce the risk of fire or burn injury,
do not continue work with a damaged or
improperly mounted cylinder housing or
a damaged / deformed muffler shell.
Never modify your muffler. The muffler
could be damaged and cause an
increase in heat radiation or sparks,
thereby increasing the risk of fire and
burn injury. You may also permanently
damage the engine. Have your muffler
serviced and repaired by your STIHL
servicing dealer only.
Your catalytic converter is furnished with
screens designed to reduce the risk of
fire from the emission of hot particles.
Due to the heat from the catalytic
reaction, these screens will normally
