Warning!
Always stop the engine and make sure
that the cutting tool is stopped before
doing any maintenance or repair work or
cleaning the power tool. Do not attempt
any maintenance or repair work not
described in your power tool and
attachment instruction manuals. Have
such work performed by your STIHL
servicing dealer only.
Wear gloves when handling or
performing maintenance on blades.
!
Warning!
Never repair damaged cutting attach-
ments by welding, straightening or
modifying the shape. This may cause
parts of the cutting tool to come off and
result in serious or fatal injuries.
Keep the cutting tool sharp. Tighten all
nuts, bolts and screws, except the
carburetor adjustment screws, after
each use.
Store the power tool in a dry and high or
locked location out of reach of children.

Using the Machine

Do not use your power scythe
attachment during other people's rest
periods.
General
The power scythe is used at ground
level. As its blades operate like a mower
bar, the unit is ideal for cutting scrub,
thicket, reed, wild growth and hard
grasses. The power scythe is
particularly suitable for applications in
busy areas, such as traffic islands or
parks, because cuttings are not caught
and thrown by the blades.
Preparations
Always wear a harness.
Do not throw cuttings in
the rubbish bin (garbage
can) - they can be
composted!

Cutting Technique

Working position and method are
exactly the same as for a brushcutter.
The cutter bar is swept to and fro in an
arc just above the ground.
