Keep lead away from spark plug to
reduce the risk of unintentional starting.
Never attempt to make any adjustments
while the engine is running (except
where specifically recommended in this
manual).
Do not attempt any maintenance or
repair work not described in your
owner's manual. Have such work
performed at your STIHL service shop
only. Do not modify the engine governor
or overspeed the engine.
Never repair damaged cutting
attachments 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.
Check condition of cutting tool at regular
short intervals. If behavior of tool
changes, check it immediately for
tightness or any signs of cracks in
particular. Replace damaged or dull
cutting tools immediately, even if they
have only superficial cracks.
Check fuel filler cap for leaks at regular
intervals. Use the specified spark plug
and make sure it and the ignition lead
are always in good condition.

Warning!
A worn or damaged muffler is a fire
hazard and may cause loss of hearing.
Check to see that the muffler is in good
condition. The edger must not be
operated if the muffler is not functioning
properly or has been removed.
Remember that the risk of forest fires is
greater in hot weather.
Use the spark arresting muffler supplied
with the unit. Never touch a hot muffler
or burn will result.

modify or remove any part of the muffler
or spark arrestor.
Tighten all nuts, bolts and screws except
the carburetor adjustment screws after
each use.
Keep spark plug and wire connection
tight and clean. The spark plug electrode
gap should be checked with a feeler
gauge at least every 50 operating hours
and reset if necessary. Fit a new spark
plug if the electrodes are badly pitted.
