Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Because a trimmer is a
high-speed, fast-cutting
power tool, special safety
precautions must be
observed to reduce the
risk of personal injury.
It is important that you
read, fully understand and
observe the following
safety precautions and
warnings. Read the
instruction manuals and
the safety instructions of your
KombiEngine and KombiTool
periodically.
Careless or improper use may cause
serious or fatal injury.
The terminology utilized in this manual
when referring to the power tool reflects
the type of cutting attachments that may
be mounted on it. The term "trimmer" is
used to designate an FS unit that is
equipped with a nylon line head or a
head with flexible plastic blades (i.e., the
Polycut head). FS models with an "R" on
the nameplate were originally
configured (at the time of distribution) as
a trimmer with a loop handle.

Warning
As more fully explained later in these
Safety Precautions, to reduce the risk of
personal injury, make sure your unit is
equipped with the proper handle,
harness and deflector for the type of
cutting attachment you are using. Use
only cutting attachments that are
specifically authorized by STIHL for use
on your FS model. 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 this trimmer.
Have your STIHL dealer show you how
to operate your power tool. Observe all
applicable local safety regulations,
standards and ordinances.
!
Warning!
Do not lend or rent your power tool
without the instruction manuals of your
KombiEngine and KombiTool. Be sure
that anyone using it understands the
information contained in these manuals.
