5 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
￭ Using only the approved combination of cutting
attachment and deflector is extremely important to
maximize cutting performance and reduce the risk of
personal injury from thrown objects or contact with the
cutting attachment:
– To reduce the risk of serious injury, never use wire
or metal-reinforced line or other material in place of
the recommended nylon cutting line. Pieces of wire
could break off and be thrown at high speed toward
the operator or bystanders.
￭ Using a trimmer that is modified, damaged, improperly
adjusted or not completely and securely assembled can
lead to a malfunction and increase the risk of serious
personal injury or death.
– Never operate a trimmer that is modified, damaged,
improperly maintained or not completely and
securely assembled.
– Always check your trimmer for proper condition and
operation, particularly the retaining latch, trigger
switch lockout, trigger switch, deflector and cutting
attachment.
– Ensure that the retaining latch, trigger switch lockout
and trigger switch move freely and always spring
back to the stop position when released. The trigger
switch must not engage until the retaining latch is
unlocked and the trigger switch lockout is
depressed.
– Never attempt to modify or override the controls or
safety devices.
– The cutting attachment must engage only when the
activation key is inserted, the retaining latch is
unlocked and the trigger switch lockout and trigger
switch are depressed.
– If your trimmer or any part is damaged or does not
function properly, take it to your authorized STIHL
servicing dealer. Do not use the trimmer until the
problem has been corrected.
