Always switch off the tool and unplug it from the
power supply before replacing the cutting attach‐
ment. Risk of injury from the motor starting unin‐
tentionally!
Do not continue using or attempt to repair dam‐
aged or cracked cutting attachments by means
of welding, straightening or modifying the shape
(unbalanced).
Particles or pieces may come off and hit the
operator or a bystander at a high speed – risk of
most severe injuries!
If a rotating cutting attachment touches a rock or
another hard object, sparks may be generated
which may possibly ignite combustible materials.
Also dried-out plants and brushwood are com‐
bustible, above all in hot and dry weather. If
there is a risk of fire, do not use cutting attach‐
ments in the vicinity of combustible materials,
dried-out plants or brushwood. It is mandatory
that you ask the responsible forestry office about
current fire hazards.
Only use the deflector with properly mounted
blade that ensures the mowing line is restricted
to the permissible length.
To reduce the risk of injury, avoid contact with
the blade.
To reduce the risk of injury, always switch off the
tool and unplug it from the power supply before
manually adjusting the mowing line.
Misuse with mowing lines that are too long
reduces the working speed of the engine. This
results in overheating and damage to the motor.
To reduce the risk of injury, never use wire in
place of the nylon cutting line.
If your power tool is subjected to unusual stress
for which it was not designed (e.g. heavy impact
or a fall), always check that it is in good condition
before continuing work – see also "Before Start‐
ing Work". Make sure the safety devices are
working properly. Do not continue operating your
machine if it is damaged. In case of doubt, con‐
tact a dealer.
Before leaving the power tool unattended: Switch
it off and disconnect the plug from the power
supply.

2 Safety Precautions and Working Techniques
However, the operator should seek medical
advice in the event of suspected circulatory prob‐
lems in the hands (e.g. tingling sensation in the
fingers).
2.10 Maintenance and Repairs
Always switch off the machine and disconnect
the plug from the power supply before carrying
out any maintenance work to reduce the risk of
injury from the motor starting unintentionally.
Service the machine regularly. Do not attempt
any maintenance or repair work not described in
the instruction manual. Have all other work per‐
formed by a servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends that you have servicing and
repair work carried out exclusively by an author‐
ized STIHL servicing dealer. STIHL dealers are
regularly given the opportunity to attend training
courses and are supplied with the necessary
technical information.
Only use high-quality replacement parts in order
to avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the
machine. If you have any questions in this
respect, consult a servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends the use of genuine STIHL
replacement parts. They are specifically
designed to match your machine model and
meet your performance requirements.
Never attempt to modify your power tool in any
way since this will increase the risk of personal
injury.
Regularly check that the insulation of the power
cord and plug is in good condition and shows no
sign of ageing (brittleness).
Electrical components, e.g. power cord, may only
be repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician.
Clean plastic components with a cloth. Do not
use aggressive detergents. They may damage
the plastic.
Do not spray the machine with water.
Check tightness of mounting screws on safety
devices and the cutting attachment and retighten
if necessary.
Clean cooling air inlets in motor housing as nec‐
essary.
Store the machine is a safe and dry place.
