Warning!
Your power tool is a one-person
machine. Do not allow other persons in
the general work area, even when
starting.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of
control, do not attempt to "drop start"
your power tool.
Warning!
When you pull the starter grip, do not
wrap the starter rope around your hand.
Do not let the grip snap back, but guide
the starter rope to rewind it properly.
Failure to follow this procedure may
result in injury to your hand or fingers
and may damage the starter
mechanism.
Important Adjustments
Warning!
To reduce the risk of personal injury
from loss of control or contact with the
running cutting attachment, do not use
your unit with incorrect idle adjustment.
At correct idle speed, the cutting attach-
ment should not move. For directions on
how to adjust idle speed, see the appro-
priate section of your instruction
manual.
If you cannot set the correct idle speed,
have your STIHL dealer check your
power tool and make proper
adjustments and repairs.

During Operation
Holding and Controlling the Power
Tool
Always hold the unit firmly with both
hands on the handles while you are
working. Wrap your fingers and thumbs
around the handles.
Warning!
Never attempt to operate
your power tool with one
hand. Loss of control of
the power tool resulting in
serious or fatal injury may
result. To reduce the risk
of cut injuries, keep hands and feet
away from the cutting attachment.
Never touch a moving cutting attach-
ment with your hand or any other part of
your body.
Warning!
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Special care
must be taken in slippery conditions
(wet ground, snow) and in difficult, over-
grown terrain. Watch for hidden
obstacles such as tree stumps, roots
and ditches to avoid stumbling. For bet-
ter footing, clear away scrub and
cuttings. Be extremely cautious when
working on slopes or uneven ground.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of
control, never work on a ladder or on
any other insecure support. Never hold
the cutting attachment above waist
height.
Working Conditions
Operate and start your power tool only
outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
Operate it under good visibility and
