Allow only persons who fully understand
this manual to operate your trimmer.
To receive maximum performance and

satisfaction from your STIHL trimmer, it
is important that you read, understand
43
and follow the safety precautions and
the operating and maintenance
instructions in chapter "Safety
Precautions and Working Techniques"
before using your trimmer. For further
information you can go to
www.stihlusa.com.
Contact your STIHL dealer or the STIHL
distributor for your area if you do not

Warning!
Because a trimmer is a high-speed cut-
ting tool some special safety
precautions must be observed to reduce
the risk of personal injury. Careless or
improper use may cause serious or
even fatal injury.
Make sure your unit is equipped with the
proper deflector, handle and harness for
the type of cutting attachment being
used. Always wear proper eye
protection.
