Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Because this trimmer is a
high-speed, fast-cutting
power tool and is battery-
powered, 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 manual and
the safety precautions
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 types of cutting attachments that
may be mounted on it. The term
"trimmer" is used to designate an FSA
unit that is equipped with a nylon line
head.
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 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
FSA model. To reduce the risk of severe
or fatal injury from loss of control and/or
blade contact, never attempt to use a
metal blade or rigid polymer blade.

Have your STIHL dealer show you how
to operate your power tool. Observe all
applicable local safety regulations,
standards and ordinances.
The use of noise emitting power tools
may be restricted to certain times by
national or local regulations.
WARNING
Do not lend or rent your power tool
without the instruction manual. Be sure
that anyone using it understands the
information contained in this manual.
WARNING
The use of this machine may be
hazardous. If the rotating line comes in
contact with your body, it may cut you.
When it comes in contact with solid
foreign objects such as rocks or bits of
metal, it may fling them directly or by
ricochet in the direction of bystanders or
the operator. Striking such objects could
damage the cutting attachment. Thrown
objects, including broken heads, may
result in serious or fatal injury to the
operator or bystanders.
Use your trimmer equipped with the
appropriate cutting attachment only for
cutting grass and similar material.
WARNING
Do not use it for other purposes, since
misuse may result in personal injury or
property damage, including damage to
the machine.
WARNING
Minors should never be allowed to use
this power tool. Bystanders, especially
children, and animals should not be
allowed in the area where it is in use.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury to bystanders
and damage to property, never let your
power tool run unattended. When it is
not in use (e.g. during a work break),
shut it off and make sure that
unauthorized persons do not use it. To
do this, move retaining latch to ƒ and
remove the battery from the power tool.
Most of these safety precautions and
warnings apply to the use of all STIHL
trimmers. Different models may have
different parts and controls. See the
appropriate section of your instruction
manual for a description of the controls
and the function of the parts of your
model.
Always remove the battery and move
retaining latch to ƒ before transporting,
storing or carrying out any work on the
power tool. This avoids the risk of the
motor starting unintentionally.
STIHL recommends the use of original
STIHL replacement parts. They are
specifically designed to match your
model and meet your performance
requirements.
Safe use of a trimmer involves
1. the operator
2. the power tool
3. the use of the power tool.
