where possible. Use good work
practices, such as operating the unit so
that the wind or operating process
directs any dust raised by the power tool
away from the operator. Follow the
recommendations of
EPA/OSHA/NIOSH and occupational
and trade associations with respect to
dust ("particulate matter"). When the
inhalation of dust cannot be
substantially controlled, i.e., kept at or
near the ambient (background) level, the
operator and any bystanders should
wear a respirator approved by
NIOSH/MSHA for the type of dust
encountered.
Operating Instructions
WARNING
Do not operate your power tool using the
starting throttle lock, as you do not have
control of the engine speed.
In the event of an emergency, switch off
the engine immediately move the slide
control / stop switch to 0 or STOP.
WARNING
The rotating cutting attachment may
fling foreign objects directly or by
ricochet a great distance.
To reduce the risk of eye and other injury
always wear proper eye protection (see
the chapter on "Proper Clothing") and
ensure that bystanders are at least
15 m (50 feet) away. To reduce the risk
of damage to property, also maintain this
distance from such objects as vehicles
or windows. Even maintaining a
minimum distance of 15 meters cannot
exclude all potential risks. Any
coworkers who must be in the restricted
area should also wear goggles or
protective glasses. Stop the engine
immediately if you are approached.
WARNING
WARNING
This trimmer is normally to be used at
ground level with the cutting attachment
parallel to the ground. Use of a trimmer
above ground level or with the cutting
attachment perpendicular to the ground
may increase the risk of injury, since the
cutting attachment is more fully exposed
and the power tool may be more difficult
to control.
WARNING
During cutting, check the tightness and
the condition of the cutting attachment at
regular short intervals with the engine
and attachment stopped. If the behavior
of the attachment changes during use,
stop the engine immediately, wait until
the cutting attachment stops, and check
the nut securing the attachment for
tightness and the head for cracks, wear
or other damage.
WARNING
A loose head may vibrate, crack, break
or come off the trimmer, which may
result in serious or fatal injury. Make
sure that the cutting attachment is
properly tightened. Use the wrench
supplied or one of sufficient length to
obtain the proper torque. If the head
loosens after being properly tightened,
stop work immediately. The retaining nut
may be worn or damaged and should be
replaced. If the blade or head continues
to loosen, see your STIHL dealer. Never
use a trimmer with a loose cutting
attachment.
WARNING
Replace a cracked, damaged or worn-
out head or a cracked, bent, warped,
damaged, dull or worn out blade
immediately, even if damage is limited to
superficial cracks. Such attachments
may shatter at high speed and cause
serious or fatal injury.
WARNING
If the head, blade or deflector becomes
clogged or stuck, always shut off the
engine and make sure the cutting
attachment has stopped before
cleaning. Grass, weeds, etc. should be
cleaned off the blade or from around the
head at regular intervals.
15m (50ft)
Inspect the work area: To
reduce the risk of injury,
remove stones, pieces of
metal and other solid
objects which could be
thrown 15 meters or more
by the cutting attachment
or damage the cutting
attachment or other prop-
erty (e.g. parked
vehicles, windows).
