The terminology utilized in this manual
when referring to the power tool reflects
the fact that different types of cutting
attachments may be mounted on it. The
term "trimmer" is used to designate an
FS unit that is equipped with a nylon line
head or a head with flexible plastic
blades (i.e., the PolyCut head). A
"brushcutter" designates a unit
equipped with a rigid metal blade. Many
FS models may be used as either a
trimmer or a brushcutter – therefore, the
power tool is referred in this manual as a
"trimmer / brushcutter." Some smaller
and / or lightweight FS models may only
be used as a trimmer, i.e., they may not
be used with metal blades.
The term "clearing saw" indicates a
high-powered trimmer / brushcutter that
is particularly suited for use with a
circular saw blade to clear saplings or
small trees.
FS models with an "R" on the nameplate
were originally configured (at the time of
distribution) as a trimmer with a loop
handle.
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,
harness 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 FS model.
Have your STIHL dealer show you how
to operate your power tool. Observe all
applicable local safety regulations,
standards and ordinances.
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 or blade
comes in contact with your body, it will
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
and may cause blades to crack, chip or
break. Thrown objects, including broken
heads or blades, may result in serious or
fatal injury to the operator or bystanders.
STIHL does not recommend the use of
rigid blades when cutting in stony areas.
Use your trimmer / brushcutter equipped
with the appropriate cutting attachment
only for cutting grass, brush, wood 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.
Most of these safety precautions and
warnings apply to the use of all STIHL
trimmers / brushcutters. 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.
Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Because a trimmer /
brushcutter is a high-
speed, fast-cutting power
tool sometimes equipped
with sharp cutting blades,
special safety precau-
tions must be observed to
reduce the risk of per-
sonal 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.
