Using The Unit - Stihl FC-MM Instruction Manual

English
MultiEngine instruction manuals. Have
all other work performed by a servicing
dealer.
STIHL recommends that you have
servicing and repair work carried out
exclusively by an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer. STIHL dealers are
regularly given the opportunity to attend
training courses and are supplied with
the necessary technical information.
Only use high-quality replacement parts
in order to avoid the risk of accidents
and damage to the power tool. If you
have any questions in this respect,
consult a servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends the use of original
STIHL replacement parts. They are
specifically designed to match your
model and meet your performance
requirements.
To reduce the risk of injury, always shut
off the engine before carrying out any
maintenance or repairs or cleaning the
machine.

Using the Unit

Your FC-MM power edger MultiTool is
designed to produce sharp contoured
edges around lawns. It will cut almost all
types of grass, weeds and soft green
plants.
Preparations
If the soil is very dry, spray it with water
before you start work: this softens the
soil a little and also reduces the amount
of dust created. Slightly damp green
plants are easier to cut.
WARNING
Clear away all obstacles and solid
objects from the work area.
Plan the best route for edging.
N
Operate the MultiEngine with FC-MM
edger in the forward direction only.
The blade may only be mounted and
operated in one position. Arrows on the
blade show the required direction of
rotation – see chapter on "Mounting the
MultiTool".
WARNING
Never work without the deflector!
The deflector ensures that cuttings and
other debris are directed away from the
machine and operator.
