(US), EN 166 (Europe) or your
national standard.
■ To reduce the risk of hearing damage,
wear sound barriers (ear plugs or ear
muffs).
■ A cracked, damaged or worn out mow‐
ing head may shatter at high speeds
and cause serious or fatal injury. To
reduce risk of injury from broken parts,
check condition of trimmer and mowing
head before starting work and at regu‐
lar short intervals thereafter.
■ Some STIHL mowing heads have a
metal core. High-speed contact with
rock or other hard objects may create
sparks, which can ignite flammable
materials under certain circumstances.
Flammable materials include dry vege‐
tation and brush, particularly when
weather conditions are hot and dry.
When there is a risk of fire or wildfire,
do not use a mowing head with a metal
core around dry vegetation or brush.
Keep mowing lines in a water bath
between 12 hours and 24 hours before
use to increase their useful life.
