17.1 Transporting the Trimmer / Brushcutter

WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of control and blade or
line contact, never carry or transport your trimmer /
brushcutter with the cutting attachment moving, @ 5.7.5.
Ensure the cutting attachment has stopped before setting
the power tool down, @ 5.7.5.
WARNING
If a metal cutting attachment is mounted, STIHL
recommends attaching an appropriate transport
guard (special accessory) to help reduce the risk of cut
injuries from inadvertent contact. Remove the transport
guard before starting work.
When transporting the trimmer / brushcutter:
► When transporting the trimmer / brushcutter by hand, hold
the drive tube so that the unit remains parallel to the
ground. Keep the cutting attachment pointing backwards,
opposite the direction in which you are walking.
► When transporting the trimmer / brushcutter in a vehicle,
secure and position it to prevent turnover, impact and
damage.
