Warning!
During cutting, check the tightness and
the condition of the cutting tool at
regular intervals. If the behavior of the
tool changes, stop the engine im-
mediately, and check the nut securing
the tool for tightness and the cutting
tool for cracks and damage. Replace
damaged cutting tools immediately.
Such tools may shatter at high speed
and cause serious or fatal injury.
!
Warning!
Keep hands and feet
away from cutting tool.
Never touch a rotating
cutting tool with your hand
or any part of your body. It
continues to rotate for a
short period after the throttle trigger is
released (flywheel effect).

Important adjustments
!
Warning!
To reduce the risk of personal injury from
loss of control or contact with the
running cutting tool, do not use a cutting
tool with incorrect idle adjustment.
At correct idle speed, the cutting tool
should not move. For directions on how
to adjust idle speed, see the appropriate
section of your owner's manual.
If you cannot set the correct idle speed,
have your STIHL dealer check your
trimmer and make proper adjustments
and repairs.

STORING
Maintenance, replacement, or repair
of the emission control devices and

properly or if non-approved replace-
ment parts were used, STIHL may
deny warranty.

Warning!
Use only STIHL replacement parts for

Use of non-STIHL parts may cause
