Accessories and replacement
parts
Only use cutting attachments
and accessories that are
explicitly approved for this
power tool by STIHL or are
technically identical. If you
have any questions in this
respect, consult a STIHL
dealer. Use only high-quality
parts and accessories.

STIHL recommends the use
of genuine STIHL tools and
accessories. They are
specifically designed to match
the product and meet your
performance requirements.
Never attempt to modify your

property caused while using
unauthorized attachments.
Applications

grass, overgrowth and similar
materials.

the increased risk of accidents
