SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS!
Warning!
Because your trimmer is a
high-speed, fast-cutting
electric power tool,
special safety precautions
must be observed to
reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock and personal injury.
It is important that you
read, fully understand and
observe the following
safety precautions and
warnings. Save this
owner's manual and read
the safety instructions periodically. Be
thoroughly familiar with the controls and
the proper use of the equipment. Know
how to stop the unit and disengage the
controls quickly.
Careless or improper use of any trimmer
may cause serious or fatal injury. Have
your STIHL dealer show you how to
operate your electric trimmer. Observe
all applicable local safety regulations,
standards and ordinances.

Warning!
Do not lend or rent your trimmer without
the owner's manual. Be sure that
anyone using your trimmer understands
the information contained in this manual.
!
Warning!
The use of any trimmer may be
hazardous. If the rotating cutting tool
comes in contact with your body, it will
cut you. When it comes in contact with
solid foreign objects such as rocks or
bits of metal, it may fling them directly or
by ricochet in the direction of bystanders
or the operator. Striking such objects
could also damage the cutting
attachment. Thrown objects or damaged
cutting tools may result in serious or fatal
injury to the operator or bystanders.
!
Warning!
Minors should never be allowed to use
an electric trimmer. Bystanders,
especially children, and animals should
not be allowed in the area where a
power trimmer is in use.
Never let the trimmer run unattended.
Most of these safety precautions and
warnings apply to the use of all STIHL
electric trimmers. Different models may
have different parts and controls. See
the appropriate section of your owner's
manual for a description of the controls
and function of the parts of your model
electric trimmer.
Safe use of an electric trimmer involves
