Warning!
When you pull the starter grip, do not
wrap the starter rope around your hand.
Do not let the grip snap back, but guide
the starter rope to rewind it properly.
Failure to follow this procedure may
result in injury to your hand or fingers
and may damage the starter
mechanism.
Important Adjustments
Warning!
To reduce the risk of personal injury
from loss of control or contact with the
running cutting attachment, do not use
your unit with incorrect idle adjustment.
At correct idle speed, the cutting attach-
ment should not move. For directions on
how to adjust idle speed, see the appro-
priate section of your instruction
manual.
If you cannot set the correct idle speed,
have your STIHL dealer check your
power tool and make proper
adjustments and repairs.
Warning!
This unit is equipped with an ignition
system that is normally in operational
readiness. After the setting lever is used
to stop the engine, it automatically
springs back to the "on" position. If the
engine is warm, it may be possible to
start it by simply pulling the starter rope,
with no further adjustments. To reduce
the risk of injury, be particularly alert to
keep children away from the unit.

During Operation
Holding and Controlling the Power Tool
Always hold the unit firmly with both
hands on the handles while you are
working. Wrap your fingers and thumbs
around the handles, keeping the
handles cradled between your thumb
and forefinger. Keep your hands in this
position to have your power tool under
control at all times. Make sure your
trimmer handles and grips are in good
condition and free of moisture, pitch, oil,
fuel mix or grease.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of
control, never work on a ladder or on
any other insecure support. Never hold
the cutting attachment above waist
height.
Warning!
Never attempt to operate
your power tool with one
hand. Loss of control of
the power tool resulting
in serious or fatal injury
may result. To reduce
the risk of cut injuries, keep hands and
feet away from the cutting attachment.
Never touch a moving cutting attach-
ment with your hand or any other part of
your body.
Warning!
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Special care
must be taken in slippery conditions
(wet ground, snow) and in difficult, over-
grown terrain. Watch for hidden
obstacles such as tree stumps, roots
and ditches to avoid stumbling. For bet-
ter footing, clear away scrub and
cuttings. Be extremely cautious when
working on slopes or uneven ground.
Working Conditions
Operate and start your power tool only
outdoors in a well ventilated area.
Operate it under good visibility and
daylight conditions only. Work carefully.
