15m (50ft)
To reduce the risk of eye and other injury
always wear proper eye protection (see
the chapter on "Proper Clothing") and
ensure that bystanders are at least
50 feet (15 m) away. To reduce the risk
of damage to property, also maintain this
distance from such objects as vehicles
or windows. Even maintaining a
minimum distance of 15 meters cannot
exclude the potential danger. Any
coworkers who must be in the restricted
area should also wear goggles or
protective glasses. Stop the motor
immediately if you are approached.
Never use metal
blades or rigid pol-
ymer blades on
this trimmer. Only
the listed cutting
attachments with
nylon lines are
authorized.

WARNING
Inspect the work area: To
reduce the risk of injury,
remove stones, pieces of
metal and other solid
objects which could be
thrown 50 feet (15 m) or
more by the cutting
attachment or damage
the cutting attachment
and property (e.g. parked
vehicles, windows).
WARNING
This trimmer is normally to be used at
ground level with the cutting attachment
parallel to the ground. Use of a trimmer
above ground level or with the cutting
attachment perpendicular to the ground
may increase the risk of injury, since the
cutting attachment is more fully exposed
and the power tool may be more difficult
to control.
WARNING
During cutting, check the tightness and
the condition of the cutting attachment at
regular short intervals with the motor
and attachment stopped, the retaining
latch set to ƒ and the battery removed.
If the behavior of the attachment
changes during use, switch off the motor
immediately, wait until the cutting
attachment stops, set the retaining latch
to ƒ, remove the battery and check the
nut securing the attachment for
tightness and the attachment for cracks,
wear and damage.
WARNING
A loose head may vibrate, crack, break
or come off the trimmer, which may
result in serious or fatal injury. Make
sure that the cutting attachment is
properly tightened. If the head loosens
after being properly tightened, stop work
immediately. The retaining nut may be
worn or damaged and should be
replaced. If the head continues to
loosen, see your STIHL dealer. Never
use a trimmer with a loose cutting
attachment.
WARNING
Replace a cracked, damaged or worn-
out head immediately, even if damage is
limited to superficial cracks. Such
attachments may shatter at high speed
and cause serious or fatal injury.
WARNING
If the head or deflector becomes
clogged or stuck, always switch off the
motor, move the retaining latch to ƒ,
remove the battery and make sure the
cutting attachment has stopped before
cleaning. Grass, weeds, etc. should be
cleaned from around the head at regular
intervals.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of unintentional
rotation of the cutting attachment and
injury, always switch off the motor, move
retaining latch to ƒ and remove the
battery before replacing the cutting
attachment.
