Stihl FS 460 C-M Manual De Instrucciones página 15

WARNING
Some STIHL power tools
are equipped with a cata -
lytic converter, which is
designed to reduce the
exhaust emissions of the
engine by a chemical pro -
cess in the muffler. Due
to this process, the muf -
fler does not cool down
as rapidly as conven -
tional mufflers when the
engine returns to idle or
is shut off. To reduce the
risk of fire and burn inju -
ries when using a
catalytic converter,
always set your power
tool down in the upright
position and never locate
it where the muffler is
near dry brush, grass,
wood chips or other com -
bustible materials while it
is still hot.
USING THE CUTTING ATTACHMENT
For an illustration of the various cutting
attachments and instructions on proper
mounting see the chapter on "Mounting
the Cutting Attachment" in your
instruction manual.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of severe or fatal
injury from blade contact and / or loss of
control, never attempt to use a metal
blade on an FS model for which it is not
authorized.

Using the Mowing Heads
Do not use with mowing line longer than
the intended length. With a properly
mounted deflector, the built-in line-
limiting blade will automatically adjust
the line to its proper length.
Using the unit with an overly long nylon
cutting line increases the load on the
engine and reduces its operating speed.
This causes the clutch to slip
continuously and results in overheating
and damage to important components
(e.g. clutch, polymer housing
components). Such damage could,
among other things, cause the cutting
attachment to rotate at idle.
Mowing heads are to be used only on
clearing saws equipped with a line-
limiting blade in the deflector in order to
keep the line at the proper length (see
"Main Parts" chapter in your instruction
manual).
If the lawn edges are planted with trees
or bordered by a fence etc., it is best to
use a nylon line head. It achieves a
"softer" cut with less risk of damaging
tree bark etc. than polymer blades.
However, the polymer-bladed STIHL
PolyCut produces a better cut if there
are no plants along the edge of the lawn.
Sharpening is not necessary, and worn
polymer blades are easily replaced.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury,
never use wire or metal-reinforced line
or other material in place of the nylon
cutting lines. Pieces of wire could break
off and be thrown at high speed toward
the operator or bystanders.
STIHL SuperCut mowing head
Fresh line is advanced automatically.
Frayed line is replaced by a simple
adjustment (see instruction sheet
supplied with mowing head).
STIHL AutoCut mowing head
Nylon cutting line advances
automatically when tapped against the
ground (TapAction).
STIHL TrimCut mowing head
Frayed line is replaced by a simple
adjustment (see instruction sheet
supplied with mowing head).
STIHL DuroCut mowing head
Uses only nylon lines.
Observe wear indicators.
NOTICE
There are four wear limit indicators
shaped like exclamation marks in the
base of the DuroCut. If one of these
