5 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
– Switch off the motor immediately if you are
approached while working with the trimmer /
brushcutter.
￭ Your trimmer / brushcutter is equipped with a deflector. To
reduce the risk of personal injury from thrown objects and
contact with the cutting attachment:
– Never operate the trimmer / brushcutter
with a damaged or missing deflector.
– The cutting attachment and deflector
must be an approved combination.
– Keep the deflector properly adjusted at
all times.
￭ Use of wire, metal-reinforced line or other non-approved
cutting attachments is not authorized and could be
extremely dangerous.
– Never use wire or metal-reinforced line on this
trimmer / brushcutter. Use only the cutting
attachments listed in this manual, in combination
with the listed deflector. See Combinations of
Deflectors and Cutting Attachments, @ 25.
￭ To reduce the risk of severe personal injuries from
unintentional starting:
– Never touch the cutting attachment or
mowing head with your hand, feet or any
other part of your body while the power
tool is connected to a battery, even when
the cutting attachment is not moving.
Keep bystanders at least 50 ft. (15 m)
away.
– Switch off the motor and remove the
connecting cord from the trimmer /
brushcutter before inspecting a mowing
head, cutting attachment or deflector.
Clean dirt, grass, weeds and other
material from the mowing head or blade
and deflector at regular intervals, but
only after unplugging the connecting
cord.

￭ A damaged or loose cutting attachment may vibrate,
crack, break or come off during operation, which may
result in serious or fatal injury.
– Make sure the cutting attachment is properly
tightened before starting work.
– Check the tightness and condition of the cutting
attachment before starting work and any time cutting
behavior changes during use. Always switch off the
motor, wait for the cutting attachment to stop and
remove the connecting cord before inspecting the
trimmer / brushcutter, its cutting attachment or
battery.
– If the cutting attachment loosens after being properly
tightened, stop work immediately and have the unit
inspected by your authorized STIHL servicing
dealer.
￭ A cracked, damaged or worn out cutting attachment may
shatter at high speeds and cause serious or fatal injury.
– Replace a cracked, damaged or worn out mowing
head or a cracked, bent, warped, damaged, dull or
worn out blade immediately, even if damage
appears to be limited to superficial cracks.
– Never use a trimmer / brushcutter with a loose or
damaged cutting attachment.
DANGER
￭ To reduce risk of electrocution:
– Never operate this trimmer in the vicinity
of any wires or cables that may be
carrying electric current. Look carefully
for concealed wires before starting work.

against electric shock, even when
holding the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces.
