Allow only persons who understand this 
manual to operate your edger. 

To receive maximum performance and 
satisfaction from your STIHL edger, it is 
important that you read and understand 
the maintenance and safety precautions, 
starting on page 3,  before using your 
edger.

Contact your STIHL dealer or the STIHL 
distributor for your area if you do not 
understand any of the instructions in this 
manual.

!

Warning!

Because an edger is a high-speed 
cutting tool some special safety 
precautions must be observed to reduce 
the risk of personal injury. 

Careless or improper use may cause 
serious or even fatal injury. Make sure 
your unit is equipped with the proper 
deflector and handle for the type of 
cutting attachment being used. Always 
wear proper eye protection.

STIHL's philosophy is to continually 
improve all of its products. As a result, 
engineering changes and improve-
ments are made from time to time. If  the 
operating characteristics or the appear-
ance of your edger differs from those 
described in this manual, please contact 
your STIHL dealer for information and 
assistance.
