trimmer parts see the chapter on "Parts
and Controls"

:DUQLQJ

Never modify a trimmer in any way. Only
attachments supplied by STIHL or 
expressly approved by STIHL for use
with the specific STIHL trimmer models
are authorized. Although certain un-
authorized attachments are useable for
the STIHL trimmer, their use may, in fact,
be extremely dangerous.

:DUQLQJ

Improper use of any
trimmer can cause
serious or fatal 
personal injury.

Read and understand all safety 
instructions in your owner’s manual 
before use and follow them carefully. To
reduce the risk of injury to operator from
blade contact, metal blades may be
used on FS-trimmers equipped with a
bicycle, "J" handle or loop handle with
barrier bar and not on those FS- and 
FE-models with a loop handle.
Never use any metal cutting attachment
on a FS-model that has a flexible shaft.

Always turn off the engine and make 
sure the cutting attachment has stop-
ped before putting a trimmer down.
When transporting your trimmer in 
a vehicle, properly secure it to prevent
turnover, fuel spillage and damage to
the trimmer.

Adjust hand grip according to 
instructions in the ownder’s manual to
suit your size before starting work.

Always check your trimmer for proper
condition and operation before starting,
particularly the throttle trigger, throttle
trigger interlock (if applicable), stop
switch, cutting tool, and deflector. 

Arrows on the deflector 

$

 show the 

correct direction of rotation of the cutting
tool.

The throttle trigger must move freely 
and always spring back to the idle 
position.The cutting tool must be 
properly tightened and in safe operating
condition. Inspect for loose parts (nuts, 
screws, etc.).

Your STIHL trimmer uses an oil-gasoline
mixture for fuel (see the chapter on
"Fuel" of your owner’s manual).
