Because a trimmer is a
high-speed, fast-cutting
power tool, special safety
precautions must be observed to reduce
the risk of personal injury.
It is important that you
read, fully understand
and observe the following
safety precautions and
warnings. Read the owner’s manual
and the safety instructions periodically.
Careless or improper use of any trimmer
may cause serious or fatal injury.
Have your STIHL dealer show you how
to operate your trimmer. Observe all
applicable local safety regulations,
standards and ordinances.

The use of any trimmer may be
hazardous. If the rotating cutting tool
comes in contact with your body, it will
cut you. When it comes in contact with
solid foreign objects such as rocks or
bits of metal, it may fling them directly or
by ricochet in the direction of bystanders
or the operator. Striking such objects
could damage the cutting attachment.
Thrown objects or damaged cutting tools
may result in serious or fatal injury to the
operator or bystanders.

Minors should never be allowed to
use a trimmer. Bystanders, especially
children, and animals should not be
allowed in the area where a trimmer
is in use.
Never let the trimmer run unattended.

Do not lend or rent your trimmer without
the owner’s manual. Be sure that any-
one using your trimmer understands the
information contained in this manual.
Most of these safety precautions and
warnings apply to the use of all STIHL
trimmers. Different models may have
different parts and controls. See the
appropriate section of your owner’s
manual for a description of the controls
and function of the parts of your model
trimmer.
Safe use of a trimmer involves
1. the operator
2. the trimmer
3. the use of the trimmer.

influence of any substance (drugs,
alcohol, etc.) which might impair vision,
dexterity or judgment. Do not operate a
trimmer when you are fatigued.
Be alert - if you get tired while operating
your trimmer, take a break.
Tiredness may result in loss of control.
Working with any trimmer can be strenu-
ous. If you have any condition that might
be aggravated by strenuous work, check
with your doctor before operating a trim-
mer.

Prolonged use of a trimmer (or other
machines) exposing the operator to
vibrations may produce whitefinger
disease (Raynaud’s phenomenon) or
carpal tunnel syndrome. These condi-
tions reduce the hand’s ability to feel
and regulate temperature, produce
numb-ness and burning sensations and
may cause nerve and circulation dama-
ge and tissue necrosis.
All factors which contribute to whitefinger
disease are not known, but cold weather,
smoking and diseases or physical condi-
tions that affect blood vessels and blood
transport, as well as high vibration levels
and long periods of exposure to vibration
are mentioned as factors in the develop-
