Catalytic converter
!Warning!
Some STIHL power tools
are equipped with a
catalytic converter, which
is designed to reduce the
exhaust emissions of the
engine by a chemical
process in the muffler. Due to this
process, the muffler does not cool down
as rapidly as conventional mufflers when
the engine returns to idle or is shut off.
To reduce the risk of fire and burn
injuries, the following specific safety
precautions must be observed.
!Warning!
Since a muffler with a catalytic converter
cools down less rapidly than conven-
tional mufflers, 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
combustible materials while it is still hot.
!Warning!
An improperly mounted or damaged
cylinder housing or a damaged/
deformed muffler shell may interfere
with the cooling process of the catalytic
converter. To reduce the risk of fire or
burn injury, do not continue work with a
damaged or improperly mounted
cylinder housing or a damaged/
deformed muffler shell.
Your catalytic converter is furnished with
screens designed to reduce the risk of
fire from the emission of hot particles.
Due to the heat from the catalytic
reaction, these screens will normally
stay clean and need no service or
maintenance. If you experience loss of
performance and you suspect a clogged
screen, have your muffler maintained by
a STIHL servicing dealer.
USING THE CUTTING
ATTACHMENTS
For an illustration of the various cutting
attachments and instructions on proper
mounting see the chapter on "Mounting
the Cutting Attachments" in your
instruction manual.
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.
