!Warning!
Never modify this power tool in any way.
Only attachments supplied by STIHL

unauthorized attachments are useable
with STIHL power tools, their use may, in
fact, be extremely dangerous. For the
cutting attachments authorized by
STIHL for your unit, see the chapter
“Approved Combinations of Cutting
Attachment, Deflector, Handle and
Harness“ in the instruction manual or the
STIHL “Power Tools and Accessories“
catalog.
If this tool is subjected to unusually high
loads for which it was not designed (e.g.
heavy impact or a fall), always check
that it is in good condition before
continuing work. Check in particular that
the fuel system is tight (no leaks) and
that the controls and safety devices are
working properly. Do not continue
operating this machine if it is damaged.
In case of doubt, have it checked by your
STIHL servicing dealer.
THE USE OF THE POWER TOOL

the cutting attachment moving.
It may be carried only in a horizontal

the machine is balanced horizontally.
Keep the hot muffler away from your
body and the cutting attachment behind
you.
