precautions, starting on page 3, before

Careless or improper use may cause 
serious or even fatal injury. 
Make sure your unit is equipped with the

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 
appearance of your attachment differs 
from those described in this Manual, 
please contact your STIHL dealer for 
information and assistance.
