!Warning!
Never touch a rotating cutting tool with
your hand or any part of your body. The
tool continues to rotate for a short period
after the throttle trigger is released
(flywheel effect).
Important adjustments
!Warning!
To reduce the risk of personal injury from
loss of control or contact with the
running cutting tool, do not use a cutting
tool with incorrect idle adjustment. At
correct idle speed, the cutting tool
should not move. For directions on how
to adjust idle speed, see the appropriate
section of the owner's manual of the
power tool.
If you cannot set the correct idle speed,
have your STIHL dealer check your
edger and make proper adjustments and
repairs.
MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND
STORING
STIHL may refuse to acknowledge a
warranty claim if the component has
not been handled or serviced
correctly or if unauthorized spare
parts have been used.
!Warning!
Use only identical STIHL replacement
parts for maintenance and repair. Use of
non-STIHL parts may cause serious or
fatal injury.
Follow the maintenance and repair
instructions in the appropriate section of
your owner's manual. Please refer to the
maintenance chart on the last pages of
this manual.
Additionally, the daily maintenance
schedule for your power tool set forth in
your STIHL Owner's Manual should be
strictly followed.
!Warning!
Always stop the engine and make sure
that the tool is stopped before doing any
maintenance or repair work or cleaning
the power tool. Do not attempt any
maintenance or repair work not
described in your owner's manual. Have
such work performed at your STIHL
dealer only.
Wear gloves when working on the
attachment.
!Warning!
Never repair damaged tools by welding,
straightening or modifying the shape.
This may cause parts of the tool to come
off and result in serious or fatal injuries.
Tighten all nuts, bolts and screws,
except the carburetor adjustment
screws, after each use.
Store the attachment in a dry and high or
locked location out of reach of children.
Before storing for longer than a few
days, always empty the fuel tank. See
chapter “Storing the machine” in the
basic power tool manual.
