THE USE OF THE EDGER
Transporting the edger
!Warning!
Always turn off the engine and make
sure the cutting attachment has stop-
ped before putting an edger down.
When transporting your edger in a
vehicle, properly secure it to prevent
turnover, fuel spillage and damage to the
edger.
Preparation for the use of the edger
Adjust carrying harness and hand grip to
suit your size before starting work. The
machine should be properly balanced as
specified in your owner's manual for
proper control and less fatigue in
operation.
Always check your edger for proper
condition and operation before starting,
particularly the throttle trigger, throttle
trigger interlock (and if applicable stop
switch, cutting tool, deflector and
harness). An arrow on the deflector
shows the correct direction of rotation of
the cutting blade.
The deflector can be rotated to suit
working conditions. The arrow on the
deflector must always face away from
you, so that cuttings and other dedris will
be diverted away from the machine and
your position (see “Using the Edger“).
The throttle trigger must move freely and
always spring back in the idle position.
The cutting tool must be properly
tightened and in safe operating
condition. Inspect for loose parts (nuts,
screws, etc.) and for cracked, bent,
warped or damaged blades.
Fueling
Your STIHL edger uses an oil- gasoline
mixture for fuel. For further instructions
see the safety precautions and the
chapter on „Fuel“ of the owner’s manual
of the power tool.
!Warning!
Gasoline is an extremely
flammable fuel. If spilled
and ignited by a spark or
other ignition source, it
can cause fire and serious
burn injury or property
damage. Use extreme caution when
handling gasoline or fuel mix.
Do not smoke or bring any fire or flame
near the fuel or edger.
