STIHL recommends that you have
servicing and repair work carried out
exclusively by an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer. STIHL dealers are
regularly given the opportunity to attend
training courses and are supplied with
the necessary technical information.
Only use high-quality replacement parts
in order to avoid the risk of accidents
and damage to the power tool. If you
have any questions in this respect,
consult a servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends the use of genuine
STIHL replacement parts. They are
specifically designed to match your
model and meet your performance
requirements.
To reduce the risk of injury,always shut
off the engine before carrying out any
maintenance or repairs or cleaning the
machine.
Do not use your power scythe during
other people's rest periods.
The power scythe is used at ground
level. As its blades operate like a mower
bar, the unit is ideal for cutting scrub,
thicket, reed, wild growth and hard
grasses. The power scythe is
particularly suitable for applications in
busy areas, such as traffic islands or
parks, because cuttings are not caught
and thrown by the blades.
Disposal
Do not throw cuttings into the garbage
can – they can be composted.
Preparations
N Set cutter bar to required angle.
N Remove the blade scabbard.
N Start the engine.
N Put on the shoulder strap.
N Attaching Machine to Shoulder
Strap
Working Technique
Working position and method are the
same as for a brushcutter: Sweep the
cutter bar to and fro in an arc just above
the ground.
