6 IMPORTANT SAFETY

6.1 Introduction
WARNING

tion of bystanders or the operator. Striking
such objects could damage the cutting attach‐
ment and may cause blades to crack, chip or
break. Thrown objects, including broken heads
or blades, may result in serious or fatal injury
to the operator or bystanders. As more fully

cifically authorized by STIHL for use on
your trimmer model.
