6 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ Loss of control and severe cut injuries may
result if hair, clothing or apparel make contact
with the moving cutting attachment or other‐
wise become entangled in the components of
the trimmer / brushcutter. To reduce the risk of
severe personal injury:
► Wear sturdy and snug-fitting clothing
that also allows complete freedom of
movement.
► Wear overalls or long pants made of
heavy material to help protect your
legs. Do not wear shorts.
► Avoid loose-fitting jackets, scarves, neck‐
ties, flared or cuffed pants, jewelry and any
other apparel that could be caught on
branches, brush or the moving cutting
attachment.
► Secure hair above shoulder level before
starting work.
■ To reduce the risk of eye injury:
► Always wear goggles or close-fitting
protective glasses with adequate
side protection that are impact-rated
and marked as complying with
CSA Z94.
► If there is a risk of facial injury, STIHL rec‐
ommends that you also wear a face shield
or face screen over your goggles or protec‐
tive glasses. When working with a metal
cutting attachment, always wear a face
shield.
■ To reduce the risk of head injury:
► Wear an approved protective helmet when
there is a risk of head injury.
■ Prolonged exposure to power tool noise may
result in permanent hearing damage. To
reduce the risk of hearing damage:
► Wear sound barriers (ear plugs or
ear muffs).
► Regular operators should have their
hearing checked periodically.
► Be particularly alert and cautious
when using hearing protection. Your
ability to hear shouts, alarms or
other audible warnings is restricted.
■ Good footing is very important. To help main‐
tain a secure footing and reduce the risk of
injury while working:
► Wear substantial footwear with non-
slip soles. Do not wear sandals, flip-
flops, open-toed or similar footwear.
When working with a metal cutting
attachment, wear steel-toed safety
boots.

6.5 Trimmer / Brushcutter
WARNING
■ To reduce the risk of electric shock:
► Do not immerse the power tool in water or
other fluids.
► Store the power tool indoors.
■ If the moving cutting attachment contacts you,
it will result in serious laceration injuries. To
reduce the risk of such injuries:
► Keep hands, feet and other parts of your
body away from the cutting attachment.
► Never touch the moving cutting attachment
with your hand or any other part of your
body.
► Never operate the trimmer / brushcutter
with a damaged or missing deflector.
■ To reduce the risk of personal injury to the
operator and bystanders from blade or line
contact and thrown objects:
► Make sure your unit is equipped with
the proper deflector, handle and har‐
ness for the type of cutting attach‐
ment being used. Keep the deflector
and the attached skirt, where appro‐
priate, properly adjusted at all times.
► Use of some cutting attachments will
require you to change the deflector, barrier
bar and/or harness. See chapter
this manual for approved cutting attach‐
ment, deflector, handle and harness config‐
urations.
■ To reduce the risk of personal injury to the
operator and bystanders:
► Always release the trigger switch
and remove the battery before
assembling, transporting, adjusting,
inspecting, cleaning, servicing, main‐
taining or storing the trimmer / brush‐
cutter, and any other time it is not in
use.
► Never leave the power tool unattended
when the battery is inserted.
■ Although certain unauthorized attachments
may fit your STIHL trimmer / brushcutter, their
use may be extremely dangerous. Only
attachments supplied by STIHL or expressly
approved by STIHL for use with this specific
model are recommended.
