English / USA Do not use an edger with incorrect idle speed adjustment. You may adjust the idle speed yourself according to the instructions in your manual. If you cannot set the correct idle speed, have your STIHL dealer check your edger and make proper adjustments or repairs. Operating instructions Use only for edging in grass, weeds and soft green plants. !Warning! During operation, follow all safety precautions mentioned in the important safety precaution section of this manual. Improper use of any edger can cause serious or fatal personal injury. In order to reduce risk of eye injury always wear proper eye protection and operate product from position where guards or deflector blocks the line of sight to the cutting tool. Stop the engine whenever you leave the operating position. Maintenance, Repair and Storing Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices and systems may be performed by any nonroad engine repair establishment or individual. However if you claim warranty for a component which has not been serviced or maintained properly or if nonapproved replacement parts were used, STIHL may deny warranty. Use only identical STIHL replacement parts for maintenance and repair. Use of parts manufactured by others 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 at the last pages of this manual. !Warning! Always stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug lead and make sure that the cutting tool is stopped before doing any maintenance or repair work or cleaning the edger. Keep lead away from spark plug to reduce the risk of unintentional starting. Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine is running (except where specifically recommended in this manual). Do not attempt any maintenance or repair work not described in your owner's manual. Have such work performed at your STIHL service shop only. Do not modify the engine governor or overspeed the engine. Never repair damaged cutting attachments by welding, straightening or modifying the shape. This may cause parts of the cutting tool to come off and result in serious or fatal injuries. Check condition of cutting tool at regular short intervals. If behavior of tool changes, check it immediately for tightness or any signs of cracks in particular. Replace damaged or dull cutting tools immediately, even if they have only superficial cracks. Check fuel filler cap for leaks at regular intervals. Use the specified spark plug and make sure it and the ignition lead are always in good condition. 12 FC 75
