English / USA !Warning! Before you start work, examine the area for stones, glass, fence wire, metal, trash or other solid objects. The cutting attachment could throw objects of this kind. !Warning! This trimmer/brushcutter is normally to be used at ground level with the cutting attachment parallel to the ground. Use of a trimmer/brushcutter above ground level or with the cutting attachment perpendicular to the ground may increase the risk of injury, since the cutting attachment is more fully exposed and the power tool may be more difficult to control. !Warning! During cutting, check the tightness and the condition of the cutting attachment at regular short intervals with the engine and attachment stopped. If the behavior of the attachment changes during use, stop the engine immediately, wait until the cutting attachment stops, and check the nut securing the attachment for tightness and the blade or head for cracks, wear and damage. !Warning! A loose blade or head may vibrate, crack, break or come off the trimmer/ brushcutter, which may result in serious or fatal injury. Make sure that the cutting attachment is properly tightened. Use the wrench supplied or one of sufficient length to obtain the proper torque. If the blade or head loosens after being properly tightened, stop work immediately. The retaining nut may be worn or damaged and should be replaced. If the blade or head continues to loosen, see your STIHL dealer. Never use a trimmer/brushcutter with a loose cutting attachment. !Warning! Replace a cracked, damaged or wornout head or a cracked, bent, warped, damaged, dull or worn out blade immediately, even if damage is limited to superficial cracks. Such attachments may shatter at high speed and cause serious or fatal injury. !Warning! When using rigid blades, avoid cutting close to fences, sides of buildings, tree trunks, stones or other such objects that could cause the power tool to kick out or could cause damage to the blade. STIHL recommends use of the nylon line heads for such jobs. In addition, be alert to an increased possibility of ricochets in such situations. !Warning! If the head, blade or deflector becomes clogged or stuck, always shut off the engine and make sure the cutting attachment has stopped before cleaning. Grass, weeds, etc. should be cleaned off the blade or from around the head at regular intervals. !Warning! To reduce the risk of unintentional rotation of the cutting attachment and injury, always shut off the engine and remove the spark plug boot before replacing the cutting attachment. To reduce the risk of injury, always shut off the engine before adjusting the length of the nylon line on manually adjustable mowing heads. !Warning The gearbox becomes hot during operation. To reduce the risk of burn injury, do not touch the gear housing when it is hot. 12 FS 130, FS 130 R

metal, trash or other solid
objects. The cutting
attachment could throw
objects of this kind.

Warning!
This trimmer/brushcutter is normally to
be used at ground level with the cutting
attachment parallel to the ground. Use of
a trimmer/brushcutter above ground
level or with the cutting attachment
perpendicular to the ground may
increase the risk of injury, since the
cutting attachment is more fully exposed
and the power tool may be more difficult
to control.

During cutting, check the tightness and
the condition of the cutting attachment at
regular short intervals with the engine

of the
attachment changes during use,
stop the engine immediately, wait until
the cutting attachment stops, and check
the nut securing the attachment for
tightness and the blade or head for

Warning!
A loose blade or head may vibrate,
crack, break or come off the trimmer/
brushcutter, which may result in serious
