English / USA !Warning! An improperly mounted or damaged cylinder housing or a damaged/ deformed muffler shell may interfere with the cooling effect of the catalytic converter. To reduce the risk of fire or burn injury, do not continue work with a damaged or improperly mounted cylinder housing or a damaged/ deformed muffler shell. Your catalytic converter is furnished with screens designed to reduce the risk of fire from the emission of hot particles. Due to the heat from the catalytic reaction, these screens will normally stay clean and need no service or maintenance. If you experience loss of performance and you suspect a clogged screen, have your muffler maintained by a STIHL Servicing Dealer. Working Conditions Operate and start your trimmer only outdoors in a ventilated area. Operate the trimmer under good visibility and daylight conditions only. Work carefully. !Warning! Your trimmer produces toxic exhaust fumes as soon as the engine is running. These gases (e.g. carbon monoxide) may be colorless and odorless. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury from inhaling toxic fumes, never run the trimmer indoors or in poorly ventilated locations. !Warning! Use of this product can generate dust and fumes containing chemicals known to cause respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. If you are unfamiliar with the risks associated with the particular dust or fume at issue, consult your employer, governmental agencies such as OSHA and NIOSH, and other sources on hazardous materials. California and some other authorities, for instance, have published lists of substances known to cause cancer, reproductive toxicity, etc. Control dust and fumes at the source where possible. In this regard use good work practices and follow the recommendations of OSHA/NIOSH and occupational and trade associations. When the inhalation of toxic dust and fumes cannot be eliminated, the operator and any bystanders should always wear a respirator approved by NIOSH / MSHA for the type of dust and / or fumes encountered." !Warning! The muffler and other parts of the engine (e.g. fins of the cylinder, spark plug) become hot during operation and remain hot for a while after stopping the engine. To reduce risk of burns do not touch the muffler and other parts while they are hot. Do not cut any material other than weed or similar soft vegetation. The cutting tools may be used only for the operations described in your manual. FS 75 9
