English / USA !Warning! Never repair damaged cutting tools 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. !Warning! 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. If the tool loosens after being properly tightened, the retaining nut may be worn or damaged and should be replaced. If the tool continues to loosen, see your STIHL dealer. !Warning! To reduce the risk of fire and burn injuries, check fuel filler cap for leaks at regular intervals. Use the specified spark plug and make sure it and the ignition lead are always clean and in good condition. !Warning! Never test the ignition system with ignition wire terminal removed from spark plug or with unseated spark plug, since uncontained sparking may cause a fire. !Warning! To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury, use only spark plugs authorized by STIHL. Always press spark plug boot snugly onto spark plug terminal of the proper size. (Note: If terminal has detachable SAE adapter nut, it must be attached.) A loose connection between spark plug terminal and ignition wire connector in the boot may create arcing that could ignite combustible fumes and cause a fire. Keep spark plug clean, and make sure ignition lead is in good condition. !Warning! Do not operate your trimmer if the muffler is damaged, missing or modified. An improperly maintained muffler will increase the risk of fire and hearing loss. Never touch a hot muffler or burn will result. If your muffler was equipped with a spark-arresting screen to reduce the risk of fire, never operate your trimmer if the screen is missing or damaged. Do not modify or remove any part of the muffler or spark arresting screen. Remember that the risk of forest fires is greater in hot or dry weather. Tighten all nuts, bolts and screws, except the carburetor adjustment screws, after each use. Additionally, the daily maintenance schedule for your trimmer set forth in your STIHL Owner's Manual should be strictly followed. For any maintenance please refer to the maintenance chart and to the warranty statement near the end of this manual. Store trimmer in a dry, high or locked location out of reach of children. Before storing for longer than a few days, always empty the fuel tank. 12 FS 75
