Safety Precautions and Working Techniques English / USA Warning! Because a trimmer is a high-speed, fast-cutting power tool, special safety precautions must be observed to reduce the risk of personal injury. It is important that you read, fully understand and observe the following safety precautions and warnings. Read the owner's manual and the safety instructions periodically. Careless or improper use of any trimmer may cause serious or fatal injury. Have your STIHL dealer show you how to operate your trimmer. Observe all applicable local safety regulations, standards and ordinances. !Warning! Do not lend or rent your trimmer without the owner's manual. Be sure that anyone using your trimmer understands the information contained in this manual. !Warning! The use of any trimmer may be hazardous. If the rotating cutting tool comes in contact with your body, it will cut you. When it comes in contact with solid foreign objects such as rocks or bits of metal, it may fling them directly or by ricochet in the direction of bystanders or the operator. Striking such objects could damage the cutting tool. Thrown objects or damaged cutting tools may result in serious or fatal injury to the operator or bystanders. !Warning! Minors should never be allowed to use a trimmer. Bystanders, especially children, and animals should not be allowed in the area where a trimmer is in use. Never let the trimmer run unattended. Most of these safety precautions and warnings apply to the use of all STIHL trimmers. Different models may have different parts and controls. See the appropriate section of your owner's manual for a description of the controls and function of the parts of your model trimmer. Safe use of a trimmer involves 1. the operator 2. the trimmer 3. the use of the trimmer. THE OPERATOR!
