English / USA THE USE OF THE TRIMMER Transporting the trimmer !Warning! Always turn off the engine and make sure the cutting attachment has stopped before putting a trimmer down. When transporting your trimmer in a vehicle, properly secure it to prevent turnover, fuel spillage and damage to the trimmer. 234BA004KN Preparation for the use of the trimmer Adjust hand grip according to instructions in the owner's manual to suit your size before starting work. Always check your trimmer for proper condition and operation before starting, particularly the throttle trigger, throttle trigger interlock (if applicable), stop switch, cutting tool, and deflector. Arrows on the deflector show the correct direction of rotation of the cutting tool. The throttle trigger must move freely and always spring back to the idle position. The cutting tool must be properly tightened and in safe operating condition. Inspect for loose parts (nuts, screws, etc.). Fueling Your STIHL trimmer uses an oil-gasoline mixture for fuel (see the chapter on "Fuel" of your owner's manual). !Warning! Gasoline is an extremely flammable fuel. If spilled and ignited by a spark or other ignition source, it can cause fire and serious burn injury or property damage. Use extreme caution when handling gasoline or fuel mix. Do not smoke or bring any fire or flame near the fuel or trimmer. Fueling Instructions !Warning! Fuel your trimmer in well-ventilated areas, outdoors. Always shut off the engine and allow it to cool before refueling. Gasoline vapor pressure may build up inside the gas tank depending on the fuel used, the weather conditions, and the venting system of the tank. In order to reduce the risk of burns and other personal injury from escaping gas vapor and fumes, remove the fuel filler cap on your trimmer carefully so as to allow any pressure build-up in the tank to release slowly. Never remove fuel filler cap while engine is running. 6 FS 75
