Stihl FSA 90 R Instruction Manual - Page 13

DANGER Do not rely on the tool's insulation against electric shock. To reduce the risk of electrocution, never operate this power tool in the vicinity of any wires or cables (power, etc.) which may be carrying electric current. The power tool may be used in rain and wetness. Dry the power tool after finishing work. Do not leave the machine outdoors in the rain. Be particularly alert and cautious when wearing hearing protection because your ability to hear warnings (shouts, alarms, etc.) is restricted. USING THE CUTTING ATTACHMENT For instructions on proper mounting see the chapter on "Mounting the Cutting Attachment" in your instruction manual. Mowing heads are to be used only on trimmers equipped with a line-limiting blade in the deflector in order to keep the line at the proper length (see "Main Parts" chapter in your instruction manual.) Do not use with mowing line longer than the intended length. With a properly mounted deflector, the built-in linelimiting blade will automatically adjust the line to its proper length. Using the unit with an overly long nylon cutting line increases the load on the motor and reduces its operating speed. This results in overheating and damage to important components (e.g. polymer housing components.) WARNING To reduce the risk of serious injury, never use wire or metal-reinforced line or other material in place of the nylon cutting lines. Pieces of wire could break off and be thrown at high speed toward the operator or bystanders. STIHL AutoCut mowing head Nylon cutting cord advances automatically when tapped against the ground (TapAction). After Finishing Work Always clean dust and dirt off the power tool - do not use any grease solvents for this purpose. MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND STORING If you make a warranty claim for a component which has not been serviced or maintained properly or if nonapproved replacement parts were used, STIHL may deny coverage. WARNING Use only identical STIHL replacement parts for maintenance and repair. Use of non-STIHL parts may cause serious or fatal injury. Strictly follow the maintenance and repair instructions in the appropriate section of your instruction manual. Please also refer to the maintenance chart in this manual. English Always switch off the motor, move retaining latch to ƒ, remove the battery from the power tool and make sure that the cutting attachment is stopped before doing any maintenance or repair work, such as replacing the cutting attachment, or cleaning the power tool. This avoids the risk of the motor starting unintentionally. WARNING Do not attempt any maintenance or repair work not described in your instruction manual. Have such work performed by your STIHL servicing dealer only. WARNING Never repair damaged or broken heads. This may cause parts of the cutting attachment to come off and result in serious or fatal injuries. Tighten all nuts, bolts and screws after each use. Regularly check the electrical contacts and ensure that the insulation of the power cord and plug of the charger is in good condition and shows no sign of aging. Electrical components, e.g. power cord of charger, may only be repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician. Clean plastic components with a cloth. Do not use aggressive detergents. They may damage the plastic. FSA 90 R 11
