5 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

4.3 Deflector for Metal Cutting Attachments

The following symbols may be found on deflectors designed

for use with metal cutting attachments:

5.1 Introduction

WARNING

￭ Use of this machine may be hazardous. If the rotating line

or blade comes in contact with your body, it will cut you.

When it comes in contact with solid foreign objects such

as rocks, glass or bits of metal, it may throw or fling them

directly or by ricochet in the direction of bystanders or the

operator. Striking such objects could damage the cutting

attachment and may cause blades to crack, chip or break.

Thrown objects, including broken heads or blades, may

result in serious or fatal injury to the operator or

bystanders. As more fully explained later in this manual,

to reduce the risk of personal injury:

– Make sure your unit is equipped with the proper

handle, harness and deflector for the type of cutting

attachment you are using.

– Use only cutting attachments that are specifically

authorized by STIHL for use on your trimmer model.

￭ Do not lend or rent your trimmer without the instruction

manual. Be sure that anyone using it understands the

information contained in this manual. Have your dealer

show you how to operate your trimmer. Observe all

applicable laws, regulations, standards and ordinances.
