Safety Precautions English / USA Warning! Because an edger 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. Save this owner's manual and read the safety instructions periodically. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment. Know how to stop the unit and disengage the controls quickly. Careless or improper use of any edger may cause serious or fatal injury. Have your STIHL dealer show you how to operate your edger. Observe all applicable local safety regulations, standards and ordinances. !Warning! The use of any edger 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 attachment and may cause blades to crack, chip or break. Thrown objects or damaged blades may result in serious or fatal injury to the operator or bystanders. !Warning! Minors should never be allowed to use an edger. Bystanders, especially children and animals should not be allowed in the area where an edger is in use. Never let the edger run unattended. !Warning! Do not lend or rent your edger without the owner's manual. Be sure that anyone using your edger understands the information contained in this manual. Most of these safety precautions and warnings apply to the use of all STIHL edgers. Different models may have different parts and controls.
