Allow only persons who understand this
manual to operate your power scythe
attachment.
To receive maximum performance and
satisfaction from your STIHL power
scythe attachment, it is important that
you read and understand the
maintenance and safety precautions,
starting on page 3, before using your
power scythe attachment.
Contact your STIHL dealer or the STIHL
distributor for your area if you do not
understand any of the instructions in this
manual.
!Warning!
Because a power scythe is a high-speed
cutting tool some special safety
precautions must be observed to reduce
the risk of personal injury.
Careless or improper use may cause
serious or even fatal injury.
STIHL's philosophy is to continually
improve all of its products. As a result,
engineering changes and improve-
ments are made from time to time. If the
operating characteristics or the
appearance of your power scythe
attachment differs from those described
in this manual, please contact your
STIHL dealer for information and
assistance.
