N Make sure you have a secure and
balanced footing.
N Hold your trimmer with both hands –
right hand on the control handle –
left hand on the loop handle.
N Stand upright – hold the trimmer in a
relaxed position and always on right
side of your body.
N The cutting attachment must not
touch the ground or any other
objects.
N Press down the starting lockout
lever (1) and hold it in that position.
N Squeeze the trigger switch (2).
N Release the trigger switch and
starting lockout lever.
WARNING
Note that the cutting attachment
continues to run for a short period after
you let go of the throttle trigger and
starting lockout lever – flywheel effect.
During longer work breaks – disconnect
the plug from the power supply.
When the machine is not in use, shut it
off so that it does not endanger others.
Secure it against unauthorized use.
STIHL FSE 71 and FSE 81 electric
trimmers are equipped with an overload
cutout.
The overload cut out cuts off the power
supply in case of mechanical or thermal
overload.
If the overload cutout has cut off the
power supply:
N Wait about 3 minutes before
switching on again.
Do not switch on the unit during this
period because you will otherwise
prolong the required cooling time.
Once the motor starts:
N Run the unit for about 15 seconds
off load. This helps cool the motor
windings and considerably delays
renewed tripping of the overload
cutout.
