Guide to Using this Manual

3FC 110

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 child-

ren 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 any-

one 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. See the

appropriate section of your owner's

manual for a description of the controls

and function of the parts of your model

edger.

Safe use of an edger involves

1. the operator

2. the edger

3. the use of the edger.

Save these instruction !

THE OPERATOR!

Physical Condition

You must be in good physical condition

and mental health and not under the

influence of any substance (drugs,

alcohol, etc.) which might impair vision,

dexterity or judgment. Do not operate an

edger when you are fatigued.

Be alert - if you get tired while operating

your edger, take a break.

Tiredness may result in loss of control.

Working with any edger can be

strenuous. If you have any condition that

might be aggravated by strenuous work,

check with your doctor before operating

an edger.

Safety Precautions

English / USA

FC 110

!Warning!

Prolonged use of an edger (or other

machines) exposing the operator to

vibrations may produce whitefinger

disease (Raynaud's phenomenon) or

carpal tunnel syndrome. These con-

ditions reduce the hand's ability to feel

and regulate temperature, produce

numbness and burning sensations and

may cause nerve and circulation

damage and tissue necrosis.

All factors which contribute to white-

finger disease are not known, but cold

weather, smoking and diseases or

physical conditions that affect blood

vessels and blood transport, as well as

high vibration levels and long periods of

exposure to vibration are mentioned as

factors in the development of whitefinger

disease. In order to reduce the risk of

whitefinger disease and carpal tunnel

syndrome, please note the following:

:Most STIHL power tools are

available with an anti-vibration

("AV") system designed to reduce

the transmission of vibrations

created by the engine to the

operator's hands. An AV system is

recommended for those persons

using power tools on a regular or

sustained basis.

:Wear gloves and keep your hands

warm.

:Keep the AV system well

maintained. An edger with loose

components or with damaged or

worn AV buffers will tend to have

higher vibration levels.

:Maintain a firm grip at all times, but

do not squeeze the handles with

constant, excessive pressures, take

frequent breaks.

All the above mentioned precautions do

not guarantee that you will not sustain

whitefinger disease or carpal tunnel

syndrome. Therefore continual and

regular users should monitor closely the

condition of their hands and fingers. If

any of the above symptoms appear,

seek medical advice immediately.

!Warning!

The ignition system of your unit

produces an electromagnetic field of a

very low intensity. This field may

interfere with some pacemakers. To

reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury,

persons with pacemaker should consult

their physician and the pacemaker

manufacturer before operating this tool.

Proper Clothing

!Warning!

Edger operation can

cause serious injury to

eyes, ears and person.

The deflector and skirt

provided with your edger

may not protect the

operator from all foreign objects (gravel,

glass, wire, etc.) thrown by the rotating

cutting attachment. Thrown objects may

also ricochet and strike the operator. To

reduce the risk of injury to your eyes

never operate an edger unless wearing

goggles or properly fitted safety glasses

with adequate top and side protection

complying with ANSI Z 87.1 (or your

applicable national standard).

To reduce the risk of injury to your face

STIHL recommends that you also wear

a face shield or face screen over your

goggles or safety glasses.

5FC 110

English / USA

!Warning!

Edger noise may damage

your hearing. Wear sound

barriers (ear plugs or ear

mufflers) to protect your

hearing. Continual and

regular users should have

their hearing checked regularly.

Wear proper protective clothing.

Protect your hands with

gloves when handling the

edger and the cutting tool.

Heavy-duty, nonslip

gloves improve your grip

and protect your hands.

Clothing must be sturdy

and snug-fitting, but allow

complete freedom of

movement. Avoid loose-

fitting jackets, scarfs,

neckties, jewelry, flared or

cuffed pants, unconfined long hair or

anything that could become caught on

branches, brush or moving parts of the

unit. Wear long pants made of heavy

material to protect your legs. Do not

wear shorts.

Good footing is most

important in edger work.

Wear sturdy boots with

nonslip soles. Do not

operate edger when

barefoot or wearing open

sandals. Steel-toed safety boots are

recommended.

Wear an approved safety

hard hat to reduce the risk

of injury to your head

when there is a danger of

head injuries.

THE EDGER

For illustrations and definitions of the

edger parts see the chapter on

“Parts and Controls“!

!Warning!

Never modify an edger in any way.

Only attachments supplied by STIHL or

expressly approved by STIHL for use

with the specific STIHL edger models

are authorized. Although certain un-

authorized attachments are useable for

the STIHL edger, their use may, in fact,

be extremely dangerous.

THE USE OF THE EDGER

Transporting the edger

!Warning!

Always turn off the engine and make

sure the cutting attachment has stopped

before putting an edger down. When

transporting your edger in a vehicle,

properly secure it to prevent turnover,

fuel spillage and damage to the edger.

English / USA

FC 110

Preparation for the use of the edger

Adjust carrying harness and hand grip to

suit your size before starting work.

The machine should be properly

balanced as specified in your owner's

manual for proper control and less

fatigue in operation.

Always check your edger for proper

condition and operation before starting,

particularly the throttle trigger, throttle

trigger interlock (and if applicable, stop

switch, cutting tool, deflector and

harness). An arrow on the deflector

shows the correct direction of rotation of

the cutting blade.

The arrow on the deflector must always

face away from you, so that cuttings and

other dedris will be diverted away from

the machine and your position (see

chapter "Operating Instructions").

The throttle trigger must move freely and

always spring back to the idle position.

The cutting tool must be properly

tightened and in safe operating

condition. Inspect for loose parts (nuts,

screws, etc.) and for cracked, bent,

warped or damaged blades.

Fueling

Your STIHL edger uses an oil-gasoline

mixture for fuel (see the chapter on

“Fuel“ of your owner's manual).

!Warning!

Gasoline is an extremely

flammable fuel. If spilled

or ignited by a spark or

other ignition source, it

can cause fire and serious

burn injury or property

damage. Use extreme caution when

handling gasoline or fuel mix.

Do not smoke or bring any fire or flame

near the fuel.

Fueling Instructions

Fuel your edger in well-ventilated areas,

outdoors. Use a fuel container

acceptable for the purpose.

!Warning!

Never attempt to fuel a running or hot

engine. Gasoline vapor pressure may

build up inside the gas tank depending

on the fuel used, the weather conditions,

and the venting system of the tank. In

order to reduce the risk of burns or other

personal injury from escaping gas vapor

and fumes, remove the fuel filler cap on

your edger carefully so as to allow any

pressure build-up in the tank to release

slowly. Never remove fuel filler cap while

engine is running.

Select bare ground for fueling and move

at least 10 feet (3 m) from the fueling

spot before starting the engine.

Replace fuel filler cap securely and

check for tightness.

Wipe off any spilled fuel before starting

your edger and check for leakage.

245BA002 KN

7FC 110

English / USA

!Warning!

Check for fuel leakage while refueling

and during operation. If fuel or oil

leakage is found, do not start or run the

engine until leak is fixed and spilled fuel

has been wiped away.

Move at least 10 feet (3 m) from spot of

leakage before starting. Take care not to

get fuel on your clothing. If this happens,

change your clothing immediately.

The fuel filler cap may differ on different

models.

Cap with Grip

!Warning!

In order to reduce the risk of fuel spillage

and fire from an improperly tightened

fuel cap, correctly position and tighten

the fuel cap in the fuel tank opening.

To do this with this STIHL

cap, raise the grip on the

top of the cap until it is

upright at a 90° angle.

Insert the cap in the fuel

tank opening with the

triangular marks on the grip of the cap

and on the fuel tank opening lining up.

Using the grip, turn the cap firmly

clockwise as far as it will go (approx. a

quarter turn).

Fold the grip flush with the

top of the cap. If the grip

does not lie completely

flush with the cap and the

detent on the grip does

not fit in the

corresponding recess in the filler neck,

the cap is not properly seated and

tightened and you must repeat the

above steps.

Screw Cap

!Warning!

IUnit vibrations can cause

an improperly tightened

fuel filler cap to loosen or

come off and spill

quantities of fuel. In order

to reduce the risk of fuel

spillage and fire, tighten the fuel filler cap

by hand with as much force as possible.

To avoid fires, the filler cap must be

screwed down as tightly as possible

after refueling. If the filler cap has a slot,

the screwdriver end of the STIHL

combination wrench or a similar tool can

be used to tighten down the cap.

Starting

!Warning!

Your edger is a one-person machine.

English / USA

FC 110

Once started, it may fling foreign objects

for a great distance.

To reduce the risk of eye and other injury

insure that bystanders are at least

50 feet (15 m) away. Stop the engine

and cutting tool immediately if you are

approached.

Start and operate your edger without

assistance. For specific starting

instructions, see the appropriate section

of your manual.

Place the edger on firm ground or other

solid surface in an open area. Maintain a

good balance and secure footing.

To reduce the risk of injury from loss of

control, be absolutely sure that the

cutting tool is clear of you and all other

obstructions and objects, including the

ground, because when the engine starts

at starting-throttle, engine speed will be

fast enough for the clutch to engage and

turn the cutting tool.

When you pull the starter grip, don't

wrap the starter rope around your hand.

Do not allow the grip to snap back, but

guide the starter rope to rewind properly.

Failure to follow this procedure may

result in injury to hand or fingers and

may damage the starter mechanism.

Working Conditions

Operate and start your edger only

outdoors in a well ventilated area.

!Warning!

Your edger produces toxic

exhaust fumes as soon as

the engine is running.

These gases (e.g.

carbonmonoxide) may be

colourless and odourless.

To reduce the risk of serious or fatal

injury from inhaling toxic fumes, never

run the edger indoors or in poorly

ventilated locations.

!Warning!

Use of this product can generate dust

and fumes containing chemicals known

to cause respiratory disease, cancer,

birth defects, or other reproductive

harm. If you are unfamiliar with the risks

associated with the particular dust or

fume at issue, consult your employer,

governmental agencies such as OSHA

and NIOSH and other sources on

hazardous materials. California and

some other authorities, for instance,

have published lists of substances

known to cause cancer, reproductive

toxicity, etc.

Control dust and fumes at the source

where possible. In this regard use good

work practices and follow the

recommendations of OSHA/NIOSH and

occupational and trade associations.

When the inhalation of toxic dust and

fumes cannot be eliminated, the

operator and any bystanders should

always wear a respirator approved by

NIOSH/MSHA for the type of dust and /

or fumes encountered.

15m (50ft)

9FC 110

English / USA

Operate the edger under good visibility

and daylight conditions only. Work

carefully.

Always hold the edger firmly with both

hands. Wrap your fingers tightly around

the handles, keeping the handles

cradled between your thumb and

forefinger. Keep your hands in this

position to have your edger under

control at all times.

Make sure your edger handles and grip

are in good condition and free of

moisture, pitch, oil or grease.

!Warning!

Never attempt to operate any edger with

one hand. Loss of control of the edger

resulting in serious or fatal injury may

result.

Special care must be taken in slippery

conditions (wet ground, snow) and in

difficult, over-grown terrain. Watch for

hidden obstacles such as tree stumps,

roots and ditches to avoid stumbling.

Stay alert for uneven side walks, holes in

terrain or other similiar conditions when

using your edger. Always push slowly

over rough ground. Do not abuse your

edger.

!Warning!

Before cutting, inspect

and clear the area of

stones, glass, pieces of

metal, trash or other solid

objects. The cutting

attachment could throw

objects of this kind and cause personal

injury.

Do not use edger on gravel surfaces.

!Warning!

Never divert discharge of material

toward bystanders nor allow anyone

near the area of operation. Use care in

directing discharge to avoid glass

enclosures, automobiles, and the like.

!Warning!

To reduce the risk

of injury from

thrown objects and

blade contact,

never operate an

edger without properly mounted

deflector and skirt. Do not overreach.

Keep proper footing and balance at all

times.

!Warning!

To reduce the risk of injury

from blade contact, keep

hands and feet away from

cutting area.

!Warning!

This edger is normally to be used at

ground level with the cutting attachment

perpendicular to the ground. Use of an

edger above ground level or with the

cutting attachment parallel to the ground

may increase the risk of injury, since the

cutting attachment is more fully exposed

and the edger may be more difficult to

control. Never use your edger as a

hedge trimmer.
