WARNING

As more fully explained later in these

Safety Precautions, to reduce the risk of

personal injury, make sure your unit is

equipped with the proper handle,

harness and deflector. Use only cutting

attachments that are specifically

authorized by STIHL for use on your FC

model.

Have your STIHL dealer show you how

to operate your power tool. Observe all

applicable local safety regulations,

standards and ordinances.

WARNING

Do not lend or rent your power tool

without the instruction manual. Be sure

that anyone using it understands the

information contained in this manual.

WARNING

The use of this machine may be

hazardous. If the rotating blade 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, including broken

blades, may result in serious or fatal

injury to the operator or bystanders.

Use your edger only for edging in grass,

weeds and soft green plants.

WARNING

Do not use it for other purposes, since

misuse may result in personal injury or

property damage, including damage to

the machine.

WARNING

Minors should never be allowed to use

this power tool. Bystanders, especially

children, and animals should not be

allowed in the area where it is in use.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury to bystanders

and damage to property, never let your

power tool run unattended. When it is

not in use (e.g. during a work break),

shut it off and make sure that

unauthorized persons do not use it.

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 instruction

manual for a description of the controls

and function of the parts of your model.

Safe use of an edger involves

1. the operator

2. the power tool

3. the use of the power tool.

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

this machine when you are fatigued.

WARNING

Be alert – if you get tired, take a break.

Tiredness may result in loss of control.

Working with any power tool can be

strenuous. If you have any condition that

might be aggravated by strenuous work,

check with your doctor before operating

this machine.

WARNING

Prolonged use of a power tool (or other

machines) exposing the operator to

vibrations may produce whitefinger

disease (Raynaud's phenomenon) or

carpal tunnel syndrome.

Safety Precautions and

Working Techniques

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. Read the

instruction manual and

the safety precautions

periodically. Careless or

improper use may cause

serious or fatal injury.

FC 56 C

English

These conditions 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

whitefinger 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 machine 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. A power tool with loose

components or with damaged or

worn AV elements will tend to have

higher vibration levels.

–Maintain a firm grip at all times, but

do not squeeze the handles with

constant, excessive pressure. 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 closely monitor the

condition of their hands and fingers. If

any of the above symptoms appear,

seek medical advice immediately.

WARNING

The ignition system of the STIHL 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 a pacemaker should

consult their physician and the

pacemaker manufacturer before

operating this tool.

Proper Clothing

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury, the operator

should wear proper protective apparel.

The deflector provided with your power

tool will not protect the operator from all

foreign objects (gravel, glass, wire, etc.)

thrown back by the rotating cutting

attachment. Thrown objects may also

ricochet and strike the operator.

WARNING

Be particularly alert and cautious when

wearing hearing protection because

your ability to hear warnings (shouts,

alarms, etc.) is restricted.

To reduce the risk of

injury to your eyes never

operate your power tool

unless wearing goggles

or properly fitted protec-

tive glasses with

adequate top and side

protection complying with

ANSI Z87 "+" (or your

applicable national stand-

ard). If there is a risk of

injury to the operator´s

face, STIHL also recom-

mends that you also wear

a face shield or face

screen over your gog-

gles or protective

glasses.

Power tool 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.

FC 56 C

English

Avoid loose-fitting jackets, scarfs,

neckties, jewelry, flared or cuffed pants,

unconfined long hair or anything that

could become caught on branches,

brush or the moving parts of the unit.

Secure hair so it is above shoulder level.

THE POWER TOOL

For illustrations and definitions of the

power tool parts see the chapter on

"Main Parts."

WARNING

Never modify this power tool in any way.

Only attachments supplied by STIHL

and expressly approved by STIHL for

use with the specific STIHL model are

authorized. Although certain

unauthorized attachments are useable

with STIHL power tools, their use may,

in fact, be extremely dangerous.

If this tool is subjected to unusually high

loads for which it was not designed (e.g.

heavy impact or a fall), always check

that it is in good condition before

continuing work. Check in particular that

the fuel system is tight (no leaks) and

that the controls and safety devices are

working properly. Do not continue

operating this machine if it is damaged.

In case of doubt, have it checked by your

STIHL servicing dealer.

THE USE OF THE POWER TOOL

Transporting the Power Tool

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury from loss of

control and blade contact, never carry or

transport your power tool with the cutting

attachment moving.

It may be carried only in a horizontal

position. Grip the shaft in a manner that

the machine is balanced horizontally.

Keep the hot muffler away from your

body and the cutting attachment behind

you.

WARNING

Always shut off the engine and make

sure that the cutting attachment has

stopped before putting an edger down.

When transporting it in a vehicle,

properly secure it to prevent turnover,

fuel spillage and damage to the unit.

Fuel

Your STIHL power tool uses an oil-

gasoline mixture for fuel (see the

chapter on "Fuel" of your instruction

manual.)

Always wear heavy duty

work gloves (e.g. made of

leather or other wear

resistant material) when

handling the machine

and metal blades. Heavy-

duty, nonslip gloves

improve your grip and

help to protect your

hands.

Clothing must be sturdy

and snug-fitting, but allow

complete freedom of

movement. Wear long

pants made of heavy

material to help protect

your legs. Do not wear

shorts, sandals or go

barefoot.

Good footing is very

important. Wear sturdy

boots with nonslip soles.

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.

WARNING

Fueling Instructions

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury from

burns, never attempt to refuel the unit

until it has been completely removed

from the operator.

WARNING

Fuel your power tool in well-ventilated

areas, outdoors. Always shut off the

engine and allow it to cool before

refueling. Gasoline vapor pressure may

build up inside the fuel tank depending

on the fuel used, the weather conditions

and the tank venting system.

In order to reduce the risk of burns and

other personal injury from escaping gas

vapor and fumes, remove the fuel filler

cap on your power tool carefully so as to

allow any pressure build-up in the tank

to release slowly. Never remove the fuel

filler cap while the engine is running.

Select bare ground for fueling and move

at least 10 feet (3 m) from the fueling

spot before starting the engine. Wipe off

any spilled fuel before starting your

machine.

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.

Different models may be equipped with

different fuel caps.

Toolless cap with grip

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 raised positioning

marks on the grip of the cap and on the

fuel tank opening lining up. Using the

grip, press the cap down firmly while

turning it clockwise as far as it will go

(approx. 1/4 turn).

Misaligned, damaged or broken cap

NIf the cap does not drop fully into the

opening when the positioning marks

line up and/or if the cap does not

tighten properly when twisted, the

base of the cap may be prematurely

rotated (vis-à-vis the top) to the

closed position. Such misalignment

can result from handling, cleaning

or an improper attempt at

tightening.

Gasoline is an extremely

flammable fuel. If spilled

and ignited by a spark or

other ignition source, it

can cause fire and seri-

ous 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 or the power

tool. Note that combusti-

ble fuel vapor may

escape from the fuel

system.

Check for fuel leakage

while refueling and during

operation. If fuel leakage

is found, do not start or

run the engine until the

leak is fixed and any

spilled fuel has been

wiped away. Take care

not to get fuel on your

clothing. If this happens,

change your clothing

immediately.

001BA220 KN

Fold the grip flush with

the top of the cap. Grip

the cap and check for

tightness. If the grip does

not lie completely flush

with the cap and the

detent on the grip does

not fit in the correspond-

ing recess in the filler

opening, or if the cap is

loose in the filler opening,

the cap is not properly

seated and tightened and

you must repeat the

above steps.

FC 56 C

English

NTo return the cap to the open

position for installation, turn the cap

(with the grip up) until it drops fully

into the tank opening. Next, twist the

cap counterclockwise as far as it will

go (approx. 1/4 turn) – this will twist

the base of the cap into the correct

position. Then, twist the cap

clockwise, closing it normally.

NIf your cap still does not tighten

properly, it may be damaged or

broken; immediately stop use of the

unit and take it to your authorized

STIHL dealer for repair.

WARNING

See also the "Fueling" chapter in your

Instruction Manual for additional

information.

Before Starting

WARNING

Always check your power tool for proper

condition and operation before starting,

particularly the throttle trigger, throttle

trigger lockout, stop switch, cutting

blade, deflector and harness. The

throttle trigger must move freely and

always spring back to the idle position.

Never attempt to modify the controls or

safety devices. Never use a power tool

that is damaged or not properly

maintained.

WARNING

Check fuel system for leaks, especially

the visible parts, e.g., filler cap, hose

connections, manual fuel pump (only for

power tools equipped with a manual fuel

pump). Do not start the engine if there

are leaks or damage – risk of fire! Have

the machine repaired by a servicing

dealer before using it.

WARNING

Do not attach any cutting attachment to

a unit without proper installation of all

required parts. Failure to use the proper

parts may cause the blade to fly off and

seriously injure the operator or

bystanders.

WARNING

The cutting attachment must be properly

tightened and in safe operating

condition. Inspect for loose parts (nuts,

screws, etc.) and for cracked, bent,

warped or damaged blades. Replace

damaged blades before using the power

tool.

Keep the handles clean and dry at all

times; it is particularly important to keep

them free of moisture, pitch, oil, fuel mix,

grease or resin in order for you to

maintain a firm grip and properly control

your power tool.

WARNING

Check that the spark plug boot is

securely mounted on the spark plug – a

loose boot may cause arcing that could

ignite combustible fumes and cause a

fire.

Left: Base of cap in closed posi-

tion (with open space)

Right: Base of cap correctly posi-

tioned for installation

001BA227 KN

001BA226 KN

Unit vibrations can cause

an improperly tightened

fuel filler cap to loosen or

come off and spill quanti-

ties of fuel. In order to

reduce the risk of fuel

spillage and fire, tighten

the fuel filler cap by hand

as securely as possible.

FC 56 C

English

WARNING

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 debris will be diverted away from

the machine and your position (see

chapter "Working Techniques".)

Adjust carrying harness and hand grip to

suit your size before starting work. The

machine should be properly balanced as

specified in your instruction manual for

proper control and less fatigue in

operation. To be better prepared in case

of an emergency, practise releasing the

unit from the harness as quickly as

possible.

Starting

WARNING

Start the engine at least 10 feet (3 m)

from the fueling spot, outdoors only.

For specific starting instructions, see the

appropriate section of your manual.

Place the power tool on firm ground or

other solid surface in an open area.

Maintain good balance and secure

footing.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury from blade

contact, be absolutely sure that the

cutting attachment 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 move the cutting

attachment.

Once the engine has started,

immediately blip the throttle trigger,

which should release the starting throttle

and allow the engine to slow down to

idle.

With the engine running only at idle,

attach the power tool to the spring hook

of your harness (see appropriate

chapter of this manual.)

WARNING

Your power tool is a one-person

machine. Do not allow other persons in

the general work area, even when

starting.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury from loss of

control, do not attempt to "drop start"

your power tool.

WARNING

When you pull the starter grip, do not

wrap the starter rope around your hand.

Do not let the grip snap back, but guide

the starter rope to rewind it properly.

Failure to follow this procedure may

result in injury to your hand or fingers

and may damage the starter

mechanism.

Important Adjustments

WARNING

To reduce the risk of personal injury

from loss of control or contact with the

running cutting attachment, do not use

your unit with incorrect idle adjustment.

At correct idle speed, the cutting

attachment should not move. For

directions on how to adjust idle speed,

see the appropriate section of your

instruction manual.

If you cannot set the correct idle speed,

have your STIHL dealer check your

power tool and make proper

adjustments and repairs.

WARNING

This unit is equipped with an ignition

system that is normally in operational

readiness. After the setting lever is used

to stop the engine, it automatically

springs back to the "on" position. If the

engine is warm, it may be possible to

start it by simply pulling the starter rope,

To reduce the risk

of personal injury

to the operator

from blade con-

tact and thrown

objects, make sure

your unit is

equipped with the

proper deflector,

handle and

harness.
