However if you claim warranty coverage for a component which has not been serviced or maintained properly or if nonapproved replacement parts were used, STIHL may deny warranty. ! Warning! Use only identical STIHL replacement parts for maintenance and repair. Use of non-STIHL parts may cause serious or fatal injury. Follow the maintenance and repair instructions in the appropriate section of your owner's manual. Please refer to the maintenance chart on the last pages of this manual. ! Warning! Always stop the engine and make sure that the cutting tool is stopped before doing any maintenance or repair work or cleaning the clearing saw. Do not attempt any maintenance or repair work not described in your owner's manual. Have such work performed at your STIHL service shop only. Wear gloves when handling or doing maintenance on blade. ! Warning! Never repair damaged cutting attachments by welding, straightening or modifying the shape. This may cause parts of the cutting tool to come off and result in serious or fatal injuries. ! Warning! To reduce the risk of fire and burn injuries, check fuel filler cap for leaks at regular intervals. Use the specified spark plug and make sure it and the ignition lead are always clean and in good condition. Always press spark plug boot snugly onto spark plug boot of the proper size. (Note: If boot has detachable SAE adapter nut, it must be attached. ) A loose connection between spark plug boot and ignition wire connector in the boot may create arcing that could ignite combustible fumes and cause a fire. FS 300, FS 350, FS 400, FS 450, FS 480 English / USA ! Warning! Never test the ignition system with ignition wire boot removed from spark plug or with unseated spark plug, since uncontained sparking may cause a fire. ! Warning! Do not operate your clearing saw if the muffler is damaged, missing or modified. An improperly maintained muffler will increase the risk of fire and hearing loss. Never touch a hot muffler or burn will result. If your muffler was equipped with a spark-arresting screen to reduce the risk of fire (e.g. in the USA, Canada and Australia) , never operate your clearing saw if the screen is missing or damaged. Do not modify or remove any part of the muffler or spark arresting screen. Remember that the risk of forest fires is greater in hot or dry weather. Keep cutting tool sharp. Tighten all nuts, bolts and screws, except the carburetor adjustment screws, after each use. Additionally, the daily maintenance schedule for your clearing saw set forth in your STIHL Owner's Manual should be strictly followed. For any maintenance please refer to the maintenance chart and to the warranty statement near the end of this manual. Store clearing saw in a dry, high or locked location out of reach of children. Before storing for longer than a few days, always empty the fuel tank. See chapter "Storing the machine" . 002BA018 LA USING THE CUTTING TOOLS For an illustration of the various cutting tools and instructions on proper mounting see the chapter on "mounting the cutting tools" in your owner's manual. Using the mowing heads Do not use with mowing line longer than the intended diameter. With a properly mounted guard, the built-in cutter will automatically adjust the line to its proper length. Overly long lines can overload the engine, resulting in damage to the clutch mechanism and nearby parts. FS 300, FS 350, FS 400, FS 450, FS 480 English / USA 000BA015 KN A damaged clutch may cause a cutting attachment to rotate at idle speed and increase the risk of personal injury from loss of control and from contact with the cutting tool. The STIHL SuperCut, TrimCut, AutoCut and PolyCut mowing heads produce a clean and tidy finish. They are to be used only on brush- cutters equipped with a limiter blade in the deflector in order to keep the line at the proper length (see " Parts and Controls" chapter of this manual). If the lawn edges are planted with trees or bordered by a fence etc. , it is best to use a nylon line head. It achieves a "softer" cut with less risk of damaging tree bark etc. than with the polymer blades. However, the polymer bladed STIHL "PolyCut" produces a better cut if there are no plants along the edge of the lawn. Sharpening is not necessary and worn grass cutting blades are easily replaced. ! Warning! To reduce the risk of serious injury, never use wire or metal-reinforced line or other material in place of the nylon cutting lines. Pieces of wire could break off and be thrown at high speed toward the operator or bystanders. STIHL " SuperCut" mowing head Fresh line is advanced automatically.
