Overload Cutout
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:
Wait about 3 minutes before
N
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:
Run the unit for about 15 seconds
N
off load. This helps cool the motor
windings and considerably delays
renewed tripping of the overload
cutout.
