► make sure you have a firm and secure stance
► Hold your trimmer with both hands – right

tion and always on right side of your body.

objects or the ground
► Press down the starting lockout lever (1) and

14 Switching Off

► Release the trigger switch and starting lockout

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.

15 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 sup‐
ply:
► Wait about 3 minutes before switching on
again.
32
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 off load.
This helps cool the motor windings and con‐
siderably delays renewed tripping of the over‐
load cutout.

16 Storing the Machine

If not used for periods of about 30 days or longer
► Thoroughly clean the machine, especially the
ventilation slots
► Take out the spool with mowing lines and
engage the ends of the lines in the spool's
notches. Clean and inspect the spool.
The resilience and service life of the mowing line
can be increased by storing it in a container filled
with water.
► Store the machine in a dry and secure loca‐
tion. Keep out of the reach of children and
other unauthorized persons

17.1 Placing Power Tool on the
