Before Starting Work
Check the unit
Check that your machine is in safe
operating condition – refer to appropriate
sections in the User Manual:
–The starting lockout lever and
trigger switch must move freely –
the switch must return to the idle
position when it is released.
–Use only an approved combination
of cutting attachment, deflector,
handle and carrying strap. All parts
must be assembled properly and
securely. To reduce the risk of
injury, never use metal cutting
attachments!
–Check that the cutting attachment is
properly and securely mounted and
in good condition.
–Check safety devices (e.g.,
deflector for cutting attachments) for
damage and/or wear. Always
replace damaged parts. Never
operate the unit with a damaged
deflector
–Keep the handles dry, clean and
free from dirt, for safe control of the
power tool
–Adjust handle to suit your height and
reach.
To reduce the risk of accidents and
personal injury, do not operate the unit if
it is not in proper condition!
Only operate the unit if all of its
components are undamaged and
securely mounted.
Never attempt to modify the controls or
safety devices.
Before switching on your power tool,
make sure the cutting attachment is not
touching the ground or any other object.
Electrical connection.
Reduce the risk of electric shock:
–Voltage and frequency of the
machine (see rating plate) and the
voltage and frequency of your
power supply must be the same.
–Examine the connecting cord,
power plug and extension cord for
damage. Damaged cords,
couplings and plugs or connecting
cords that do not comply with the
regulations must not be used
–Always connect the engine analyzer
to a properly installed wall outlet.
–Check that the insulation of the
connection cable, extension cord,
plug and coupling is in good
condition.
–Never touch the power plug, power
cord and extension cord, and
electrical plug connections with wet
hands.
–Any extension cords used must
comply with the specifications for
the particular application
Position the connection cable and
extension cord correctly:
–Check minimum cross section of
wires (wire gauge) – see
"Connecting to Power Supply".
–To reduce the risk of stumbling,
position and mark the connecting
cord so that it cannot be damaged
or endanger others.
–Using unsuitable extension cords
can be dangerous. Only use
extension cords that are approved
for outdoor use, are appropriately
labeled and have a sufficient cable
cross-section.
–The plug and coupling of the
extension cord must be water-proof
and must never be immersed in
water.
–Do not allow cord to rub on edges or
pointed or sharp objects.
–don't trap or squeeze the cord in or
under doors or windows
–If cords are twisted – unplug the
power tool and straighten them out
–Never touch the rotating cutting
attachment
–Always unwind the extension cord
completely from the cable reel to
reduce the risk of fire from
overheating.
Holding and Guiding the Tool
Always hold the tool firmly with both
hands on the handles. Make sure you
always have a firm and secure footing.
Always hold the machine on the right-
hand side of your body.
Avoid contact with the
cutting attachment – risk
of injury!
Note that the cutting
attachment continues to
run for a short period
after the power tool is
switched off – flywheel
effect.

FSE 60

Left hand on loop handle, right hand on
control handle, even if you are left-
handed.
While Working
Avoid damage to the power supply cord.
Do not drive over it, pinch or tug it.
Never jerk the connecting cord to
disconnect it from the wall outlet. To
unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
The power cord and power plug must
never be touched with wet hands.
Never spray water on the unit – risk of
short circuit!
Do not leave the unit outdoors in the
rain.
In case of imminent danger or in an
emergency, switch off the motor
immediately – release the trigger switch
and starting lockout.
Your power tool is designed to be
operated by one person only. Do not
allow other persons in the work area.
There is a risk of accident from ejected
objects within a wide area around the
working space, so you must ensure that
there is no-one within a 15 m radius of
the machine. This distance must also be
maintained in relation to objects
(vehicles, window panes) – risk of
property damage! Even at distances
beyond 15 m, the danger cannot be
ruled out.
Never work without protection suitable
for the respective machine and cutting
tool – risk of injury from ejected objects!
Do not cut wet grass.
Take care in slippery conditions on
slopes and uneven ground.
Keep the connecting cord behind the
power tool at all times – do not walk
backwards – risk of stumbling.
Watch out for obstacles: Tree stumps,
roots – risk of tripping or stumbling!
Only work while standing on the ground,
never on a ladder, work platform or other
unstable surface.
Be particularly alert and cautious when
wearing hearing protection because
your ability to hear warnings (shouts,
alarms, etc.) is restricted.
Take breaks when you start getting tired
or feeling fatigue – risk of accidents!
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight
conditions and only when visibility is
good. Proceed with caution, do not put
others in danger.
Be particularly careful when working on
difficult, densely grown terrain.
When mowing in high bushes, under
shrubbery and hedges: Hold the cutting
tool at a working height of at least 15 cm
– to avoid risks to animals.
Check the cutting tool regularly at
frequent intervals, and immediately if
you notice a change in its behavior:
–Switch off the tool, hold it firmly and
press the cutting attachment into
the ground to bring it to a standstill,
and disconnect the plug from the
power supply.
–Check condition and tightness of
connections, look out for fine cracks
If the power cord is dam-
aged, immediately
disconnect the plug from
the wall outlet to avoid
the risk of electric shock.
The drive motor is not
waterproof. To reduce
the risk of a short circuit
or electrocution, never
work with the power tool
in the rain or in wet or
very damp locations.

Check the work site –
rocks, metal objects etc.
could get caught up and
ejected – potentially
beyond a distance of
15 m – risk of injury! Such
objects can also damage
the cutting attachment
and other property (e.g.
parked vehicles,
windows).

–Immediately replace defective
cutting tools, also in the event of
minor hairline cracks
–Clean grass and plant residue off
the cutting attachment mounting at
regular intervals – remove any
accumulated material from the
cutting attachment and deflector.
Always switch off the tool and unplug it
from the power supply before replacing
the cutting attachment. Risk of injury
from the motor starting unintentionally!
Do not continue using or attempt to
repair damaged or cracked cutting
attachments by means of welding,
straightening or modifying the shape
(unbalanced).
Particles or pieces may come off and hit
the operator or a bystander at a high
speed – risk of most severe injuries!
If a rotating cutting attachment touches a
rock or another hard object, sparks may
be generated which may possibly ignite
combustible materials. Dried-out plants
and undergrowth are combustible,
especially in hot and dry weather. If
there is a risk of fire, do not use cutting
attachments in the vicinity of
combustible materials, dried-out plants
or brushwood. It is mandatory that you
ask the responsible forestry office about
current fire hazards.
Only use the deflector with properly
mounted blade that ensures the mowing
line is restricted to the permissible
length.
To reduce the risk of injury, avoid
contact with the blade.
To reduce the risk of injury, always
switch off the tool and unplug it from the
power supply before manually adjusting
the mowing line.
Misuse with mowing lines that are too
long reduces the working speed of the
engine. This results in overheating and
damage to the motor.
To reduce the risk of injury, never use
wire in place of the nylon cutting line.
If the unit is subjected to unusual stress
for which it was not designed (e.g.,
heavy impact or a fall), always check
that it is in safe operating condition
before continuing work – see also
"Before Starting Work". Make sure the
safety devices are working properly. Do
not continue operating your machine if it
is damaged. In case of doubt, contact a
dealer.
Before leaving the machine unattended:
Turn it off and disconnect the mains
plug.
Vibrations
Prolonged use of the power tool may
result in vibration-induced circulation
problems in the hands (whitefinger
disease).
No general recommendation can be
given for the length of usage because it
depends on several factors.
The period of usage is prolonged by:
–Hand protection (wearing warm
gloves)
–Work breaks
The period of usage is shortened by:
–Any personal tendency to suffer
from poor circulation (symptoms:
frequently cold fingers, tingling
sensations).
–Low outside temperatures.
–The force with which the handles
are held (a tight grip restricts
circulation).
Continual and regular users should
monitor closely the condition of their
hands and fingers. If any of the above
symptoms appear (e.g. tingling
sensation in fingers), seek medical
advice.
Maintenance and Repairs
Always switch off the machine and
disconnect the plug from the power
supply before carrying out any
maintenance work to reduce the risk of
injury from the motor starting
unintentionally.
Service the machine regularly. Do not
attempt any maintenance or repair work
not described in the instruction manual.
Have all other work performed by a
servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends that you have
servicing and repair work carried out
exclusively by an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer. STIHL dealers are
regularly given the opportunity to attend
training courses and are supplied with
the necessary technical information.

may only be repaired or replaced by a
qualified electrician.
Clean plastic components with a cloth.
Do not use aggressive detergents. They
may damage the plastic.
Do not spray the machine with water.
Check tightness of mounting screws on
safety devices and the cutting
attachment and retighten if necessary.
Clean cooling air inlets in motor housing
as necessary.
