    A free cutter is a machine that has to be carried out with care anyway. If it does not work properly, there is a risk of injury.

    The power tool manufacturer Stihl calls certain gears and freest cutters in which the gearbox of the FS 511 / FS 561 models is installed. The reason for the recall is a possible risk of breakage of the output shaft if the product is used with a chopper knife. This can cause the tool to be thrown away, which means that there is a risk of injury for users and the bystanders.

    According to the information, gearboxes for and on free cutters with the model numbers listed below are affected. According to the manufacturer, they should no longer be used “from now on”, not even as a spare part.

    This is the affected product:

    The manufacturer informs that the gearbox must be exchanged on the free cutter. You can bring the affected freenschneider to a Stihl specialist dealer for repair. If you still have affected gears as a spare part, these gearboxes will be replaced free of charge. According to the company, this exam and, if necessary, the repair necessary will be free. If you have any questions, you can contact customer [email protected] directly.
