The STIHL interchangeable attachment 
may be mounted to different STIHL 
power tools.
The approved power tool models are 
listed in the chapter on "Approved Basic 
Power Tools".
In this instruction manual the functional 
unit formed by the basic power tool and 
interchangeable attachment is referred 
to as the power tool.
Therefore, the separate instruction 
manuals for the basic power tool and 
attachment should be used together for 
the power tool.
Always read and and make sure you 
understand both instruction manuals 
before using your power tool for the first 
time and keep them in a safe place for 
future reference.
