Proper Clothing
To reduce the risk of injury, the operator 
should wear proper protective apparel.
Be particularly alert and cautious when 
wearing hearing protection because 
your ability to hear warnings (shouts, 
alarms, etc.) is restricted.
Avoid loose-fitting jackets, scarfs, 
neckties, jewelry, flared or cuffed pants, 
unconfined long hair or anything that 
could become caught on branches, 
brush or the moving parts of the unit. 
Secure hair so it is above shoulder level.
THE POWER TOOL
For illustrations and definitions of the 
power tool parts see the chapter on 
"Main Parts."
Warning!
The ignition system of the STIHL unit 
produces an electromagnetic field of a 
very low intensity. This field may inter-
fere with some pacemakers. To reduce 
the risk of serious or fatal injury, persons 
with a pacemaker should consult their 
physician and the pacemaker manufac-
turer before operating this tool.
Warning!
The deflector provided with your power 
tool will not protect the operator from all 
foreign objects (gravel, glass, wire, etc.) 
thrown back by the rotating cutting 
attachment. Thrown objects may also 
ricochet and strike the operator.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of 
injury to your eyes never 
operate your power tool 
unless wearing goggles 
or properly fitted protec-
tive glasses with 
adequate top and side protection com-
plying with ANSI Z 87.1 (or your 
applicable national standard). To 
reduce the risk of injury to your face 
STIHL recommends that you also wear 
a face shield or face screen over your 
goggles or protective glasses.
Wear an approved safety hard hat to 
reduce the risk of injury to your head 
when there is a danger of head injuries.
Power tool noise may damage your 
hearing. Wear sound barriers (ear plugs 
or ear mufflers) to protect your hearing. 
Continual and regular users should 
have their hearing checked regularly.
Always wear gloves 
when handling the 
machine and metal 
blades. Heavy-duty, non-
slip gloves improve your 
grip and help to protect 
your hands.
Clothing must be sturdy 
and snug-fitting, but allow 
complete freedom of 
movement. Wear long 
pants made of heavy 
material to help protect 
your legs. Do not wear 
shorts, sandals or go 
barefoot.
Good footing is very 
important. Wear sturdy 
boots with nonslip soles. 
Steel-toed safety boots 
are recommended.
