Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
&
anlgl
Because a brushcutter is
, a high-speed, fast-cutting
• power tool, special safety
precautions must be obseNed to reduce
the risk of personal injury.
It
is important that you
read, fully understand
and obseNe the following
safety precautions and
warnings. Read the owner's manual and
the safety instructions periodically. Care-
less or improper use of any brushcutter
may cause serious or fatal injury.
Have your STIHL dealer show you how
to
operate your brushcutter.
ObseNe
all
applicable local safety regulations,
standards and ordinances.
Warning!
The use of any brushcutter may be
hazardous.
If
the rotating cutting
1001
comes
in
contact with your body, it will
cut you. When it comes
in
contact with
solid foreign objects such as rocks
or
bits of metal, it may fling them directly or
by ricochet
in
the direction of bystanders
or
the operator.
Striking such objects could damage the
cutting attachment and may cause
blades to crack, chip or break.
STIHL does not recommend the use of
rigid blades when cutting
in
stony areas.
Thrown objects or damaged blades may
result
in
serious or fatal injury to the
operator or bystanders.
