24.1 Introduction
This chapter reproduces the pre-formulated, general safety 
precautions specified in the IEC 62841 standard for hand-
held motor-operated electric tools.
STIHL is obliged to publish these texts.
The safety precautions and warnings on avoiding an electric 
shock given under “Electrical Safety” do not apply to STIHL 
cordless products.
WARNING
Read all the safety precautions, instructions, illustrations 
and specifications accompanying this electric power tool. 
Failure to follow the safety warnings and instructions may 
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all 
safety warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "electric power tool" in the safety warnings refers 
to mains-operated (corded) power tools or battery-operated 
(cordless) power tools.
24.2 Work area safety
a)Keep your work area clean and well lit.  Cluttered or dark 
areas invite accidents.
b)Do not work with the electric power tool in potentially 
explosive environments in which there are inflammable 
liquids, gases or dusts. Electric power tools create sparks, 
which can ignite dusts or fumes.
c) Keep children and other people away while you are 
operating the electric power tool. Distractions can cause 
you to lose control of the electric power tool.
