Never jerk the power cord to disconnect
it from the wall outlet. To unplug, grasp
the plug, not the cord.
Unsuitable extension cords may be
dangerous.
When using extension cords, ensure
that the minimum conductor cross-
sections are maintained (refer to the
chapter entitled "Connecting the
machine to the power supply").
The connector and coupling of the
extension cord must be waterproof or
routed in such a way that they cannot
come into contact with water.
Only use cutting blades and accessories
that are explicitly approved for this
machine by STIHL or are technically
identical. If you have any questions in
this respect, consult a STIHL dealer.
Use only high-quality parts and
accessories. Otherwise there is a risk of
accidents and damage to the unit.
STIHL recommends the use of genuine
STIHL tools and accessories. They are
specifically designed to match the
product and meet your performance
requirements.
Never attempt to modify your power tool
in any way since this may increase the
risk of personal injury. STIHL excludes
all liability for personal injury and
damage to property caused while using
unauthorized attachments.
Do not use a high-pressure washer to
clean the power tool. The solid jet of
water may damage parts of the unit.
Do not spray the power tool with water.
Clothing and equipment
Wear proper protective clothing and
equipment.
Do not wear clothing which could
become trapped in wood, brush or
moving parts of the machine. Do not
wear a scarf, necktie or jewelry. Tie up
and confine long hair above your
shoulders.
WARNING
The use of hearing protection is
recommended, e.g. ear defenders.
STIHL can supply a comprehensive
range of personal protective equipment.
Transporting the Machine
Always switch off the power tool, unplug
it from the power supply and fit the blade
scabbard – even when carrying the unit
short distances.
Carry the machine by the handle – with
the cutting blades pointing to the rear.
Transporting by vehicle: Properly secure
the power tool to prevent it tipping over
and being damaged.
Before starting work
Check that your machine is properly
assembled and in good condition – refer
to appropriate chapters in the instruction
manual:
– Voltage and frequency of the
machine (see rating plate) and the
voltage and frequency of your
power supply must be the same.
– Examine the connecting cord,
power plug and extension cord for
damage. Damaged cords,
couplings and plugs or connecting
cords that do not comply with the
regulations must not be used
– Extension cord sockets must be
splash-proof
Clothing must be sturdy
but allow complete free-
dom of movement. Wear
close-fitting clothes such
as a boiler suit, not a
loose jacket.
Wear sturdy shoes with
non-slip soles.
To reduce the risk of eye
injuries, wear close-fit-
ting safety glasses in
accordance with Euro-
pean Standard EN 166.
Make sure the protective
glasses are a snug fit.
Wear sturdy protective
gloves made of a resist-
ant material (e. g.
leather).
