If the MultiTool or deflector becomes
clogged or stuck, always switch off the
engine and make sure the attachment
has stopped before cleaning. Grass,
weeds, etc. should be cleaned off the
attachment as necessary.
To reduce the risk of eye and other injury
ensure that bystanders are at least
16 feet (5 m) away. Bystanders should
be encouraged to wear eye protection.
To reduce the risk of damage to
property, also maintain this distance
from such objects as vehicles or
windows.
Stop the engine immediately if you are
approached.
If the machine strikes a buried object
(such as a stone), stop the engine and
remove the obstacle. Examine the
machine for signs of damage before
continuing.
MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND
STORING
Wear gloves when handling or
performing maintenance on blades.
Tighten all nuts, bolts and screws,
except the carburetor adjustment
screws, after each use.
Warning!
Before you start work, examine the area
for stones, glass, pieces of metal, rub-
bish or other solid objects. Such objects
could be hurled by the cutting tool and
directly or indirectly strike the operator
or bystanders. Such objects may also
damage the MultiTool. The blade may
shatter, splinter or break. Flying objects
or damaged blades may cause serious
or fatal injury to the operator and
bystanders.
5m (16ft)
Warning!
Never divert discharge of material
toward bystanders nor allow anyone
near the area of operation. Use care in
directing discharge to avoid damage to
surfaces, automobiles, and the like.
Warning!
Avoid cutting close to fences, sides of
buildings, tree trunks, stones or similar
obstacles which could damage the
blade or lead to loss of control of the
unit. Be aware of a higher risk of rico-
chets in such conditions. Flying objects
or damaged blades may cause serious
or fatal injuries to the operator and
bystanders. Avoid the roots of trees!
Large roots may jam the blades and
damage the machine. The tree may also
be damaged if its roots are severed.
Warning!
Check the tightness and condition of the
MultiTool at regular intervals during cut-
ting. If the behaviour of the tool
changes, stop the engine immediately
and examine the tool. Replace a
cracked, bent, warped or damaged
blade immediately, even if damage is
limited to superficial cracks. Such
attachments may shatter at high speed
and cause serious or fatal injury.
Warning!
The gearbox becomes hot during oper-
ation. To reduce the risk of burn injury,
do not touch the gear housing when it is
hot.
Warning!
Always stop the engine and make sure
that the attachment is stopped before
doing any maintenance or repair work or
cleaning the power tool. Do not attempt
any maintenance or repair work not
described in your MultiEngine and
MultiTool instruction manuals. Have
such work performed at your STIHL
servicing dealer only.
Warning!
Use only identical STIHL replacement
parts for maintenance and repair. Use of
non-STIHL parts may cause serious or
fatal injury.
Warning!
Never repair damaged attachments by
welding, straightening or modifying the
shape. This may cause parts of the
attachment to come off and result in
serious or fatal injuries.
