Proper Clothing
The suitable deflector for your power
tool will not protect the operator from all
foreign objects (stones, glass, wire, etc.)
thrown back by the rotating attachment.
Thrown objects may also ricochet and
strike the operator.
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.
For further instructions on proper
clothing see the safety precautions in
the instruction manual of the
MultiEngine you are using.
THE POWER TOOL (MULTIENGINE
EQUIPPED WITH SOIL CULTIVATOR
MULTITOOL)
For illustrations and definitions of the
power tool parts see the chapter on
"Main Parts."
If this tool is subjected to unusually high
loads for which it was not designed (e.g.
heavy impact or a fall), always check
that it is in good condition before
continuing work. Check in particular that
the fuel system is tight (no leaks) and
that the controls and safety devices are
working properly. Do not continue
Warning!
Be alert – if you get tired, take a break.
Tiredness may result in loss of control.
Working with any power tool can be
strenuous. If you have any condition
that might be aggravated by strenuous
work, check with your doctor before
operating this machine.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury, the operator
should wear proper protective apparel.
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.
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 power
tool and the attachment.
Heavy-duty, nonslip
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.
Warning!
Never modify this power tool in any way.
Only attachments supplied by STIHL
and expressly approved by STIHL for
use with the specific STIHL power tool
models are authorized. Although certain
unauthorized attachments are useable
with STIHL power tools, their use may,
in fact, be extremely dangerous.
