23 General Power Tool Safety
Warnings
This chapter reproduces the pre-formulated, gen‐
eral safety precautions specified in the EN 60745
European standard for hand-held motor-oper‐
ated electric tools. STIHL is required by law to
print these standardized texts verbatim.
The safety precautions and warnings on avoiding
an electric shock given under "2) Electric Pre‐
cautions" do not apply to STIHL cordless electric
power tools
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure
to follow the warnings and instructions may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future ref‐
erence.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool or bat‐
tery-operated (cordless) power tool.
23.1
1) Work area safety
a)Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.b)Do not operate
power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.c)Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
23.2
2) Electrical safety
a)Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.b)Avoid body con‐
tact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.c)Do not expose power
tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.d)Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.e)When oper‐
ating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suit‐
able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.f)If operating a power tool in a damp loca‐
tion is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
23.3
3) Personal safety
a)Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.b)Use
personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hear‐
ing protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.c)Prevent unintentional
starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position
before connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on
