Proper Clothing
!
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury, the operator
should wear proper protective apparel.
!
Warning!
The deflector provided with your Combi
Tool may not protect the operator from
all foreign objects (gravel, glass, wire,
etc.) thrown by the rotating cutting
attachment. Thrown objects may also
ricochet and strike the operator.
!
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury
to your eyes never
operate a cultivator
unless wearing goggles or
properly fitted safety
glasses with adequate top
and side protection complying 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 safety glasses.
!
Warning!
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.
Protect your hands with
gloves when handling the
power tool and the cutting
attachment. Heavy-duty,
nonslip gloves improve
your grip and protect your
hands.
Clothing must be sturdy
and snug-fitting, but allow
complete freedom of
movement.
Avoid loose-fitting jackets,
scarfs, neckties, jewelry,
flared or cuffed pants,
unconfined long hair or
anything that could
become caught on
branches, brush or
moving parts of the unit.
Wear long pants made of heavy material
to protect your legs. Do not wear shorts,
pants, sandals or go bare foot. Secure
hair so it is above shoulder level.
Good footing is most
important in cultivator
work. Wear sturdy boots
with nonslip soles. Steel-
toed safety boots are
recommended.

Warning!
Never modify a CombiTool in any way.
Only attachments supplied by STIHL or

models are authorized. Although certain
unauthorized attachments may be
useable on the STIHL power tool, their
use may, in fact, be extremely
dangerous.
