STIHL offers a comprehensive range of
personal protective clothing and
equipment.
The Power Tool
To avoid serious burn injuries, avoid
touching hot parts of the machine,
especially the surface of the muffler.
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.
Transporting the Power Tool
Always stop the engine.
Carry the power tool properly balanced
by the drive tube – with the hot muffler
away from your body and the cutting
attachment pointing to the rear.
Transporting in a vehicle: Properly
secure your power tool to prevent
turnover, fuel spillage and damage.
Cleaning the Power Tool
Do not use a pressure washer to clean
the power tool. The solid jet of water
may damage parts of the power tool.

Always clean dust and dirt off the power
tool – do not use any grease solvents for
this purpose.
Clean plastic surfaces with a damp
cloth. Do not use aggressive detergents.

After thoroughly cleaning, coat surface
of metal cutting attachments with a
corrosion inhibitor.

When the power tool is not in use, shut it
off so that it does not endanger others.
