Proper Clothing
To reduce the risk of injury, the operator
should wear proper protective apparel.
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.
THE POWER TOOL
For illustrations and definitions of the
power tool parts see the chapter on
"Main Parts."
Warning!
The ignition system of the STIHL unit
produces an electromagnetic field of a
very low intensity. This field may inter
-
fere with some pacemakers. To reduce
the risk of serious or fatal injury, persons
with a pacemaker should consult their
physician and the pacemaker manufac
-
turer before operating this tool.
Warning!
The deflector provided with your power
tool will not protect the operator from all
foreign objects (gravel, glass, wire, etc.)
thrown back 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 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.
Wear an approved safety hard hat to
reduce the risk of injury to your head
when there is a danger of head injuries.
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
machine and metal
blades. Heavy-duty, non
-
slip 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.
