Only mount cutting tools or accessories
that are explicitly approved for this
power tool model by STIHL or are
technically identical. If you have any
questions in this respect, consult a
specialist dealer. To reduce the risk of
accidents or damage to the machine,
use only high quality tools and
replacement parts.
STIHL recommends the use of STIHL
original tools and accessories. The
characteristics of these components are
specifically designed to match your
machine and meet your performance
requirements.
The deflector on this brushcutter cannot
protect the operator from all objects
thrown by the cutting tool (stones, glass,
wire, etc.). Such objects may ricochet
and then hit the operator.
Clothing and Equipment
Wear proper protective clothing and
equipment.
Clothing must be sturdy
but allow complete
freedom of movement.
Wear snug-fitting clothing,
e.g. an overall and jacket
combination, do not wear
a work coat.
Avoid loose-fitting jackets, scarves,
neckties, jewellery or anything that could
get caught on wood, brush or rotating
parts of the machine. Tie up and confine
long hair (e.g. with a hair net, cap, hard
hat, etc.).
Wear steel-toed
safety boots
with
non-slip soles.
Sturdy boots with non-slip
soles may be worn as an
alternative only when using the mowing
heads.
Wear a
safety hard hat
for thinning, in high scrub
and where there is a
danger of head injuries
from falling objects.
To reduce the risk of injury
to your eyes from swirled up or thrown
objects, always wear
safety glasses
and a face shield.
Warning!
A face shield alone does not
provide adequate eye protection.
Wear hearing protection (earplugs or ear
muffs).
Wear
heavy-duty
gloves,
preferably made
of leather.
STIHL offers a comprehensive range of
safety clothing and equipment.
