Safety Precautions And Working Techniques - Stihl FSB-KM Manual De Instrucciones

Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Because a KombiEngine
equipped with a trimmer
KombiTool is a high-
speed power tool, special
safety precautions must
be observed to reduce
the risk of personal injury.
It is important that you
read, fully understand
and observe the following
safety precautions and
warnings. Read the
instruction manuals and
the safety precautions of
your KombiEngine and
KombiTool periodically.
Careless or improper use
may cause serious or
fatal injury.
Have your STIHL dealer show you how
to operate your power tool. Observe all
applicable local safety regulations,
standards and ordinances.
The term "trimmer" is used to designate
an FS unit that is equipped with a nylon
line head or a head with flexible plastic
blades (i.e., the Polycut head). FS
models with an "R" on the nameplate
were originally configured (at the time of
distribution) as a trimmer with a loop
handle.
WARNING
As more fully explained later in these
Safety Precautions, to reduce the risk of
personal injury, make sure your unit is
equipped with the proper handle,
harness and deflector for the type of
FSB-KM
cutting attachment you are using. Use
only cutting attachments that are
specifically authorized by STIHL for use
on your KombiEngine model. To reduce
the risk of severe or fatal injury from
blade contact and / or loss of control,
never attempt to use a metal blade on
this trimmer.
WARNING
Do not lend or rent your power tool
without the instruction manuals of your
KombiEngine and KombiTool. Be sure
that anyone using it understands the
information contained in these manuals.
WARNING
The use of this machine may be
hazardous. If the rotating line or blade
comes in contact with your body, it will
cut you. When it comes in contact with
solid foreign objects such as rocks or
bits of metal, it may fling them directly or
by ricochet in the direction of bystanders
or the operator. Striking such objects
could damage the cutting attachment.
Thrown objects, including broken heads
or polymer blades, may result in serious
or fatal injury to the operator or
bystanders.
Use your KombiEngine equipped with
the appropriate KombiTool only for
cutting grass and similar material.
WARNING
Do not use it for other purposes, since
misuse may result in personal injury or
property damage, including damage to
the machine.
WARNING
Minors should never be allowed to use
this power tool. Bystanders, especially
children, and animals should not be
allowed in the area where it is in use.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury to bystanders
and damage to property, never let your
power tool run unattended. When it is
not in use (e.g. during a work break),
shut it off and make sure that
unauthorized persons do not use it.
Most of these safety precautions and
warnings apply to the use of all STIHL
power tools. Different models may have
different parts and controls. See the
appropriate section of your
KombiEngine and KombiTool instruction
manuals for a description of the controls
and the function of the parts of your
model.
Safe use of a power tool involves
1. the operator
2. the power tool
3. the use of the power tool.

Physical Condition
