Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Warning!
Because a Combi Engine
equipped with a
PowerSweep CombiTool
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
owner's manuals and the
safety instructions of your CombiEngine
and CombiTool periodically. Careless or
improper use of any power tool 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.
!
Warning!
Minors should never be allowed to use a
power tool. Bystanders, especially
children, and animals should not be
allowed in the area where a power tool is
in use!
Never let the PowerSweep run
unattended.

Warning!
Do not lend or rent your power tool
without the owner's manuals. Be sure
that anyone using your power tool
understands the information contained
in these manuals.
Most of these safety precautions and
warnings apply to the use of all STIHL
PowerSweeps. Different models may
have different parts and controls. See
the appropriate section of your
CombiEngine and CombiTool owner's
manual for a description of the controls
and function of the parts of your power
tool model.
Safe use of a power tool involves
1. the operator
2. the power tool
3. the use of the power tool.
THE OPERATOR!
Physical Condition
You must be in good physical condition
and mental health and not under the
influence of any substance (drugs,
alcohol, etc.) which might impair vision,
dexterity or judgment. Do not operate a
power tool when you are fatigued.
