condition of their hands and fingers. If
any of the above symptoms appear,
seek medical advice immediately.
Proper Clothing
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, the operator
should wear proper protective apparel.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of
injury to your eyes never
operate your power tool
unless wearing goggles
or properly fitted
protective glasses with
adequate top and side protection
complying with ANSI Z87 "+" (or your
applicable national standard). Wear an
approved safety hard hat when there is
a risk of head injury.
STIHL recommends the use of sound
barriers (ear plugs or ear mufflers) to
protect your hearing.
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.
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.

Good footing is very
important. Wear sturdy
boots with nonslip soles.
Never wear sandals, flip-
flops or go barefoot.
Always wear heavy duty
work gloves (e.g. made of
leather or other wear
resistant material) when
handling the machine
and the cutting tool.
Heavy-duty, nonslip
gloves improve your grip
and help to protect your
hands.
THE POWER TOOL
For illustrations and definitions of the
power tool parts see the chapter on
"Main Parts."
WARNING
Never modify this power tool in any way,
since this may increase the risk of
personal injury. Only attachments
supplied by STIHL or expressly
approved by STIHL for use with the
specific STIHL model are authorized.
Although certain unauthorized
attachments are useable with STIHL
power tools, their use may, in fact, be
extremely dangerous.
If your power tool is subjected to
unusually high loads for which it was not
designed (e.g. heavy impact or a fall),
always check that it is in good condition
before continuing work – see also
"Before Starting Work." Make sure the
safety devices are working properly. Do
not continue operating your power tool if
it is damaged. In case of doubt, have the
machine checked by your STIHL
servicing dealer.
Battery
WARNING
Risk of fire, explosion
and/or burns, including
chemical burns. Do not
disassemble, crush, heat
above 212 °F (100 °C),
expose to fire or inciner-
ate. Never expose the
battery to microwaves or
high pressures.
Do not place the battery on or near fires,
stoves or in other high-temperature
locations. Do not place the battery in
direct sunlight or store it inside a vehicle
in hot weather. Doing so may cause the
battery to generate heat, rupture or
ignite. Using the batteries in this manner
may also result in a loss of performance
and a shortened battery life.
In case of fire: stay clear of any vapors
or gases generated, taking wind
direction into account. If possible without
danger, remove battery from the vicinity
of the fire. In principle, cooling the
battery or extinguishing the fire with
water is possible. It is preferable to
extinguish the fire with a multipurpose
dry chemical fire extinguisher. As for any
fire, evacuate the area and fight the fire
from a safe distance. Once the fire has
been extinguished, the area should be
monitored (fire watch) in case of a flare-
up, until the battery has cooled
sufficiently. Restrict access to the area
until completion of clean-up. Do not
