Introduction
This chapter reproduces the pre-formulated, gen‐
eral safety precautions specified in the
IEC 62841 standard for hand-held motor-oper‐
ated electric tools.
STIHL is obliged to publish these texts.

tions and specifications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions lis‐
ted below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and
instructions for future reference.
The term "electric power tool" in the safety warn‐
ings refers to mains-operated (corded) power
tools or battery-operated (cordless) power tools.

operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
24.3
Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed (groun‐
ded) power tools.Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
