Safety Precautions And Working Techniques - Stihl FS-MM Manual De Instrucciones

Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Because a MultiEngine
(YARD BOSS®)
equipped with a trimmer
attachment 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 MultiEngine and
MultiTool 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.
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 deflector for
the type of cutting attachment you are
using. Use only cutting attachments that
are specifically authorized by STIHL for
use on your MultiEngine model.

WARNING
Do not lend or rent your power tool
without the instruction manuals of your
MultiEngine and MultiTool. 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 polymer
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 and may cause polymer
blades to crack, chip or break. Thrown
objects, including broken heads or
blades, may result in serious or fatal
injury to the operator or bystanders.
Use your MultiEngine equipped with the
appropriate MultiTool only for cutting
grass.
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 MultiEngine
and MultiTool 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.
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
this machine when you are fatigued.
WARNING
Be alert – if you get tired, take a break.
Tiredness may result in loss of control.
Working with any power tool can be
strenuous. If you have any condition that
might be aggravated by strenuous work,
check with your doctor before operating
this machine.
