Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Warning!
Because a power tool
equipped with a
PowerSweep 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
owner's manuals and the
safety instructions of your power tool
and PowerSweep attachment
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.
