Use only high quality tools and
accessories in order to avoid the risk of
accidents and damage to the machine.
STIHL recommends the use of genuine
STIHL tools and accessories. They are
specifically designed to match the
product and meet your performance
requirements.
The deflector on this power tool cannot
protect the operator from all objects
thrown by the attachment (stones, glass,
wire, etc.). Such objects may ricochet
and then hit the operator.
Never attempt to modify your machine in
any way since this may increase the risk
of personal injury. STIHL excludes all
liability for personal injury and damage
to property caused while using
unauthorized attachments.
Do not use a pressure washer to clean
the unit. The solid jet of water may
damage parts of the unit.
Clothing and Equipment
Wear proper protective clothing and
equipment.
Avoid clothing that could get caught on
branches or brush or moving parts of the
machine. Do not wear a scarf, necktie or
jewelry. Tie up and confine long hair
(e.g. with a hair net, cap, hard hat, etc.).
WARNING
Wear hearing protection, e.g. earplugs
or ear muffs.
Wear a face shield and make sure it is a
good fit. A face shield alone does not
provide adequate eye protection.
STIHL offers a comprehensive range of
personal protective clothing and
equipment.
Transporting the Power Tool
Always turn off the engine.
Carry your power tool by the handle,
attachment in front of you. Retract the
spur, if fitted.
Do not touch hot parts of the machine
since burn injury will result.
Transporting by vehicle: Properly secure
your power tool to prevent turnover, fuel
spillage and damage.
Before Starting
Check that your power tool is properly
assembled and in good condition – refer
to appropriate chapters in the
MultiEngine and MultiTool instruction
manuals.
– Check that rotor blades are correctly
and securely mounted and in good
condition (clean, move freely, not
warped).
– Inspect the deflectors for damage
and wear. Do not operate the
machine with a damaged deflector –
replace damaged parts.
– Never attempt to modify the controls
or safety devices in any way.
– Keep the handles dry and clean –
free from oil and dirt – for safe
control of the power tool.
– Swing the bike handle to the normal
operating position and tighten it
down firmly with the rotary knob.
See chapter on "Adjusting the
Handlebar" in the MultiEngine
instruction manual.
To reduce the risk of accidents, do not
operate your power tool if it is damaged
or not properly assembled.
Clothing must be sturdy
but allow complete free-
dom of movement. Wear
snug-fitting clothing, an
overall and jacket combi-
nation, do not wear a
work coat.
Wear steel-toed safety
boots with non-slip soles.
To reduce the risk of eye
injuries, wear close-fit-
ting safety glasses in
accordance with Euro-
pean Standard EN 166.
Make sure the safety
glasses are a snug fit.
Wear heavy-duty work
gloves made of durable
material (e.g. leather).
