disease. In order to reduce the risk of
whitefinger disease and carpal tunnel
syndrome, please note the following:
Proper Clothing
Warning!
Be particularly alert and cautious when
wearing hearing protection because
your ability to hear warnings (shouts,
alarms, etc.) is restricted.
Most STIHL power tools are available
with an anti-vibration (“AV”) system
designed to reduce the transmission of
vibrations created by the machine to the
operator's hands. An AV system is
recommended for those persons using
power tools on a regular or sustained
basis.
To reduce the risk of injury, the operator
should wear proper protective apparel.
Always wear gloves
when handling the
machine, blade and the
cutting attachment.
Heavy-duty, nonslip
gloves improve your grip
and help to protect your
hands.
Warning!
The deflector provided with your power
tool will not protect the operator from all
foreign objects (gravel, glass, wire, etc.)
thrown back by the rotating cutting
attachment. Thrown objects may also
ricochet and strike the operator.
Keep the AV system well maintained. A
power tool with loose components or
with damaged or worn AV buffers will
tend to have higher vibration levels.
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, sandals or go
barefoot.
Maintain a firm grip at all times, but do
not squeeze the handles with constant,
excessive pressure. Take frequent
breaks.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of
injury to your eyes never
operate your power tool
unless wearing goggles
or properly fitted protec-
All the above-mentioned precautions do
not guarantee that you will not sustain
whitefinger disease or carpal tunnel
syndrome. Therefore, continual and
regular users should closely monitor the
condition of their hands and fingers. If
any of the above symptoms appear,
seek medical advice immediately.
Avoid loose-fitting jack-
ets, 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.
tive glasses with
adequate top and side protection com-
plying with ANSI Z 87.1 (or your
applicable national standard). To
reduce the risk of injury to your face
STIHL recommends that you also wear
a face shield or face screen over your
goggles or protective glasses.
Warning!
The ignition system of the STIHL unit
produces an electromagnetic field of a
very low intensity. This field may inter-
fere with some pacemakers. To reduce
the risk of serious or fatal injury, persons
with a pacemaker should consult their
physician and the pacemaker manufac-
turer before operating this tool.
Warning!
Good footing is very
important. Wear sturdy
boots with nonslip soles.
Steel-toed safety boots
are recommended.
Power tool noise may
damage your hearing.
Wear sound barriers (ear
plugs or ear mufflers) to
protect your hearing.
Continual and regular
users should have their hearing
checked regularly.
