injury to your eyes never
operate your power tool
unless wearing goggles
or properly fitted protec-
tive glasses with
adequate top and side
protection complying with
ANSI Z 87.1 (or your
applicable national stand-
ard). 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.
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.

Never modify this power tool in any way.
Only attachments supplied by STIHL
and expressly approved by STIHL for

ized attachments are useable with
STIHL power tools, their use may, in
fact, be extremely dangerous. For the
cutting attachments authorized by
STIHL for your unit, see the chapter
"Approved Combinations of Cutting
Attachment, Deflector, Handle and Har-
ness" in the instruction manual or the
STIHL "Power Tools and Accessories"
catalog.
Avoid loose-fitting jack-

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
