All factors which contribute to white-
finger disease are not known, but cold
weather, smoking and diseases or
physical conditions that affect blood
vessels and blood transport, as well as
high vibration levels and long periods of
exposure to vibration are mentioned as
factors in the development of whitefinger
disease. In order to reduce the risk of
whitefinger disease and carpal tunnel
syndrome, please note the following:
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.

Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury
to your eyes never
operate your power tool
unlesswearinggoggles or
properly fitted protective
glasses with adequate top
and side protection complying 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.
Proper Clothing
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.
!Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury, the operator
should wear proper protective apparel.
!Warning!
!Warning!
The deflector provided with your
KombiTool 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.
Power tool noise may
damage your hearing.
Wear sound barriers (ear
plugs or ear mufflers) to
protect your hearing.
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.
Continual and regular
users should have their hearing checked
regularly.
Maintain a firm grip at all times, but do
not squeeze the handles with constant,
excessive pressure. Wear gloves and
keep your hands warm. Take frequent
breaks.
Be particularly alert and cautious when
wearing hearing protection because
your ability to hear warnings (shouts,
alarms, etc.) is restricted.
