Stihl FC MM Instruction Manual - Page 6

English WARNING To reduce the risk of injury to your eyes never operate your power tool unless wearing goggles or properly fitted protective glasses with adequate top and side protection complying with ANSI Z87 "+" (or your applicable national standard). 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. Be particularly alert and cautious when wearing hearing protection because your ability to hear warnings (shouts, alarms, etc.) is restricted. Always wear heavy duty work gloves (e.g. made of leather or other wear resistant material) when handling the power tool and the attachment. Heavy-duty, nonslip gloves improve your grip and help to protect your hands. 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. Avoid loose-fitting jackets, 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. Good footing is very important. Wear sturdy boots with nonslip soles. Steel-toed safety boots are recommended. For further instructions on proper clothing see the safety precautions in the instruction manual of the MultiEngine you are using. THE POWER TOOL (MULTIENGINE EQUIPPED WITH EDGER MULTITOOL) For illustrations and definitions of the power tool parts see the chapter on "Main Parts." WARNING Never modify this power tool in any way. Only attachments supplied by STIHL and expressly approved by STIHL for use with the specific STIHL power tool models are authorized. Although certain unauthorized attachments are useable with STIHL power tools, their use may, in fact, be extremely dangerous. If this tool is subjected to unusually high loads for which it was not designed (e.g. heavy impact or a fall), always check that it is in good condition before continuing work. Check in particular that the fuel system is tight (no leaks) and that the controls and safety devices are working properly. Do not continue operating this machine if it is damaged. In case of doubt, have it checked by your STIHL servicing dealer. THE USE OF THE POWER TOOL (MULTIENGINE EQUIPPED WITH EDGER MULTITOOL) Transporting the Power Tool WARNING To reduce the risk of injury from loss of control and MultiTool contact, never carry or transport your power tool with the MultiTool moving. WARNING Always switch off the engine and make sure the MultiTool has stopped before putting a power tool down. 4 FC-MM
