7 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 7.5 Using the Power Tool 7.5.1 Before Operation WARNING ■ Misuse or unauthorized use may result in personal injury and property damage. - Use the power tool only as described in this instruction manual and the instruction manual for your KombiTool. ■ The KombiTool must be properly installed and tightened before starting work. Failure to use the proper parts to mount the KombiTool and its cutting/working attachment will increase the risk of personal injury to the operator and bystanders. - Read and follow the instructions on mounting the KombiTool and its cutting/working attachment in the KombiTool's instruction manual. ■ Using a power tool that is modified, damaged, improperly adjusted or maintained, or not completely and securely assembled can lead to a malfunction and increase the risk of serious personal injury or death. - Never operate a power tool that is modified, damaged, improperly maintained or not completely and securely assembled. - Always check your unit for proper condition and operation before starting work, particularly the retaining latch, trigger switch lockout and trigger switch. - Ensure that the retaining latch, trigger switch lockout and trigger switch move freely and spring back into place when released. The trigger switch must not engage until the retaining latch is unlocked and the trigger switch lockout is depressed. - Never attempt to modify or override the controls or safety devices in any way. - The cutting/working attachment must engage only when the KombiMotor is connected to a battery, the retaining latch is unlocked and the trigger switch lockout and trigger switch are depressed. English - If your KombiMotor or any part, including the battery, is damaged or does not function properly, take it to your authorized STIHL servicing dealer. Do not use the unit until the problem has been corrected. ■ Before inserting the battery connecting cord into the KombiMotor's socket: - Check the electrical contacts in the socket and on the plug of the connecting cord for corrosion or other foreign matter. Keep clean. - If the socket is dirty or corroded, take the unit to your authorized STIHL servicing dealer before use. - Never use a malfunctioning, damaged, cracked, leaking or deformed battery. - Read and follow the instructions on switching on the power tool, @ 16.1. ■ To help reduce the risk of serious personal injury or death from unintentional starting: - Be sure the retaining latch is in the locked position and the trigger switch is in the off position before inserting the battery connecting cord. - Never carry the unit with your finger on the trigger switch. - Release the trigger switch before removing the connecting cord. - Remove the connecting cord before assembling, transporting, adjusting, inspecting, cleaning, servicing, maintaining or storing the power tool.
