7 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
￭
If a rotating metal blade strikes a rock or other hard object,
sparks may be created, which can ignite flammable
materials under certain circumstances. Flammable
materials can include dry vegetation and brush,
particularly when weather conditions are hot and dry.
–
When there is a risk of fire or wildfire, do not use
metal blades around flammable materials or around
dry vegetation or brush.
–
Contact your local fire authorities or the U.S. Forest
Service if you have any question about whether
vegetation and weather conditions are suitable for
the use of a metal blade.
–
STIHL does not recommend the use of metal blades
when cutting in rocky areas or in areas with debris or
other objects that could create sparks.
￭
Use of this power tool can generate dust and other
substances containing chemicals known to cause
respiratory problems, cancer, birth defects and other
reproductive harm.
–
Consult governmental agencies such as EPA,
OSHA, CARB and NIOSH and other authoritative
sources on hazardous materials if you are unfamiliar
with the risks associated with the particular
substances you are cutting or with which you are
working.
￭
Inhalation of certain dusts, especially organic dusts such
as mold or pollen, can cause susceptible persons to have
an allergic or asthmatic reaction. Substantial or repeated
inhalation of dust or other airborne contaminants,
especially those with a smaller particle size, may cause
respiratory or other illnesses.
–
Control dust at the source where possible.
–
To the extent possible, operate the power tool so
that the wind or operating process directs any dust,
mist or other particulate matter raised by the power
tool away from the operator.
–
When respirable dust or other particulate matter
cannot be kept at or near background levels, always
wear a respirator that is approved by NIOSH and
rated for worksite-specific conditions. Follow the
recommendations of governmental authorities (e.g.,
OSHA/NIOSH) and occupational and trade
associations.
￭
If the vegetation being cut or the surrounding ground is
coated with a chemical substance, such as a pesticide or
herbicide:
–
Read and follow the instructions and warnings that
accompanied the substance coating the vegetation
or surrounding ground.

injury from contact with the cutting/working attachment or
tool:
–
Wait for the cutting/working attachment or tool to
stop before walking with the unit or putting it down.
￭
Use of non-approved KombiTools or cutting/working
attachments could be extremely dangerous.
–
Use only the KombiTools and cutting/working
attachments recommended in this manual. See
Approved KombiTools,
@
26.
￭
To reduce the risk of severe personal injuries from
unintentional starting:
