23.1 Introduction

This chapter reproduces the pre-formulated, gen‐ eral safety precautions specified in the IEC 62841 standard for hand-held motor-oper‐ ated electric tools.

STIHL is obliged to publish these texts.

The safety precautions and warnings on avoiding an electric shock given under “Electrical Safety” do not apply to STIHL cordless products.

WARNING

■ Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustra‐

tions and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions lis‐ ted below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "electric power tool" in the safety warn‐ ings refers to mains-operated (corded) power tools or battery-operated (cordless) power tools.

0458-062-0102-A 17

Page 18

English 23 General Power Tool Safety Warnings

23.2 Work area safety

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered

or dark areas invite accidents.

Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

23.3 Electrical safety

Power tool plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (groun‐ ded) power tools.Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord

for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entan‐ gled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

When operating a power tool outdoors, use

an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

If operating a power tool in a damp location

is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

23.4 Personal safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

)

common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

Use personal protective equipment. Always

wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,

hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the

switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

Remove any adjusting key or wrench before

turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. This enables better con‐ trol of the power tool in unexpected situa‐ tions.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

If devices are provided for the connection of

dust extraction and collection facillities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dustrelated hazards.

Do not let familiarity gained from frequent

use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a frac‐ tion of a second.

23.5 Power tool use and care

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct

)

power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

Do not use the power tool if the switch does

not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dan‐ gerous and must be repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the power source

and/or remove the battery pack, if detacha‐ ble, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or stor‐ ing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

Store idle power tools out of the reach of

children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to

18 0458-062-0102-A

Page 19

23 General Power Tool Safety Warnings English

operate the power tool. Power tools are dan‐ gerous in the hands of untrained users.

Maintain power tools and accessories.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condi‐ tion that may affect the power tool’s opera‐ tion. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits

etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situa‐ tion.

Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,

clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

23.6 Battery tool use and care

Recharge only with the charger specified by

)

the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.

Use power tools only with specifically desig‐

nated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

When battery pack is not in use, keep it

away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connec‐ tion from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be

ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam‐

aged or modified. Damaged or modified bat‐ teries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or

excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or

temperature above 130 °C may cause explo‐ sion.

Follow all charging instructions and do not

charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instruc‐ tions. Charging improperly or at tempera‐ tures outside the specified range may dam‐ age the battery and increase the risk of fire.

23.7 Service

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified

repair person using only identical replace‐ ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Never service damaged battery packs. Serv‐

ice of battery packs should only be per‐ formed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.

23.8 Safety Information for Blowers

Do not use your blower in bad weather,

especially during thunderstorms. This reduces the risk of being struck by lightning.

Wear safety glasses and hearing protection.

Wearing suitable personal protective equip‐ ment will reduce the risk of injury.

Always wear non-slip, protective shoes when

operating the blower. Never work barefoot or with open sandals. This will reduce the risk of a foot injury.

Do not wear loose fitting clothing or items

such as scarves, cords, chains, ribbons, etc., that could be sucked into the air inlet vent. Tie up your hair or cover it to prevent it from being sucked into the air inlet vent. The sucking of any of these items into the air inlet vent may increase the risk of injury.

Keep your blower at a distance from other

people during operation. Deflected waste may increase the risk of injury.

Never aim the blower nozzle in the direction

of people, animals or windows. Operate the device with particular attention when clearing waste away from fixed objects, such as trees, cars or walls, from which waste may be deflected. Deflected parts may increase the risk of injury.

Do not use the blower to clear burning or

smoking waste, such as cigarettes, matches or ash. These sources of ignition may increase the risk of fire.

0458-062-0102-A 19

Page 20

English 23 General Power Tool Safety Warnings

Do not touch the fan while it is still turning.

Switch off the blower and wait until the fan stands still before removing a part that pro‐ vides access to the fan. This will reduce the risk of injury due to moving parts.

Before removing trapped cuttings or servic‐

ing the blower, ensure that the switch is turned off. An unexpected startup of the blower while removing trapped cuttings or during servicing may increase the risk of injury.
