strike the operator.

Important!
Never operate the power
tool without goggles or
properly fitted safety
glasses with adequate top
and side protection
complying with ANSI Z
87.1 or national applicable safety
standards. 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 safety glasses.

The noise of a power tool
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.
BF, BK
Protect your hands with
gloves when handling the
power tool and
implement. Heavy-duty,
non-slip gloves improve
your grip and protect your
hands.
Clothing must be sturdy
and snug-fitting, but also
allow complete freedom
of movement.
Avoid loose-fitting jackets,
scarves, neckties,
jewellery, flared or cuffed
trousers, long loose hair
or anything that could
become caught on
branches, brush or
moving parts of the unit.
Wear long trousers made of heavy
material to protect your legs. Do not
wear shorts or operate the power tool
when barefoot or wearing open sandals.
Tuck your hair up so that it is above
shoulder level.
Good footing is very
important. STIHL
recommends the use of
safety boots with non-slip
soles, preferably with
steel toe caps.
