Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Because a MultiEngine
equipped with a Bristle
Brush or PowerSweep
MultiTool is a powerful
tool, special safety pre-
cautions must be
observed to reduce the
risk of personal injury.
It is important that you
read, fully understand
and observe the following
safety precautions and
warnings. Read the
instruction manuals and
the safety precautions of
your MultiEngine and
MultiTool periodically.
Careless or improper use
may cause serious or
fatal injury.
Have your STIHL dealer show you how
to operate your power tool. Observe all
applicable local safety regulations,
standards and ordinances.
WARNING
Do not lend or rent your power tool
without the instruction manuals of your
MultiEngine and MultiTool. Be sure that
anyone using it understands the
information contained in these manuals.
WARNING
The use of this machine may be
hazardous. When it comes in contact
with solid foreign objects such as rocks
or bits of metal, it may fling them directly
or by ricochet in the direction of
KB-MM, KW-MM
bystanders or the operator. Striking such
objects could damage the MultiTool.
Thrown objects may result in serious or
fatal injury to the operator or bystanders.
Use your MultiEngine equipped with the
KW-MM PowerSweep MultiTool only for
moving wet materials, such as leaves or
dirt, clearing snow and removing
standing water from solid surfaces.
Use the KB-MM Bristle Brush MultiTool
only for sweeping areas and paths,
including uneven and jointed surfaces,
and natural stone paving.
WARNING
Do not use it for other purposes, since
misuse may result in personal injury or
property damage, including damage to
the machine.
WARNING
Minors should never be allowed to use
this power tool. Bystanders, especially
children, and animals should not be
allowed in the area where it is in use.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury to bystanders
and damage to property, never let your
power tool run unattended. When it is
not in use (e.g. during a work break),
shut it off and make sure that
unauthorized persons do not use it.
Most of these safety precautions and
warnings apply to the use of all STIHL
power tools. Different models may have
different parts and controls. See the
appropriate section of your MultiEngine
and MultiTool instruction manuals for a
description of the controls and the
function of the parts of your model.
Safe use of a power tool involves
1. the operator
2. the power tool
3. the use of the power tool.
THE OPERATOR
Physical Condition
You must be in good physical condition
and mental health and not under the
influence of any substance (drugs,
alcohol, etc.) which might impair vision,
dexterity or judgment. Do not operate
this machine when you are fatigued.
WARNING
Be alert – if you get tired, take a break.
Tiredness may result in loss of control.
Working with any power tool can be
strenuous. If you have any condition that
might be aggravated by strenuous work,
check with your doctor before operating
this machine.
Proper Clothing
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, the operator
should wear proper protective apparel.
The suitable deflector for your power
tool will not protect the operator from all
foreign objects (stones, glass, wire, etc.)
thrown by the rotating attachment.
Thrown objects may also ricochet and
strike the operator.
