Vibrations
Prolonged use of the power tool may
result in vibration-induced circulation
problems in the hands (whitefinger
disease).
No general recommendation can be
given for the length of usage because it
depends on several factors.
The period of usage is prolonged by:
Hand protection (wearing warm
–
gloves)
Work breaks
–
The period of usage is shortened by:
Any personal tendency to suffer
–
from poor circulation (symptoms:
frequently cold fingers, tingling
sensations).
Low outside temperatures.
–
The force with which the handles
–
are held (a tight grip restricts
circulation).
Continual and regular users should
monitor closely the condition of their
hands and fingers. If any of the above
symptoms appear (e.g. tingling
sensation in fingers), seek medical
advice.
Maintenance and Repairs
Always move the retaining latch to ƒ
and remove the battery before carrying
out any repairs or maintenance work on
the power tool. This avoids the risk of
the motor starting unintentionally.
Service the machine regularly. Do not
attempt any maintenance or repair work
not described in the instruction manual.
Have all other work performed by a
servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends that you have
servicing and repair work carried out
exclusively by an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer. STIHL dealers are
regularly given the opportunity to attend
training courses and are supplied with
the necessary technical information.
Only use high-quality replacement parts
in order to avoid the risk of accidents
and damage to the unit. If you have any
questions in this respect, consult a
servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends the use of genuine
STIHL replacement parts. They are
specifically designed to match your
model and meet your performance
requirements.
Never attempt to modify your power tool
in any way since this will increase the
risk of personal injury.
Regularly check the electrical contacts
and ensure that the insulation of the
connecting cord and plug of the charger
is in good condition and shows no sign
of ageing (brittleness).
Electrical components, e.g. connecting
cord of charger, may only be repaired or
replaced by a qualified electrician.
Clean plastic components with a cloth.
Do not use aggressive detergents. They
may damage the plastic.
Check tightness of mounting screws on
safety devices and the cutting
attachment and retighten if necessary.
