Stihl FS 94 Instruction Manual page 11

WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of
control, do not attempt to "drop start"
your power tool.
WARNING
When you pull the starter grip, do not
wrap the starter rope around your hand.
Do not let the grip snap back, but guide
the starter rope to rewind it properly.
Failure to follow this procedure may
result in injury to your hand or fingers
and may damage the starter
mechanism.
Important Adjustments
WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal injury
from loss of control or contact with the
running cutting attachment, do not use
your unit with incorrect idle adjustment.
At correct idle speed, the cutting
attachment should not move. For
directions on how to adjust idle speed,
see the appropriate section of your
instruction manual.
If you cannot set the correct idle speed,
have your STIHL dealer check your
power tool and make proper
adjustments and repairs.
WARNING
This unit is equipped with an ignition
system that is normally in operational
readiness. After the momentary stop
switch is used to stop the engine, it
automatically springs back to the "on"
position. If the engine is warm, it may be
possible to start it by simply pulling the
STIHL FS 94 R
starter rope, with no further adjustments.
To reduce the risk of injury, be
particularly alert to keep children away
from the unit.
During Operation
Holding and Controlling the Power Tool
Always hold the unit firmly with both
hands on the handles while you are
working. Wrap your fingers and thumbs
around the handles.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of
control, never work on a ladder or on any
other insecure support. Never hold the
cutting attachment above waist height.
WARNING
Never attempt to operate
your power tool with one
hand. Loss of control of
the power tool resulting in
serious or fatal injury may
result. To reduce the risk
of cut injuries, keep
hands and feet away
from the cutting attach-
ment. Never touch a
moving cutting attach-
ment with your hand or
any other part of your
body.
WARNING
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Special care
must be taken in slippery conditions (wet
ground, snow) and in difficult, overgrown
terrain. Watch for hidden obstacles such
as tree stumps, roots and ditches to
avoid stumbling. For better footing, clear
away scrub and cuttings. Be extremely
cautious when working on slopes or
uneven ground.
Working Conditions
Operate and start your power tool only
outdoors in a well ventilated area.
Operate it under good visibility and
daylight conditions only. Work carefully.
