Stihl FSE 60 Instruction Manual page 31

When you use an extension cord, make
sure the plug and coupling are
waterproof or positioned in such a way
that they cannot come into contact with
water.
Only use cutting attachments and
accessories that are explicity approved
for this power tool model by STIHL or
are technically identical. If you have any
questions in this respect, consult a
servicing dealer. Use only high quality
parts and accessories in order to avoid
the risk of accidents and damage to the
machine.
STIHL recommends the use of original
STIHL replacement parts. They are
specifically designed to match your
model and meet your performance
requirements.
The deflector on this power tool cannot
protect the operator from all objects
thrown by the cutting attachment
(stones, glass, wire, etc.). Such objects
may ricochet and then hit the operator.
Clothing and Equipment

equipment.
Clothing must be sturdy
but allow complete free-
dom of movement. Wear
snug-fitting clothing, an
overall and jacket combi-
nation, do not wear a
work coat.
Avoid clothing that could get caught on
branches or brush or moving parts of the
machine. Do not wear a scarf, necktie or
jewelry. Tie up and confine long hair
(e.g. with a hair net, cap, hard hat, etc.).

non-slip soles.
To reduce the risk of
injury from thrown
objects, always wear a
face shield and safety
glasses.
A face shield alone does not provide
adequate eye protection.

or ear muffs.
Wear heavy-duty
gloves, preferably made
of leather.
STIHL offers a comprehensive range of
personal protective clothing and
equipment.

couplings and plugs or connecting
cords that do not comply with
regulations.
