The use of noise emitting power tools

national or local regulations.
To operate the power tool you must be
rested, in good physical condition and
mental health.
If you have any condition that might be
aggravated by strenuous work, check
with your doctor before operating a
power tool.
Persons with pacemakers only: The
ignition system of your power tool
produces an electromagnetic field of a
very low intensity. This field may
interfere with some pacemakers. STIHL

pacemakers consult their physician and
the pacemaker manufacturer to reduce
any health risk.

manual of the MultiTool you are using.
Do not use your power tool for any other
purpose because of the increased risk of
accidents.
Do not operate the MultiEngine without a
properly mounted MultiTool since this
may result in damage to the machine.
Only use MultiTools and accessories
that are explicitly approved for this
power tool by STIHL or are technically

identical. It is important that you read the
chapter on "Approved MultiTools". If you
have any questions in this respect,
consult a servicing dealer. Use only high
quality tools and accessories in order to
avoid the risk of accidents and damage
