24 General Power Tool Safety Warnings

24.1 Introduction

This chapter reproduces the pre-formulated, general safety
precautions specified in the IEC 62841 standard for hand-
held motor-operated electric tools.
STIHL is obliged to publish these texts.
The safety precautions and warnings on avoiding an electric
shock given under "Electrical Safety" do not apply to STIHL
cordless products.
WARNING
Read all the safety precautions, instructions, illustrations
and specifications accompanying this electric power tool.
Failure to follow the safety warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all
safety warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "electric power tool" in the safety warnings refers
to mains-operated (corded) power tools or battery-operated
(cordless) power tools.

24.2 Work area safety

a) Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
b) Do not work with the electric power tool in potentially
explosive environments in which there are inflammable
liquids, gases or dusts. Electric power tools create sparks,
which can ignite dusts or fumes.
c) Keep children and other people away while you are
operating the electric power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control of the electric power tool.
