The Power Tool
Never attempt to modify your machine in
any way since this may increase the risk
of personal injury. STIHL excludes all

to property caused while using
unauthorized attachments.
Transporting the Power Tool
Always switch off the machine, wait for
the cutting blade to come to a complete
standstill, remove the fuse key and
battery – even when you transport the
machine short distances. This avoids
the risk of the motor starting
unintentionally.
