Stihl BF-MM Instruction Manual page 5

English
Never attempt to modify your power
tool in any way since this can be
extremely dangerous and result in
serious or fatal injury. STIHL cannot
accept any liability for personal injury or
damage to property caused by
modifications to the power tool or using
attachments not approved by STIHL.
Clothing and Equipment
Wear proper protective clothing and
equipment.
Clothing must be sturdy
and snug-fitting, but allow
complete freedom of
movement. Overalls or a
coverall are
recommended.
Avoid loose-fitting jackets, work coats,
scarves, neckties, jewellery or anything
that could become caught on wood or
brush.
4
Secure long hair (cap,
hard hat, etc.).
Wear steel-toed safety
boots with non-slip soles.
Wear a face shield or face
screen and safety
glasses for protection
from thrown objects.
Warning: A face shield or face screen
alone does not provide adequate eye
protection.
Wear hearing protection, e.g. ear plugs
or ear muffs.
Wear heavy-duty,
non-slip gloves,
preferably made of
leather.
STIHL has a full line of safety clothing
and equipment.
Transporting the Machine
Always turn off the engine.
Carry the unit suspended from the
shoulder strap or properly balanced by
the drive tube.
– Rotor blades in front of you.
– Hot muffler away from your body.
– Retract the spur, if fitted.
When the machine is not in use (work
break), shut it off so that it does not
endanger others.

Power Tool" in the MultiEngine
