Stihl RL-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
blades, tools or 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
STIHL safety combination
are recommended.
Avoid loose-fitting jackets, work coats,
scarves, neckties, jewellery or anything
that could become caught on wood or
brush.
4
Tie up and secure long
hair (cap, hard hat, etc.).
Wear steel-toed safety
boots with non-slip soles.
To reduce the risk of injury
to your eyes from thrown
objects, always wear
safety glasses and a
face shield.
Warning! A face shield alone does not
provide adequate eye protection.
Wear hearing protection (ear plugs or
ear muffs).
Wear heavy-duty, non-
slip gloves, preferably
made of leather.
STIHL offers a comprehensive line of
safety clothing and equipment.
Transporting the Machine
Always turn off the engine. Carry the
machine by the carrying handle.
– Blades in front of you.
– Hot muffler away from your body.
When the machine is not in use (work
break), shut it off so that it does not
endanger others.

Power Tool" in the MultiEngine
