Stihl FSE 60 Instruction Manual page 4

English
– The starting lockout lever and trigger switch
must move freely – the switch must return to
the idle position when it is released.
– Use only an approved combination of cutting
attachment, deflector, handle and carrying
strap. All parts must be assembled properly
and securely. To reduce the risk of injury,
never use metal cutting attachments!
– Check that the cutting attachment is properly
and securely mounted and in good condition.
– Check safety devices (e.g., deflector for cut‐
ting attachments) for damage and/or wear.
Always replace damaged parts. Never operate
the unit with a damaged deflector
– Keep the handles dry, clean and free from dirt,
for safe control of the power tool
– Adjust handle to suit your height and reach.
To reduce the risk of accidents and personal
injury, do not operate the unit if it is not in proper
condition!
Only operate the unit if all of its components are
undamaged and securely mounted.
Never attempt to modify the controls or safety
devices.
Before switching on your power tool, make sure
the cutting attachment is not touching the ground
or any other object.
Avoid contact with the cutting attach‐
ment – risk of injury!
Note that the cutting attachment con‐
tinues to run for a short period after
the power tool is switched off – fly‐
wheel effect.
Electrical connection.
Reduce the risk of electric shock:
– Voltage and frequency of the machine (see
rating plate) and the voltage and frequency of
your power supply must be the same.
– Examine the connecting cord, power plug and
extension cord for damage. Damaged cords,
couplings and plugs or connecting cords that
do not comply with the regulations must not be
used
– Always connect the engine analyzer to a prop‐
erly installed wall outlet.
– Check that the insulation of the connection
cable, extension cord, plug and coupling is in
good condition.
– Never touch the power plug, power cord and
extension cord, and electrical plug connec‐
tions with wet hands.

2 Safety Precautions and Working Techniques
– Any extension cords used must comply with
the specifications for the particular application
Position the connection cable and extension cord
correctly:
– Check minimum cross section of wires (wire
gauge) – see "Connecting to Power Supply".
– To reduce the risk of stumbling, position and
mark the connecting cord so that it cannot be
damaged or endanger others.
– Using unsuitable extension cords can be dan‐
gerous. Only use extension cords that are
approved for outdoor use, are appropriately
labeled and have a sufficient cable cross-sec‐
tion.
– The plug and coupling of the extension cord
must be water-proof and must never be
immersed in water.
– Do not allow cord to rub on edges or pointed
or sharp objects.
– don't trap or squeeze the cord in or under
doors or windows
– If cords are twisted – unplug the power tool
and straighten them out
– Never touch the rotating cutting attachment
– Always unwind the extension cord completely
from the cable reel to reduce the risk of fire
from overheating.
2.7 Holding and Guiding the Tool
Always hold the tool firmly with both hands on
the handles. Make sure you always have a firm
and secure footing.
Always hold the machine on the right-hand side
of your body.
Left hand on loop handle, right hand on control
handle, even if you are left-handed.
2.8 While Working
If the power cord is damaged, imme‐
diately disconnect the plug from the
wall outlet to avoid the risk of electric
shock.
