Stihl FS 45 Instruction Manual page 5

English
Only mount cutting tools or accessories
that are explicitly approved for this
power tool model by STIHL or are
technically identical. If you have any
questions in this respect, consult a
specialist dealer. To reduce the risk of
accidents or damage to the machine,
use only high quality tools and
replacement parts.
STIHL recommends the use of STIHL
original tools and accessories. The
characteristics of these components are
specifically designed to match your
machine and meet your performance
requirements.
The deflector on this trimmer cannot
protect the operator from all objects
thrown by the cutting tool (stones, glass,
wire, etc.). Such objects may ricochet
and then hit the operator.

Clothing and Equipment
Wear proper protective clothing and
equipment.
Clothing must be sturdy
but allow complete
freedom of movement.
Wear snug-fitting clothing,
e.g. an overall and jacket
combination, do not wear
a work coat.
Do not wear garments that could
become entangled with wood, scrub or
rotating parts of the machine. Avoid
loose-fitting jackets, scarves, neckties,
jewellery or anything that could get
caught on wood, brush or rotating parts
of the machine. Tie up and confine long
hair (e.g. with a hair net, cap, hard hat,
etc.).
Wear sturdy 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 (earplugs or ear
muffs).
Wear heavy-duty
gloves, preferably made
of leather.
STIHL offers a comprehensive range of
safety clothing and equipment.
