26 General Power Tool Safety Warnings

26 General Power Tool Safety
Warnings
26.1 Introduction
This chapter reproduces the pre-formulated, gen‐
eral safety precautions specified in the
IEC 62841 standard for hand-held motor-oper‐
ated electric tools.
STIHL is obliged to publish these texts.
The safety precautions and warnings on avoiding
an electric shock given under "Electrical Safety"
do not apply to STIHL cordless products.
WARNING
■ Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustra‐
tions and specifications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions lis‐
ted below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and
instructions for future reference.
The term "electric power tool" in the safety warn‐
ings refers to mains-operated (corded) power
tools or battery-operated (cordless) power tools.
26.2 Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
26.3 Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed (groun‐
ded) power tools.Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
