If you have any condition that might be
aggravated by strenuous work, check
with your doctor before operating a
power tool.
Persons with pacemakers only: The
ignition system of your power tool
produces an electromagnetic field of a
very low intensity. This field may
interfere with some pacemakers. STIHL
recommends that persons with
pacemakers consult their physician and
the pacemaker manufacturer to reduce
any health risk.
Do not operate the power tool if you are
under the influence of any substance
(drugs, alcohol) which might impair
vision, dexterity or judgment.
Use your power tool only for the
applications described in the instruction
manual of the power tool attachment you
are using.
It must not be used for any other
purpose because of the increased risk of
accidents and damage to the machine.
Never attempt to modify your power tool
in any way since this may result in
accidents or damage to the machine.
Do not operate the
KombiAttachmentEngine without a
properly mounted power tool attachment
since this may result in damage to the
machine.
Only mount attachments and
accessories that are explicitly approved
for this power tool by STIHL or are
technically identical. It is important that
you read the chapter on "Approved
Attachments". If you have any questions
in this respect, consult a servicing
dealer. Use only high quality tools and
accessories in order to avoid the risk of
accidents and damage to the machine.
STIHL recommends the use of genuine
STIHL tools and accessories. They are
specifically designed to match the
product and meet your performance
requirements.
Never attempt to modify your unit in any
way since this may increase the risk of
personal injury. STIHL excludes all
