In the STIHL MultiSystem a number of
different MultiEngines and MultiTools
can be combined to produce a power
tool. In this instruction manual the
functional unit formed by the
MultiEngine and MultiTool is referred to
as the power tool.
Therefore, the separate instruction
manuals for the MultiEngine and
MultiTool should be used together for
the power tool.
Always read and and make sure you
understand both instruction manuals
before using your power tool for the first
time and keep them in a safe place for
future reference.

Engineering improvements
STIHL's philosophy is to continually
improve all of its products. For this
reason we may modify the design,
engineering and appearance of our
products periodically.
Therefore, some changes, modifications
and improvements may not be covered
in this manual.
Observe all applicable local safety
regulations, e.g., by employers' liability
insurance associations, social insurance
systems, occupational safety
authorities, etc.
If you have never used a power tool
before: Have your dealer or other
experienced user show you how to
operate your machine – or attend a
special course to learn how to operate it.
Minors should never be allowed to use
the motorized device – except for
apprentices over the age of 16 when
working under supervision.
Children, animals and onlookers must
remain at a safe distance.

When not using the machine, it must be
laid down in such a way that it does not
endanger anyone. Ensure that the
machine cannot be used without
authorization.
The user is responsible for accidents or
risks involving third parties or their
property.
Lend or rent your power tool only to
persons who are familiar with this model
and its operation – do not lend or rent
your power tool without the MultiEngine
and MultiTool user manuals.
The use of noise emitting power tools
may be restricted to certain times by
national or local regulations.
Anyone operating the machine must be
well rested, in good physical health and
in a good state of mind.
If you have any condition that might be
aggravated by strenuous work, check
with your doctor before operating a
machine.
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
minimize any health risk.
Anyone who has consumed alcohol,
medications or drugs that impair their
ability to react must not operate a power
tool.
Use your power tool only for the
applications described in the user
manual of the MultiTool you are using.
The machine must not be used for any
other purposes – risk of accident!
Do not operate the MultiEngine without a
properly mounted MultiTool since this
may result in damage to the machine.
Only use MultiTools 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 MultiTools". If you
have any questions in this respect,
consult your dealer. Use only high-
quality parts 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 power tool
in any way since this may increase the
risk of personal injury. STIHL excludes
all liability for personal injury and
damage to property caused while using
unauthorized attachments.
Do not use a high-pressure washer to
clean the power tool. The solid jet of
water may damage parts of the unit.
Clothing and Equipment
Wear proper protective clothing and
equipment.
Do not wear clothing which could
become trapped in wood, brush or
moving parts of the machine. Do not
wear a scarf, necktie or jewelry. Tie up
and secure long hair above your
shoulders.
WARNING
Wear "personal" sound protection, e.g.
ear defenders.
Wear face protection and make sure it is
a good fit. Face protection alone is not
sufficient to protect the eyes.
See also notes on "Clothing and
Equipment" in the user manual of the
MultiTool you are using.
Transporting the machine
Always stop the engine.
Transport the machine by the handle or
loop handle, working tool facing forward.
Never touch hot parts – risk of burns!
Wear steel-toed safety
boots with non-slip soles.
To reduce the risk of eye
injuries, wear close-fit-
ting safety glasses in
accordance with Euro-
pean Standard EN 166.
Make sure the safety
glasses are a snug fit.
