outdoors, or dropped into water,
return it to your STIHL servicing
dealer.
6. Do not pull or carry by cord, use
cord as a handle, close a door on
cord, or pull cord around sharp
edges or corners. Keep cord away
from heated surfaces.

blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair,
and anything that may reduce air
flow.
10. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers
and all parts of body away from
openings and moving parts.
11. Turn off all controls before
unplugging.
12. Use extra care when cleaning on
stairs.

combustible liquids such as
gasoline or use in areas where they
may be present.

INSTRUCTIONS
Polarized Plug
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
equipment has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). This plug
will fit in a polarized outlet one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install
the proper outlet. Do not change the
plug in any way. Replace damaged
cords or have them repaired by your
authorized STIHL servicing dealer only.
Cord sets
Make sure your cord set is in good
condition. When using an extension cord
set, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw.
An undersized extension cord set will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. The
Table below shows the correct size to
use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Minimum wire gauge for extension cords
for 120 Volt appliances using 6 - 10
Amps (Cord types SJW or SJTW):
