General Power Tool Safety
Warnings
This chapter relays the pre-worded
general safety advice for handheld
motorized electrical power tools
contained in the EN 60745, UL 60745
and CSA 60745 standards. STIHL is
obligated to reprint the text of these
standards word for word.
Read all the safety advice and
instructions. Failure to observe
the safety advice and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire
and / or serious injury.
Keep all the safety advice and
instructions in a safe place for future
reference.
The term "electrical tool" used in the
safety advice refers to electrical tools
powered by mains electricity (by means
of a mains lead) and electrical tools
powered by rechargeable batteries
(without a mains lead).
MSA 160 C
1) Workplace safety
a) Keep your working area clean
and well lit. Untidy or poorly lit
working areas can lead to
accidents.
b) Do not work with the device in
potentially explosive
environments in which there are
inflammable liquids, gases or
dusts. Electrical power tools create
sparks, which can ignite dusts or
fumes.
c) Keep children and other people
away while you are operating the
electrical tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control of the
device.
2) Electrical safety
a) The mains plug on the device
must match the mains socket.
The plug must not be modified in
any way. Do not use an adapter
plug with devices fitted with a
protective earth. Unmodified plugs
and matching sockets reduce the
risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid touching earthed surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ovens
and refrigerators with any part of
your body. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed.
c) Keep the device away from rain
or moisture. Water entering an
electrical device increases the risk
of electric shock.
d) Do not use the mains lead for any
purpose for which it was not
intended, e.g. to carry the device,
to hang up the device or to pull
the mains plug out of the mains
socket. Keep the mains lead
away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts of the device.
Damaged or tangled mains leads
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When working outdoors with an
electrical power tool always use
extension cables that are also
approved for use outdoors. The
use of an extension cable suitable
for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
f) Use a residual current device
(RCD) for protection if operating
the electrical power tool in a
moist environment is
unavoidable. The use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Remain alert at all times, watch
what you are doing and always
proceed with caution. Do not use
the device if you are tired or
under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. One
moment of carelessness when
using the device can lead to serious
injury.
b) Wear personal protective
equipment and always wear
safety glasses. The wearing of
personal protective equipment such
as dust masks, non-slip safety
