Using The Unit - Stihl HSA 66 Gebrauchsanleitung

The period of usage is prolonged by:
Hand protection (wearing warm
–
gloves)
Work breaks
–
The period of usage is shortened by:
Any personal tendency to suffer
–
from poor circulation (symptoms:
frequently cold fingers, tingling
sensations).
Low outside temperatures.
–
The force with which the handles
–
are held (a tight grip restricts
circulation).
Continual and regular users should
monitor closely the condition of their
hands and fingers. If any of the above
symptoms appear (e.g. tingling
sensation in fingers), seek medical
advice.
Maintenance and Repairs
Always move the retaining latch to ƒ
and remove the battery before carrying
out any repairs or maintenance work on
the power tool. This avoids the risk of
the motor starting unintentionally.

not described in the instruction manual.
Have all other work performed by a
servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends that you have
servicing and repair work carried out

Only use high-quality replacement parts

questions in this respect, consult a
servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends the use of genuine
