Equipment and features

This instruction manual may refer to

several models with different

features. Components that are not

installed on all models and related

applications are marked with an

asterisk (*). Such components may

be available as special accessories

from your STIHL dealer.

Engineering improvements

STIHL’s philosophy is to continually

improve all of its products. As a result,

engineering changes and improvements

are made from time to time. If the

operating characteristics or the

appearance of your machine differ from

those described in this manual, please

contact your STIHL dealer for

assistance.

Therefore some changes, modifications

and improvements may not be covered

in this manual.

Warning!

Because a MultiEngine

equipped with an

dethatcher MultiTool is a

powerful tool, special

safety precautions must

be observed to reduce the

risk of personal injury.

It is important that you

read, fully understand and

observe the following

safety precautions and

warnings. Read the

instruction manuals and

the safety instructions of your

MultiEngine and MultiTool periodically.

Careless or improper use of any power

tool may cause serious or fatal injury.

Have your STIHL dealer show you how

to operate your power tool. Observe all

applicable local safety regulations,

standards and ordinances.

!Warning!

Do not lend or rent your power tool

without the instruction manuals. Be sure

that anyone using your power tool

understands the information contained

in these manuals.

!Warning!

The use of any dethatcher may be

hazardous. If the attachment tool comes

in contact with your body, it will injure

you. Solid foreign objects such as rocks

or bits of metal can damage the tool.

STIHL does not recommend the use of a

dethatcher in stony areas.

!Warning!

Minors should never be allowed to use a

power tool. Bystanders, especially

children, and animals should not be

allowed in the area where a power tool is

in use!

Never let the dethatcher run unattended.

Most of these safety precautions and

warnings apply to the use of all STIHL

dethatchers. Different models may have

different parts and controls. See the

appropriate sections of your MultiEngine

and MultiTool instruction manuals for a

description of the controls and function

of the parts of your power tool model.

Safety Precautions and

Working Techniques

English

MF-MM

Safe use of a power tool involves

1. the operator

2. the power tool

3. the use of the power tool.

THE OPERATOR

Physical Condition

You must be in good physical condition

and mental health and not under the

influence of any substance (drugs,

alcohol, etc.) which might impair vision,

dexterity or judgment. Do not operate a

power tool when you are fatigued.

Be alert – if you get tired while operating

your power tool, take a break. Tiredness

may result in loss of control. Working

with any power tool can be strenuous. If

you have any condition that might be

aggravated by strenuous work, check

with your doctor before operating a

dethatcher.

!Warning!

Prolonged use of a power tool (or other

machines) exposing the operator to

vibrations may produce whitefinger

disease (Raynaud's phenomenon) or

carpal tunnel syndrome.

These conditions reduce the hand's

ability to feel and regulate temperature,

produce numbness and burning

sensations and may cause nerve and

circulation damage and tissue necrosis.

All factors which contribute to white-

finger disease are not known, but cold

weather, smoking and diseases or

physical conditions that affect blood

vessels and blood transport, as well as

high vibration levels and long periods of

exposure to vibration are mentioned as

factors in the development of whitefinger

disease. In order to reduce the risk of

whitefinger disease and carpal tunnel

syndrome, please note the following:

– Wear gloves and keep your hands

warm.

– Maintain a firm grip at all times, but

do not squeeze the handles with

constant, excessive pressure and

take frequent breaks.

All the above mentioned precautions do

not guarantee that you will not sustain

whitefinger disease or carpal tunnel

syndrome. Therefore continual and

regular users should closely monitor the

condition of their hands and fingers. If

any of the above symptoms appear,

seek medical advice immediately.

Proper Clothing

!Warning!

To reduce the risk of injury, the operator

should wear proper protective apparel.

!Warning!

To reduce the risk of injury

to your eyes never

operate a dethatcher

unless wearing goggles or

properly fitted protective

glasses with adequate top

and side protection complying with

ANSI Z 87.1 (or your applicable national

standard).

5MF-MM

English

!Warning!

Dethatcher and engine

noise may damage your

hearing. Wear sound

barriers (ear plugs or ear

mufflers) to protect your

hearing. Continual and

regular users should have their hearing

checked regularly.

Protect your hands with

gloves when handling the

power tool and the

attachment. Heavy-duty,

nonslip gloves improve

your grip and protect your

hands.

Clothing must be sturdy

and snug-fitting, but allow

complete freedom of

movement.

Avoid loose-fitting jackets,

scarves, neckties, jewelry,

flared or cuffed pants,

unconfined long hair or

anything that could

become caught on

branches, brush or moving parts of the

unit.

Wear long pants made of heavy material

to protect your legs. Do not wear shorts,

pants, sandals or go bare foot. Secure

hair so it is above shoulder level.

Good footing is most

important in dethatcher

work. Wear sturdy boots

with nonslip soles. Steel-

toed safety boots are

recommended.

Wear an approved safety

hard hat to reduce the risk

of injury to your head

when there is a danger of

head injuries.

THE MF-MM DETHATCHER

MULTITOOL

For illustrations and definitions of the

dethatcher MultiTool parts see the

chapter on "Main Parts".

!Warning!

Never modify a MultiTool in any way.

Only attachments supplied by STIHL or

expressly approved by STIHL for use

with the specific STIHL power tool

models are authorized. Although certain

unauthorized attachments may be

useable on the STIHL power tool, their

use may, in fact, be extremely

dangerous.

THE USE OF THE DETHATCHER

Transporting the Dethatcher

!Warning!

Always turn off the engine and make

sure the attachment has stopped before

putting a dethatcher down. When

transporting your dethatcher in a

vehicle, properly secure it to prevent

turnover, fuel spillage and damage to the

dethatcher.

Prepartions before Using the Power

Tool

Before starting work, swing the

handlebar into the normal working

position and tighten it down with the

rotary knob. See chapter on "Adjusting

Handlebar" in the MultiEngine

instruction manual.

Always check your dethatcher for proper

condition and operation before starting,

particularly the throttle trigger, throttle

trigger interlock (and if applicable stop

switch), attachment and deflector.

The throttle trigger must move freely and

always spring back in the idle position.

The attachment must be properly

tightened and in safe operating

condition. Inspect for loose parts (nuts,

screws, etc.) and for cracked, bent,

warped or damaged parts.

English

MF-MM

Fueling

Your STIHL product uses an oil-gasoline

mixture for fuel. For further instructions

see the safety precautions and the

chapter on "Fuel" in the MultiEngine

instruction manual.

!Warning!

Gasoline is an extremely

flammable fuel. If spilled

and ignited by a spark or

other ignition source, it

can cause fire and serious

burn injury or property

damage. Use extreme caution when

handling gasoline or fuel mix.

Do not smoke or bring any fire, spark or

flame near the fuel or dethatcher.

Operating notes

The power tool may only be used for the

jobs described in the owner's manual.

!Warning!

Your power tool is a one-person

machine.

To reduce the risk of eye and other injury

insure that bystanders are at least 16 ft

(5 m) away. Bystanders should be

encouraged to wear eye protection. Stop

the engine immediately if you are

approached. Start and operate your

dethatcher without assistance.

Before Starting

Always check your power tool for proper

condition and operation before starting –

refer to appropriate sections in the

instruction manuals.

!Warning!

To reduce risk of injury from MultiTool

rotating in the wrong direction, check

that the position of the gearbox is correct

and change it if necessary.

On metal tools (top illustration), position

the gearbox so that the shaft is below

the drive tube.

On sweeping tools (bottom illustration),

position the gearbox so that the shaft is

above the drive tube.

MF-MM

!Warning!

To reduce the risk of injury

from loss of control, be

absolutely sure that the

attachment can turn freely

when the engine is

started. When the engine

is started in the START position, engine

speed will be fast enough for the clutch

to engage and turn the attachment.

Working Conditions

Operate and start your power tool only

outdoors in a well ventilated area.

Operate the dethatcher under good

visibility and daylight conditions only.

Work carefully.

!Warning!

Your power tool produces

toxic exhaust fumes as

soon as the engine is

running. These gases

(e.g. carbon monoxide)

may be colorless and

odorless. To reduce the risk of serious or

fatal injury from inhaling toxic fumes,

never run the dethatcher indoors or in

poorly ventilated locations.

!Warning!

Use of this product can generate dust

and fumes containing chemicals known

to cause respiratory disease, cancer,

birth defects, or other reproductive

harm. If you are unfamiliar with the risks

associated with the particular dust or

fume at issue, consult your employer,

governmental agencies such as OSHA

and NIOSH and other sources on

hazardous materials. The State of

California and some other authorities,

for instance, have published lists of

substances known to cause cancer,

reproductive toxicity, etc.

Control dust and fumes at the source

where possible. In this regard use good

work practices and follow the

recommendations of OSHA/NIOSH and

occupational and trade associations.

When the inhalation of toxic dust and

fumes cannot be eliminated, the

operator and any bystanders should

always wear a respirator rated for the

substance at hand by its manufacturer

and approved by NIOSH/MSHA for the

type of dust and / or fumes encountered.

Holding and Controlling the

Power Tool

Always hold the power tool firmly with

both hands. Wrap your fingers tightly

around the handles, keeping the

handles cradled between your thumb

and forefinger. Keep your hands in this

position to have your power tool under

control at all times. Make sure your

dethatcher handles and grips are in

good condition and free of moisture,

pitch, oil or grease.

!Warning!

Never attempt to operate any dethatcher

with one hand. Loss of control of the

dethatcher may result in serious or fatal

injury.

469BA045 KN

9MF-MM

English

!Warning!

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times. Special care

must be taken in slippery conditions (wet

ground, snow) and in difficult, overgrown

terrain. Watch for hidden obstacles such

as tree stumps, roots and ditches to

avoid stumbling. Be extremely cautious

when working on slopes or uneven

ground.

Operate the dethatcher only at a normal

walking pace.

!Warning!

Be extremely cautious when pulling the

dethatcher towards you because of the

risk of injury from contact with the

attachment.

Be extremely cautious when changing

direction with the dethatcher – especially

on slopes.

!Warning!

Never work on steep slopes because of

the risk of injury through loss of control

of the dethatcher.

Before starting work,

inspect the area for

stones, glass, pieces of

metal, trash or other solid

objects. Such objects may

damage the attachment.

Do not use the dethatcher on gravel

surfaces.

!Warning!

To reduce the risk of injury from contact

with the attachment, never operate a

dethatcher without a properly mounted

deflector.

To reduce the risk of

injury, keep your hands

and feet well away from

the attachment.

!Warning!

Never touch a rotating attachment with

your hand or any part of your body. The

attachment continues to rotate for a

short period after the throttle trigger is

released (flywheel effect).

!Warning!

Do not operate using the starting throttle

lock as you do not have control of the

engine speed. See section of your

MultiEngine instruction manual on the

proper use of the slide control.

If the attachment or deflector becomes

clogged or stuck, always turn off the

engine and make sure the attachment

has stopped before cleaning. Grass,

moss, weeds, etc. should be cleaned off

the attachment as necessary.

!Warning!

During operation, check the tightness

and the condition of the attachment at

regular intervals. If the behavior of the

attachment changes, stop the engine

immediately and check the attachment.

Replace bent, worn or damaged

attachments immediately. Such

attachments may shatter at high speed

and cause serious or fatal injury.
