WARNING
To reduce the risk of blade damage,
avoid contact with stones and the
ground. Resharpen the blade properly in
good time – dull teeth may result in the
blade cracking and shattering and
causing serious injury.
Risk of kickout
The risk of kickout is highest in the black
area of the blade: Do not use this area of
the circular saw blade for cutting.
There is also a risk of kickout when
using the lighter shaded areas of the
blade: These areas of the blade should
only be used by experienced operators
with specialized training.
STIHL recommends that you use the
non-shaded area of the circular saw
blade. Always start the cut with this area
of the blade.
Use your tea plant pruner only for cutting
and pruning tea bushes.
Preparations
N To reduce the risk of accidents or
injury, remove all obstacles and
objects from the work area.
N Before starting cutting work, scare
away small animals to ensure they
are not injured.
N Put on the harness – see "Fitting the
Harness".
N Start the engine – see
"Starting / Stopping the Engine".
N Put on the harness with machine –
see "Fitting the Harness".
WARNING
Do not operate your tea plant pruner
without the harness.
N Swing the tea plant pruner to and fro
at the same height while moving
forwards.
