Starting
!Warning!
Your hedge cutter
is a one-person
machine. Start and
operate your
hedge cutter
without
assistance. To reduce the risk of injury,
keep bystanders at least 15 m (50 ft)
away.
For specific starting instructions, see the
appropriate section of your owner's-
manual. Place the hedge cutter on firm
ground or other solid surface in an open
area. Maintain good balance and secure
footing.
!Warning!
When the engine starts at starting-
throttle, engine speed will be fast
enough for the clutch to engage and
move the cutting tool.
!Warning!
When you pull the starter grip, don't
wrap the starter rope around your hand.
Do not allow the grip to snap back, but
guide the starter rope to rewind properly.
Failure to follow this procedure may
result in injury to hand or fingers and
may damage the starter mechanism.
Catalytic converter
!Warning!
Some STIHL hedge cutter
models are equipped with
a catalytic converter,
which is designed to
reduce the exhaust
emissions of the engine
by a chemical process in the muffler.
Due to this process, the muffler does not
cool down as rapidly as conventional
mufflers when the engine returns to idle
or is shut off. To reduce the risk of fire
and burn injuries, the following specific
safety precautions must be observed.
!Warning!
Since a muffler with a catalytic converter
cools down less rapidly than conven-
tional mufflers, always set your hedge
cutter down in the upright position and
never locate it where the muffler is near
dry brush, grass, wood chips or other
combustible materials while it is still hot.
