!Warning!
Never modify a hedge cutter in any way.
Only attachments supplied by STIHL or
expressly approved by STIHL for use
with the specific STIHL hedge cutter
models are authorized. Although certain
unauthorized attachments may be
useable for the STIHL hedge cutter, their
use may, in fact, be extremely
dangerous. Never remove or disable
any safety devices.
USE OF THE HEDGE CUTTER
Transporting the hedge cutter
!Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury from blade
contact, never carry or transport the
hedge cutter with the cutter blades
running. The correct engine idle speed is
important in this respect. If the
carburetor setting is correct, the cutter
blades will be stationary at idle speed.
!Warning!
Always turn off the engine and make
sure the cutting attachment has stopped
before putting the unit down or carrying
it between work stations.
The hedge cutter may be carried only in
a horizontal position. Grip the shaft in a
manner that the machine is balanced
horizontally. Keep the hot muffler away
from your body and the cutting
attachment behind you.
Always switch off the engine and fit the
scabbard over the cutter blades before
transporting the hedge cutter over long
distances. When transporting your
hedge cutter in a vehicle, properly
secure it to prevent turnover, fuel
spillage and damage to the hedge cutter.
Preparation for the use of the hedge
cutter
!Warning!
Never use a hedge cutter that is
damaged or not properly maintained.
Always check your hedge cutter for
proper condition and operation before
starting, particularly the throttle trigger,
throttle trigger interlock, stop switch and
cutting tool. The throttle trigger must
move freely and always spring back in
the idle position.
The cutting tool must be properly
tightened and in safe operating
condition. Inspect for loose part (nuts,
screws, etc.) and for cracked, bent,
warped or damaged blades. Regularly
check the condition and tightness of the
cutter blades - with the engine stopped!
