Do not touch the cutting
blades while the engine
is
running. If the cutting
blades become jammed
by thick branches or
other obstructions, switch
off the engine
immedi-
ately before attempting
to
free the blades.
Opening the throttle while the blades are
blocked increases the. load
and reduces
engine speed. The clutch then slips
continuously and. this causes
overheating and damage to important
components (e.g: clutch, polYmer
housing components) - and this can
increase the risk
of
injury from the
blades moving while the engine
is
idling.
If
your power tool is subjected to
unusually high loads for which it was not
designed (e.g. heavy impact or a
fall),
always check that
it
is
in
good condition
before continuing work - see also
"Before Starting". Make sure the safety
devices are working properly. Do not
continue operating your power tool if it
is
damaged.
In
case
of
doubt, have the
machine checked by your servicing
dealer.
If
the hedge is very dusty
or
dirty, spray
the blades with
STIHL resin solvent from
time
to
time during cutting. This helps
reduce blade friction as
well as the
aggressive effects of sap and the
build-
.
upp~diJit.~".rticles.
The
dust
that occurs during operation
may
be
harmful to health.
If
dust levels
are very high,
wear a suitable respirator.
Check the cutting blades at regular short
intervals during operation
or
immediately
if
there is a noticeable
change
in
cutting behavior:
HL-KM
Shut
off
the engine.
Wait until the cutting blades have
come to a complete standstill.
Check condition and tightness, look
for cracks.
Check sharpness.
After finishing work or before leaving the
unit unattended:
Shut off the engine.
Always clean dust and dirt off the
machine - do not use any grease
solvents for this purpose.
Spray the blades with STIHL resin
solvent. Run the engine briefly so that
the solvent
is
evenly distributed.
