WARNING
Before you start work, examine the
hedge area for stones, fence wire, metal
or other solid objects which could
damage the cutting blades.
Take particular care when cutting
hedges next to or against wire fences.
Do not touch the wire with the cutting
blades. When working close to the
ground, make sure that no sand, grit or
stones get between the cutting blades.
Striking solid foreign objects such as
stones, fence wire or metal could
damage the cutting attachment and may
cause blades to crack, chip or break.
STIHL does not recommend the use of
your power tool when cutting in areas
where the blades could contact such
objects.
WARNING
Observe the cutting blades at all times –
do not cut any areas of the hedge that
you cannot see. When cutting the top of
a taller hedge, check the other side of
the hedge frequently for bystanders,
animals and obstructions. Do not
damage the property of other persons
WARNING
Do not rely on the tool’s
insulation against electric
shock. To reduce the risk
of electrocution, never
operate this power tool in
the vicinity of any wires or
cables (power, etc.) which may be
carrying electric current.
Check the cutting blades at regular short
intervals during operation, or
immediately if there is a noticeable
change in cutting behavior:
– Switch off the motor.
– Move retaining latch to ƒ.
– Remove the battery.
– Check condition and tightness, look
for cracks.
– Check sharpness.
– Replace damaged or dull cutting
blades immediately, even if they
have only superficial cracks.
Do not leave the machine outdoors in
the rain.
Your power tool is equipped with a
system designed to quickly stop the
cutting blades – they come to an
immediate standstill as soon as you
release the trigger switch and/or the
switch lever on the loop handle.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of
control, never work on a ladder, in a tree
or any other insecure support. Never
hold the machine above shoulder
height.
Be particularly alert and cautious when
wearing hearing protection because
your ability to hear warnings (shouts,
alarms, etc.) is restricted.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, always clean
plant residue, chips, leaves and excess
lubricant off the motor.
After Finishing Work
Always clean dust and dirt off the power
tool – do not use any grease solvents for
this purpose.
Spray the blades with STIHL resin
solvent. Run the motor briefly so that the
solvent is evenly distributed.
MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND
STORING
If you make a warranty claim for a
component which has not been serviced
or maintained properly or if
nonapproved replacement parts were
used, STIHL may deny coverage.
WARNING
Use only identical STIHL replacement
parts for maintenance and repair. Use of
non-STIHL parts may cause serious or
fatal injury.
Strictly follow the maintenance and
repair instructions in the appropriate
section of your instruction manual.
Please also refer to the maintenance
chart in this manual.
The drive motor is not
waterproof. Never work
with the power tool in the
rain or in wet or very
damp locations.
