WARNING
Always switch off the motor, move
retaining latch to ƒ, remove the battery
and make sure that the cutting tool is
stopped before doing any maintenance
or repair work or cleaning the power tool.
Do not attempt any maintenance or
repair work not described in your
instruction manual. Have such work
performed by your STIHL servicing
dealer only.
Wear gloves when handling or
performing maintenance on the blades.
WARNING
Never repair damaged cutting attach-
ments by welding, straightening or
modifying the shape. This may cause
parts of the cutting blades to come off
and result in serious or fatal injuries.
Keep the cutting blades sharp. Tighten
all nuts, bolts and screws after each use.
Regularly check the electrical contacts
and ensure that the insulation of the
power cord and plug of the charger is in
good condition and show no sign of
aging (brittleness).
Electrical components, e.g. power cord
of charger, may only be repaired or
replaced by a qualified electrician.
Clean plastic components with a cloth.
Do not use aggressive detergents. They
may damage the plastic.
Do not spray the machine with water.
Do not clean your machine with a
pressure washer. The solid jet of water
may damage parts of the machine.
Clean cooling air inlets in motor housing
as necessary.
Keep the battery guides free from
foreign matter – clean as necessary.
Store the power tool in a dry, locked
location with the retaining latch on ƒ,
the battery removed and out of reach of
children.
This chapter relays the prescribed
wording of general safety advice for
handheld motor-operated electric hedge
trimmers contained in UL 60745-1 and
UL 60745-2-15.
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings
refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Always move retaining
latch to ƒ and remove
the battery from the
power tool before carry-
ing out any repairs or
maintenance work, such
as replacing the cutting
blades. This avoids the
risk of the motor starting
unintentionally.
