8 Maintenance, Repair and Storage
8.1 Warnings and Instructions
WARNING
￭ There are no user-authorized repairs for the hedge
trimmer, battery or charger. To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock or other personal injury and property
damage:
– Users may carry out only the cleaning and
maintenance operations described in this manual.
– Strictly follow the cleaning and maintenance
instructions in the appropriate sections of this
instruction manual.
– STIHL recommends that all repair work be
performed by authorized STIHL servicing dealers.
￭ Unintentional starting may result in personal injury or
property damage. To reduce the risk of personal injury
and property damage from unintentional starting:
￭ The cutting blades are the only user-serviceable parts of
the hedge trimmer. Proper maintenance will help maintain
cutting performance and reduce the risk of personal injury.
– Wear heavy-duty non-slip work gloves when
handling the cutting blades.
– Keep the cutting blades clean and sharp.
– Tighten all nuts, bolts and screws after each use.
– Never repair damaged cutting blades by welding,
straightening or modifying the shape. This may
cause parts of the cutting blades to experience
uneven or excessive wear or other damage that can
lead to a malfunction or breakage during operation,
resulting in serious or fatal injuries.
￭ Use of parts that are not authorized or approved by STIHL
may cause serious or fatal injury or property damage.
– STIHL recommends that only identical STIHL
replacement parts be used for repair or
maintenance.
￭ To reduce the risk of short circuit and fire:
– Keep the battery guides free of foreign matter. Clean
as necessary with a dry cloth or soft, dry brush.
￭ Improper storage can result in unauthorized use, damage
to the hedge trimmer and battery and charger, and an
increased risk of fire, electric shock and other personal
injury or property damage.
– Remove the battery from the hedge trimmer before
storing.
– Never store the hedge trimmer and charger with the
battery inserted.
– Store the hedge trimmer and battery and charger
indoors in a dry, secure place that cannot be
accessed by children or other unauthorized users.
– Never store the battery in the hedge trimmer, in the
charger, in a metal container or in a container with
metal objects (e.g., paper clips, nails, coins, keys).
￭ To reduce the risk of electric shock and other personal
injury or property damage when mounting the charger and
wall bracket:
– Ensure that no electrical cables, pipes or other
service lines run behind the wall where the charger
and wall bracket is to be mounted.
– Mount the charger and wall bracket only as
described in this manual.
8 Maintenance, Repair and Storage
– Remove the battery before inspecting
the hedge trimmer or carrying out any
cleaning, maintenance or repair work,
