WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injuries, keep hands,
feet and other parts of the body away from the cutting
blades. Do not touch the cutting blades while the connecting

your hand or any part of your body, @ 6.5.2. Keep
bystanders out of the area while testing the controls.

fingers wrapped tightly around the handles.
► Unlock the retaining latch by pushing it forward with your
thumb.
► Hold the retaining latch in the unlocked position.
► Depress the trigger switch lockout and the trigger switch
only. Do not depress the switch lever.
The cutting blades should not start moving. If they do start
moving, take the hedge trimmer to an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer to be repaired before use.
► Next, hold the hedge trimmer firmly with both hands, your
fingers wrapped tightly around the handles. Switch on the
hedge trimmer by depressing the trigger switch lockout,
the trigger switch and the switch lever momentarily. The
blades should start moving. Release the trigger switch or
switch lever. The blades should stop moving.
If the cutting blades do not start when you depress the
trigger switch and switch lever, or if they do not stop after
you release the trigger switch or switch lever, remove the
connecting cord and take the hedge trimmer to an
authorized STIHL servicing dealer to be repaired before use.
17.1 Selecting the Power Level
The unit can be operated at three different power settings,
indicated by LEDs on the control handle. The higher the
power level, the faster the cutting blades will move.
To set the power level:
► Push the retaining latch (1) forward with your thumb.
The LEDs indicate the power level.
► Push the retaining latch forward, hold it for approximately
1 second to activate the next power level.
Performing this operation at the highest power level will
cause the unit to return to the first power level.
Generally, battery life will be shorter when operating the
hedge trimmer continuously at the higher power levels.
