Allow only persons who fully understand
this manual to operate your hedge
trimmer.
To receive maximum performance and
satisfaction from your STIHL hedge
trimmer, it is important that you read,
understand and follow the safety
precautions and the operating and
maintenance instructions in chapter
"Safety Precautions and Working
Techniques" before using your hedge
trimmer.
Contact your STIHL dealer or the STIHL
distributor for your area if you do not

manual.
WARNING
Because a hedge trimmer is a high-
speed, fast-cutting power tool with sharp
cutting blades, special safety
precautions must be observed to reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock and
personal injury. Careless or improper
use may cause serious or even fatal
injury.
