dust (“particulate matter”). When the
inhalation of dust cannot be
substantially controlled, i.e., kept at or
near the ambient (background) level, the
operator and any bystanders should
wear a respirator approved by
NIOSH/MSHA for the type of dust
encountered.
Operating Instructions
WARNING
In the event of an emergency, release
one or both switches immediately to stop
the movement of the cutting blades.
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.
DANGER
WARNING
When using the electric hedge trimmer,
always keep the power supply cord and
extension cord behind you and away
from the cutting tool. Never drape the
cord over the hedge being trimmed.
Always ensure that your power cords do
not become entangled with obstacles or
objects. Damaged cords may cause
electrocution.
WARNING
Avoid damage to the power cords. Keep
cords away from heat, oil and sharp
edges. Never carry hedge trimmer by
power cord or yank power cord or
extension cord to disconnect the plug
from the wall outlet. To unplug, grasp the
plug not the cord.
WARNING
If the blades become clogged or stuck,
always release the switches, disconnect
the plug, and make sure the cutting tool
has stopped, before cleaning. Debris,
etc. should be cleaned off the cutting
tool at regular intervals.
Check the cutting blades at regular short
intervals during operation, or
immediately if there is a noticeable
change in cutting behavior:
– Disconnect the hedge trimmer from
the power supply.
– Wait until the cutting blades have
come to a complete standstill.
– Check condition and tightness; look
for cracks.
– Check sharpness.
– Replace damaged or dull cutting
tools immediately, even if they have
only superficial cracks.
After Finishing Work
Always clean dust and dirt off the
machine – do not use any grease
solvents for this purpose.
Spray the blades with STIHL resin
solvent. Start and run the motor briefly
so that the solvent is evenly distributed.
