Before Starting Work
Check that your power tool is properly
assembled and in good condition – refer
to appropriate chapters in the User
Manual:
– Voltage and frequency of the
machine (see rating plate) and the
voltage and frequency of your
power supply must be the same.
– Examine the connecting cord,
power plug and extension cord for
damage. Damaged cords,
couplings and plugs or connecting
cords that do not comply with the
regulations must not be used
– Extension cord sockets must be
splash-proof
– To reduce the risk of stumbling,
position and signpost the
connecting cord so that it cannot be
damaged or endanger others
– Trigger switch lockout, trigger,
switch lever and auxiliary switch
must move freely and return to the
idle position when they are
released.
– Cutting blades must be properly
tightened and in safe operating
condition (clean, sharp, not bent or
warped), correctly mounted and
thoroughly sprayed with STIHL
resin solvent (lubricant)
– Check cutter guard (if fitted) for
damage
– Never attempt to modify the controls
or safety devices
– Keep the handles dry and clean –
free from oil and dirt – this is
important for safe control of the
machine
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do
not operate your power tool if it is
damaged or not properly assembled!
To reduce the risk of electric shock:
– Always connect the engine analyzer
to a properly installed wall outlet.
– Any extension cords used must
comply with the specifications for
the particular application
– Check that the insulation of the
power cord, extension cord, plug
and coupling is in good condition
Holding and guiding the machine
Always hold the unit firmly with both
hands on the handles. Wrap your fingers
and thumbs around the handles.
Right-handed users
Right hand on the control handle and left
hand on the loop handle.
Left-handed users
Left hand on the control handle and right
hand on the loop handle.
Make sure you always have a secure
footing and hold the machine so that the
cutting blades are always facing away
from your body.
While working
In case of imminent danger or in an
emergency, switch off the motor
immediately – release the trigger or
switch lever or trigger or auxiliary switch.
Ensure that there are no other people
within the working area.
Watch the cutting blades at all times – do
not cut areas of the hedge that you
cannot see.
Be extremely careful when cutting tall
hedges, check the other side of the
hedge before starting work.
