Do not leave the power tool outdoors in
the rain.
Your power tool is equipped with a
system designed to quickly stop the
cutting blades – they come to an
immediate standstill as soon as you
release the trigger switch or the switch
lever, or the auxiliary switch.
Check this function at regular, frequent
intervals. Do not operate the machine if
the cutting blades continue to run after
switching off – risk of injury! Contact a
dealer.
Take special care in slippery conditions
– damp, snow, ice, on slopes or uneven
ground!
Clear away fallen branches, scrub and
cuttings.
Watch out for obstacles such as tree
stumps, roots – risk of tripping or
stumbling!
When working at heights:
– Always use a lift bucket
– Never use the machine while
standing on a ladder or in a tree
– never work in an insecure standing
position
Be particularly alert and cautious when
wearing hearing protection because
your ability to hear warnings (shouts,
alarms, etc.) is restricted.
Take breaks when you start getting tired
or feeling fatigue – risk of accidents!
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight
conditions and only when visibility is
good. Proceed with caution, do not put
others in danger.
The gear head becomes hot during
operation. To reduce the risk of burn
injury, do not touch the gear housing!
If the machine is subjected to unusually
high loads for which it was not designed
(e.g., heavy impact or a fall), always
check that it is in good condition before
continuing work - refer also to the
chapter "Before starting work". Make
sure the safety devices are working
properly. Never use a power tool that is
no longer safe to operate. In case of
doubt, contact a dealer.
Inspect the hedge and work area to
avoid damaging the cutting blades:
– Remove stones, rocks, pieces of
metal and other solid objects
– When working close to the ground,
make sure that no sand, grit or
stones get between the cutting
blades
– Take particular care when cutting
hedges next to or against wire
fences
Do not touch electric power lines – never
cut through electric power lines – risk of
electrocution!
If the hedge is very dusty or dirty, spray
the cutting blades with STIHL resin
solvent from time to time during cutting.
This will significantly reduce blade
friction, the aggressive effects of sap
and the build-up of dirt particles.
The dust that occurs during operation
may be harmful to health. Wear a dust
mask in case of dust formation.
Never jerk the power cord to disconnect
it from the wall outlet. To unplug, grasp
the plug, not the cord.
Avoid damage to the power supply cord.
Do not drive over it, pinch or tug it.
Position the connecting and extension
cords correctly:
– Do not chafe on edges, pointed or
sharp objects
– don't trap or squeeze the cord in or
under doors or windows
– If cords are twisted – unplug the
power tool and straighten them out
– Always avoid contact with the
cutting attachment
– always completely unfurl the
connecting cord from the cable reel
to avoid risk of fire due to
overheating
Before leaving the power tool
unattended: Switch it off and disconnect
the plug from the power supply.
Do not touch the cutting
blades.while the engine
is running. If the cutting
blades become jammed
by thick branches or
other obstructions, switch
off immediately and dis-
connect the plug from the
power supply before
attempting to free the
blades.
If the power cord is dam-
aged, immediately
disconnect the plug from
the wall outlet to avoid
the risk of electric shock.
