Warning!
Inhalation of certain dusts, especially
organic dusts such as mold or pollen,
can cause susceptible persons to have
an allergic or asthmatic reaction. Sub-
stantial or repeated inhalation of dust
and other airborne contaminants, in par-
ticular those with a smaller particle size,
may cause respiratory or other ill-
nesses. Control dust at the source
where possible. Use good work prac-
tices, such as operating the unit so that
the wind or operating process directs
any dust raised by the power tool away
from the operator. Follow the recom-
mendations of EPA / OSHA / NIOSH
and occupational and trade associa-
tions with respect to dust ("particulate
matter.") When the inhalation of dust
cannot be substantially controlled, i.e.,
kept at or near the ambient (back-
ground) level, the operator and any
bystanders should wear a respirator
approved by NIOSH / MSHA for the type
of dust encountered.
If the hedge is very dusty or dirty, spray
the blades with STIHL resin solvent from
time to time during cutting. This helps
reduce blade friction as well as the
aggressive effects of sap and the build-
up of dirt particles.
Operating Instructions
Warning!
In the event of an emergency, switch off
the motor immediately, move retaining
latch to ƒ and remove the battery.

Warning!
Before you start work, examine the
hedge area for stones, fence wire, metal
or other solid objects which could dam-
age 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. Do not dam-
age the property of other persons
Danger!
Do not rely on the tool's
insulation against electric
shock. To reduce the risk
of electrocution, never
operate this power tool in
the vicinity of any wires or
cables (power, etc.) which may be car-
rying electric current.
Check the cutting blades at regular short
intervals during operation, or
immediately if there is a noticeable
change in cutting behavior:
– Switch off the motor.
– Move retaining latch to ƒ.
– Remove the battery.
– Check condition and tightness, look
for cracks.
– Check sharpness.
– Replace damaged or dull cutting
blades immediately, even if they
have only superficial cracks.
The drive motor is not
waterproof. Never work
with the power tool in the
rain or in wet or very
damp locations.
Do not leave the machine 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 and/or the
switch lever on the loop handle.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of
control, never work on a ladder, in a tree
or any other insecure support. Never
hold the machine above shoulder
height.
