removed! Replace damaged cutting
blades before using the power tool.
Always keep blades sharp.
STIHL recommends that you always
spray the cutting blades with STIHL
resin solvent before starting work – with
the motor stopped, retaining latch on ƒ
and battery removed! You can obtain
this protective spray from your dealer.
Apply generously.
Check contacts in battery compartment
for foreign matter. Keep clean.
Fit the battery correctly – it must engage
audibly.
For specific starting instructions, see the
appropriate section of your instruction
manual.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from blade
contact, be absolutely sure that the
cutting blades are clear of you and all
other obstructions and objects, including
the ground.
WARNING
Your power tool is a one-person
machine. Do not allow other persons in
the general work area, even when
starting.
During Operation
Holding and Controlling the Power Tool
Always hold the unit firmly with both
hands on the handles while you are
working. Wrap your fingers and thumbs

Right-Handers
Right hand on the control handle and left
hand on the loop handle.
Left-Handers
Left hand on the control handle and right
hand on the loop handle.
Make sure you have firm and secure
footing and hold the unit so that the
cutting blades are always away from
your body.
WARNING
Never attempt to operate
your power tool with one
hand. Loss of control of
the power tool resulting in
serious or fatal injury may
result. To reduce the risk
of cut injuries, keep
hands and feet away
from the cutting blades.
Never touch moving cut-
ting blades with your
hand or any other part of
your body. Do not touch
the cutting blades while
the motor is running. If
the cutting blades
become jammed by thick
branches or other
obstructions, switch off
the motor immediately,
move retaining latch to ƒ
and remove the battery
before attempting to free
the blades.
WARNING
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Special care
must be taken in slippery conditions (wet
ground, snow) and in difficult, overgrown
terrain. Watch for hidden obstacles such
as tree stumps, roots and ditches to
avoid stumbling. For better footing, clear
away fallen branches, scrub and
cuttings. Be extremely cautious when
working on slopes or uneven ground.
Working Conditions
Operate your power tool only under
good visibility and daylight conditions
only. Work carefully.
