Watch out for obstacles: Roots, tree
stumps or holes which could cause you
to trip or stumble.
When working at heights:
– Always use a lift bucket
– Never work on a ladder or in a tree
– Never work on an insecure support
Be particularly alert and cautious when
wearing hearing protection because
your ability to hear warnings (shouts,
alarms, etc.) is restricted.
To reduce the risk of accidents, take a
break in good time to avoid tiredness or
exhaustion.
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight
conditions and only when visibility is
good. Stay alert so as not to endanger
others.
If your power tool 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 – see also
"Before Starting Work". Make sure the
safety devices are working properly. Do
not continue operating your power tool if
it is damaged. In case of doubt, have the
machine checked by your servicing
dealer.
Inspect the hedge and work area to
avoid damaging the cutting blades:
34
– 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 blades.
– Take particular care when cutting
hedges next to or against wire
fences.
To avoid the risk of electrocution, do
not touch electric power lines – never cut
through electric power lines.
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 immedi-
ately and remove the
battery before attempting
to free the blades.
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.
The dust that occurs during operation
may be harmful to health. If dust levels
are very high, wear a suitable respirator.
Before leaving the power tool
unattended: Switch off the motor and
remove the battery.
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, wait for the
cutting blades to come to a
standstill, remove the battery.
– Check condition and tightness, look
for cracks.
– Check sharpness.
Always switch off the motor and remove
the battery before replacing the cutting
blades. This avoids the risk of injury
from the motor starting unintentionally.
To reduce the risk of fire, always clean
plant residue, chips, leaves and excess
lubricant off the motor.
After Finishing Work
Always clean dust and dirt off the power
tool – do not use any grease solvents for
this purpose.
Spray the blades with STIHL resin
solvent. Run the motor briefly so that the
solvent is evenly distributed.
Maintenance and Repairs
Always remove the bat-
tery from the power tool
before carrying out any
repairs or maintenance
work. This avoids the risk
of the motor starting
unintentionally.
Service the machine regularly. Do not
attempt any maintenance or repair work
not described in the instruction manual.
Have all other work performed by a
servicing dealer.
