WARNING
To reduce the risk of
injury to your eyes never
operate your power tool
unless wearing goggles
or properly fitted protec -
tive glasses with
adequate top and side
protection complying with
ANSI Z87 "+" (or your
applicable national
standard).
Power tool noise may damage your
hearing. If you use the hedge trimmer for
more than a couple hours in a day,
STIHL recommends that you wear
sound barriers (ear plugs or ear
mufflers) to protect your hearing.
Continual and regular users should have
their hearing checked regularly.
Be particularly alert and cautious when
wearing hearing protection because
your ability to hear warnings (shouts,
alarms, etc.) is restricted.
Always wear heavy duty
work gloves (e.g. made of
leather or other wear
resistant material) when
handling the machine
and the cutting tool.
Heavy-duty, nonslip
gloves improve your grip
and help to protect your
hands.

Clothing must be sturdy
and snug-fitting, but allow
complete freedom of
movement. Wear long
pants made of heavy
material to help protect
your legs. Do not wear
shorts, sandals or go
barefoot.
Avoid loose-fitting jackets, scarfs,
neckties, jewelry, flared or cuffed pants,
unconfined long hair or anything that
could become caught on branches,
brush or the moving parts of the unit.
Secure hair so it is above shoulder level.
Good footing is very
important. Wear sturdy
boots with nonslip soles.
Steel-toed safety boots
are recommended.
THE POWER TOOL
For illustrations and definitions of the
power tool parts see the chapter on
"Main Parts and Controls."
WARNING
Never modify this power tool in any way.
Only attachments supplied by STIHL or
expressly approved by STIHL for use
with the specific STIHL model are
authorized. Although certain
unauthorized attachments are useable
with STIHL power tools, their use may,
in fact, be extremely dangerous.
If this 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. Check in particular that
the controls and safety devices such as
the trigger switch, front handle switch
lever, hand guard, mechanical sprocket
brake (see section "Preparation for use")
and integral blade guard are working
properly. Do not continue operating this
machine if it is damaged. In case of
doubt, have it checked by your STIHL
servicing dealer.
THE USE OF THE POWER TOOL
Electrical Precautions
WARNING
The voltage of the power supply must
agree with the voltage specified on the
hedge trimmer's rating plate. Improper
voltage will damage the hedge trimmer
and may cause personal injury.
See other electrical warnings in this
chapter and in the "General Power Tool
Safety Warnings" chapter of this
manual.
Transporting the Electric Hedge

To reduce the risk of injury from blade

power tool with the cutter blades
moving.
