Operating Instructions
WARNING
In the event of an emergency, release
one or both switches immediately to stop
the movement of the cutting blades.
WARNING
Before you start work, examine the
hedge area for stones, fence wire, metal
or other solid objects which could
damage 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.

WARNING
When using the electric hedge trimmer,
always keep the power supply cord and
extension cord behind you and away
