the risk of severe personal injury or death from
loss of control, and to reduce the risk of dam‐
age to the hedge trimmer:
– Inspect the material to be cut and the sur‐
rounding area for stones, fence wire,
metal or other foreign objects before start‐

areas where the cutting blades could con‐
tact such objects.

shrub or other vegetation that you cannot

■ To reduce the risk of injury to bystanders:
– Do not allow other persons in the general
work area.
– If cutting the top of a taller hedge, check
the other side of the hedge frequently for
bystanders, animals and obstructions.
■ Check the cutting blades at regular short inter‐
vals during operation, or immediately if there is
a change in cutting behavior:
– Switch off the hedge trimmer and remove
the battery.
– Check the condition, tightness and sharp‐
ness of the cutting blades.
– Inspect the hedge trimmer for loose parts
(nuts, screws, etc.) and for cracked, bent,
warped or damaged cutting blades.
Replace damaged cutting blades before
using the hedge trimmer.
– Always keep the cutting blades sharp.
■ To reduce blade friction and the buildup of dirt,
which can interfere with the proper functioning
of the hedge trimmer:
– STIHL recommends that you spray the
cutting blades with a resin solvent, such
as STIHL Resin Remover and Lubricant,
before starting work.
