dizziness, or impaired concentration –
these symptoms may possibly be the
result of too-high exhaust gas
concentration – Risk of accidents!
Operate your power tool so that it
produces a minimum of noise and
emissions – do not run the engine
unnecessarily, accelerate the engine
only when working.
To reduce the risk of fire, do not smoke
while operating or standing near your
power tool. Combustible fuel vapor may
escape from the fuel system.
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". Check in particular
that the fuel system has no leaks and the
safety equipment is fully operative.
Never use a power tool that is no longer
safe to operate. In case of doubt, contact
a dealer.
Do not operate your power tool in the
starting throttle position – engine speed
cannot be controlled in this position.
Inspect the hedge and work area to
avoid damaging the cutting blades:
Remove stones, rocks, pieces of
–
metal and other solid objects
Ensure that no sand or small stones
–
get between the cutting blades, e.g.
when working close to the ground.
When cutting hedges next to or
–
against wire fences, do not touch
wire with the cutting blades
Do not touch electric power lines – never
cut through electric power lines – risk of
electrocution!

Do not touch the cutting
blades.while the engine
is running. If the cutting
blades become jammed
by an object, switch off
the engine immediately
before attempting to
remove the object – risk
of injury!
Opening the throttle when the cutting
blades are jammed increases the load
and reduces the working speed of the
engine. The clutch then slips
continuously and this causes
overheating and damage to important
components (e.g. clutch, plastic housing
components) – as a result, there is a risk
of injury! from the idling cutting blades
If the hedge is very dusty or dirty, spray
the cutting blades with STIHL resin
solvent from time to time during cutting.
This will significantly reduce blade
friction, the aggressive effects of sap
and the build-up of dirt particles.
The dust which is generated during
operation may be harmful to health.
Wear a dust mask in case of dust
formation.
Before you leave the machine: Shut the
engine off.
Check the cutting blades at regular short
intervals during operation or
immediately if there is a noticeable
change in cutting behavior:
Shut off the engine
–
Wait for cutting blades to come to a
–
standstill
Check the condition and firm seat,
–
watch out for fine cracks
Ensure that the cutting blades are
–
sharp
Always clean plant residue, chips,
leaves and excess lubricant off the
engine and muffler – risk of fire!
After finishing work
Always clean dust and dirt off the
machine – do not use any grease
solvents for this purpose.
Spray the cutting blades with STIHL
resin solvent. Run the motor briefly so
that the solvent is evenly distributed.
Vibrations
Prolonged use of the power tool may
result in vibration-induced circulation
problems in the hands (whitefinger
disease).
No general recommendation can be
given for the length of usage because it
depends on several factors.
The period of usage is prolonged by:
Hand protection (wearing warm
–
gloves)
Work breaks
–
