Working Conditions
WARNING
Never attempt to use an electric hedge
trimmer in locations where there is a
potential for explosive or flammable
atmospheres.
Operate your power tool under good
visibility and daylight conditions only.
Work carefully.
Do not cut any material other than
hedges or similar soft vegetation. Do not
cut stems greater than 17 mm (0.7 inch)
thick.
WARNING
If the vegetation being cut or the
surrounding ground is coated with a
chemical substance (such as an active
pesticide or herbicide), read and follow
the instructions and warnings that
accompanied the substance at issue.
WARNING
Inhalation of certain dusts, especially
organic dusts such as mold or pollen,
can cause susceptible persons to have
an allergic or asthmatic reaction.
Substantial or repeated inhalation of
dust and other airborne contaminants, in
particular those with a smaller particle
size, may cause respiratory or other
illnesses. Control dust at the source
where possible. Use good work
practices, such as operating the unit so
that the wind or operating process
directs any dust raised by the power tool
away from the operator. Follow the
recommendations of EPA / OSHA /
NIOSH and occupational and trade
associations with respect to dust
HSE 60, HSE 70
("particulate matter"). When the
inhalation of dust cannot be
substantially controlled, i.e., kept at or
near the ambient (background) level, the
operator and any bystanders should
wear a respirator approved by NIOSH /
MSHA for the type of dust encountered.
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.
DANGER
To reduce the risk of
electrocution, never oper-
ate this power tool in the
vicinity of any wires or
cables (power, etc.) that
may be carrying electric
current.
WARNING
When using the electric hedge trimmer,
always keep the power supply cord and
extension cord behind you and away
from the cutting tool. Never drape the
cord over the hedge being trimmed.
Always ensure that your power cords do
not become entangled with obstacles or
objects. Damaged cords may cause
electrocution.
WARNING
Avoid damage to the power cords. Keep
cords away from heat, oil and sharp
edges. Never carry hedge trimmer by
power cable or yank power cable or
extension cord to disconnect the plug
from the wall outlet. To unplug, grasp the
plug not the cord.
WARNING
If the blades become clogged or stuck,
always release the switches, disconnect
the plug, and make sure the cutting tool
has stopped, before cleaning. Debris,
etc. should be cleaned off the cutting
tool at regular intervals.
