English
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
("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.
If the hedge is very dusty or dirty, spray
the blades with STIHL resin solvent from
time to time during cutting. This helps

reduce blade friction as well as the
aggressive effects of sap and the build-
up of dirt particles.
Operating Instructions
WARNING
In the event of an emergency, switch off
the motor immediately, move retaining
latch to ƒ and remove the battery.
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. Do not
damage the property of other persons
DANGER
Do not rely on the tool's
insulation against elec-
tric shock. To reduce the
risk of electrocution,
never operate this power
tool in the vicinity of any
wires or cables (power,
etc.) which may be carry-
ing electric current.
Check the cutting blades at regular short
intervals during operation, or
immediately if there is a noticeable
change in cutting behavior:
Switch off the motor.
–
Move retaining latch to ƒ.
–
Remove the battery.
–
Check condition and tightness, look
–
for cracks.
Check sharpness.
–
Replace damaged or dull cutting
–
blades immediately, even if they
have only superficial cracks.
The drive motor is not
waterproof. Never work
with the power tool in the
rain or in wet or very
damp locations.
Do not leave the machine outdoors in
the rain.
Your power tool is equipped with a
system designed to quickly stop the
cutting blades – they come to an
immediate standstill as soon as you
release the trigger switch and/or the
switch lever on the loop handle.
