Warning!
Keep the handles clean and dry at all
times; it is particularly important to keep
them free of moisture, pitch, oil, grease
or resin in order for you to maintain a firm
grip and properly control your power
tool.
!
Warning!
The cutting tool must be properly
tightened and in safe operating
condition. Inspect for loose parts (nuts,
screws, etc.) and for cracked, bent,
warped or damaged blades. Regularly
check the condition and tightness of the
cutting blades – with the hedge trimmer
diconnected from the power supply!
Replace damaged cutting blades before
using the power tool. Always keep
blades sharp.
STIHL recommends that you always
spray the cutting blades with STIHL
resin solvent before connecting the
hedge trimmer to the power supply! You
can obtain this protective spray from
your dealer. Apply generously.
During Operation
Dual switch system
Your hedge trimmer is equipped with a
dual switch system for two-handed
operation. It has a trigger switch on the
rear handle as well as a front-handle
switch. It is designed so that the cutting
blades will only engage if both switches
are simultaneously in the depressed
position.
!
Warning!
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal cut
injuries, never attempt to disable or
override the dual switch system. If it is
not functioning properly, have it repaired
immediately by a STIHL servicing dealer
before further use.
Holding and controlling the power
tool
Always hold the unit firmly with both
hands on the handles while you are
working. Wrap your fingers and thumbs
around the handles.
Right-hand use
Put your right hand on the rear handle,
left hand on the front handle.
Left-hand use
Put your left hand on the rear handle,
right hand on the front handle.
