English
Use your hedge trimmer only for cutting
hedges, shrubs, scrub and similar
material.
Warning!
Do not use it for other purposes, since
misuse may result in personal injury or
property damage, including damage to
the machine.
Warning!
Minors should never be allowed to use
this power tool. Bystanders, especially
children, and animals should not be
allowed in the area where it is in use.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury to bystand-
ers and damage to property, never let
your power tool run unattended. When it
is not in use (e.g. during a work break),
shut it off and make sure that unauthor-
ized persons do not use it. To do this,
move retaining latch to ƒ and remove
the battery from the power tool.
Most of these safety precautions and
warnings apply to the use of all STIHL
hedge trimmers. Different models may
have different parts and controls. See
the appropriate section of your
instruction manual for a description of
the controls and the function of the parts
of your model.
Always remove the battery and move
retaining latch to ƒ before transporting,
storing or carrying out any work on the
power tool. This avoids the risk of the
motor starting unintentionally.

Safe use of a hedge trimmer involves
1. the operator
2. the power tool
3. the use of the power tool.
THE OPERATOR
Physical Condition
You must be in good physical condition
and mental health and not under the
influence of any substance (drugs,
alcohol, etc.) which might impair vision,
dexterity or judgment. Do not operate
this machine when you are fatigued.
Warning!
Be alert – if you get tired, take a break.
Tiredness may result in loss of control.
Working with any power tool can be
strenuous. If you have any condition
that might be aggravated by strenuous
work, check with your doctor before
operating this machine.
Proper Clothing
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury, the operator
should wear proper protective apparel.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of
injury to your eyes never
operate your power tool
unless wearing goggles
or properly fitted protec-
tive glasses with
adequate top and side protection com-
plying with ANSI Z 87.1 (or your
applicable national standard.)
Clothing must be sturdy
and snug-fitting but allow
complete freedom of
movement. Wear long
pants made of heavy
material to help protect
your legs. Do not wear
shorts.
Avoid loose-fitting jackets, scarfs,
neckties, jewelry, flared or cuffed pants,
unconfined long hair or anything that
could become caught on branches,
brush or the moving parts of the unit.
Secure hair so it is above shoulder level.
Good footing is very
important. Wear sturdy
boots with nonslip soles.
Never wear sandals, flip-
flops or go barefoot.
Always wear gloves
when handling the
machine and the cutting
tool. Heavy-duty, nonslip
gloves improve your grip
and help to protect your
hands.
