The charger is in a safe condition if the following
points are observed:

■ If components do not comply with safety
requirements, they will no longer function
properly and safety devices may be rendered
inoperative. This can result in serious or fatal
injuries.
► Do not use a damaged charger.
► If the charger is dirty or wet: Clean the
charger and allow it to dry.
► Never attempt to modify the charger.
► Never insert objects in the charger's open‐
ings.

4.7 Operation
WARNING
■ The user cannot concentrate on the work in
certain situations. The user may stumble, fall
and be seriously injured.
► Work calmly and carefully.
► If light and visibility are poor: Do not use
your hedge trimmer.
► Operate the hedge trimmer alone.
► Watch out for obstacles.
► Stand on the ground while working and
keep a good balance. If it is necessary to
work at heights: Use a lift bucket or a safe
platform.
► If you begin to feel tired: Take a break.
■ Working above shoulder height can cause you
to tire quickly. This can result in serious inju‐
ries.
► Work above shoulder height for short peri‐
ods only.
► Take regular breaks.
■ If the moving cutting blades make contact with
a hard object they can be brought to a sudden
stop. The reactive forces that occur can cause
the user to lose control of the hedge trimmer
and be seriously injured.
► Hold the hedge trimmer firmly with both
hands.
► Before starting work, check hedge for hard
objects and remove any such objects.
■ The moving cutting blades can cut the user.

during operation or feels unusual, it may no

your STIHL servicing dealer for assistance.
