Transporting the Electric Hedge
Trimmer
!
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury from blade
contact, never carry or transport your
power tool with the cutter blades
moving.
It may be carried only in the horizontal
position. Grip the front handle and keep
the cutter blades behind you.
!
Warning!
Always release the switches, disconnect
the unit from the power supply and fit the
scabbard over the cutter blades before
transporting the power tool over long
distances. When transporting it in a
vehicle, properly secure it to prevent
turnover and damage to the unit.
Preparation for the Use of the
Electric Hedge Trimmer
!
Warning!
Never use a power tool that is damaged
or not properly maintained.
!
Warning!
Before connecting the hedge trimmer to
the power supply, always check it for
proper condition and operation,
including the dual switch system, cutting
blades with integral blade guard and
hand guard. The trigger switch and front-
handle switch must both move freely
and always spring back to the off
position. Never attempt to tamper with
the switches or to modify the other
controls or safety devices.
!
Warning!
Inspect the power supply cord, plug and
extension cord before and after each
use for signs of damage or aging.
Your hedge trimmer is equipped with a
mechanical sprocket brake designed to
bring the cutting blades immediately to a
stop when one or both switches are
released.
!
Warning!
To reduce the risk of cut injuries, do not
operate your hedge trimmer if the cutting
blades do not stop immediately or if the
teeth of the top and the bottom cutting
blades do not stop in an overlapping
position. Have your unit repaired by a
servicing STIHL dealer.
