Using the Hedge Cutter
Do not use your hedge cutter during
rest periods customary in the
neigborhood.
!
Warning!
Always stop the engine and make sure
that the cutting tool is stopped before
doing any maintenance or repair work or
cleaning the power tool. Do not attempt
any maintenance or repair work not
described in your power tool and
attachment instruction manuals. Have
such work performed by your STIHL
servicing dealer only.
Preparations
Use lopping shears to cut out thick
branches first.
Always wear a harness..
Cutting sequence
Wear gloves when handling or
performing maintenance on blades.
If a radical cut is necessary, cut a little at
a time in several stages.
!
Warning!
Cutting techniques
Never repair damaged cutting attach-
ments by welding, straightening or
modifying the shape. This may cause
parts of the cutting tool to come off and
result in serious or fatal injuries.
Vertical cut:
Swing the cutter bar up and down in an
arc as you move along the hedge – use
both sides of the cutting blades.
Horizontal cut
(with angled cutter bar)
Horizontal cut:
Keep the cutting tool sharp. Tighten all
nuts, bolts and screws, except the
carburetor adjustment screws, after
each use.
Hold the cutter bar at an angle of 0° to
10° as you swing the hedge cutter
horizontally.
Cutting close to the ground from a
standing position, e.g. low shrubs (not
with K version).
Swing the cutter bar in an arc towards
the outside of the hedge so that the
cuttings are swept on to the ground.
Store the power tool in a dry and high or
locked location out of reach of children.
Do not throw cuttings in the rubbish
bin (garbage can) – they can be
composted!
