Safety Precautions and Working Techniques English / USA Because a hedge trimmer is a high-speed, fastcutting power tool with sharp cutting blades, special safety precautions must be observed to reduce the risk of personal injury. It is important that you read, fully understand and observe the following safety precautions and warnings. Read the instruction manual and the safety precautions periodically. Careless or improper use may cause serious or fatal injury. Have your STIHL dealer show you how to operate your power tool. Observe all applicable local safety regulations, standards and ordinances. !Warning! Do not lend or rent your power tool without the instruction manual. Be sure that anyone using it understands the information contained in this manual. !Warning! The use of this machine may be hazardous. If the cutting tool comes in contact with your body, it will cut you. Use your hedge trimmer only for cutting hedges, shrubs, scrub, bushes and similar material. It must not be used for any other purposes, since such misuse may result in an accident or 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 bystanders 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 unauthorized persons do not use it. 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. Safe use of a hedge trimmer involves 1. the operator 2. the power tool 3. the use of the power tool.
