English / USA !Warning! Never modify a hedge cutter in any way. Only attachments supplied by STIHL or expressly approved by STIHL for use with the specific STIHL hedge cutter models are authorized. Although certain unauthorized attachments may be useable for the STIHL hedge cutter, their use may, in fact, be extremely dangerous. Never remove or disable any safety devices. USE OF THE HEDGE CUTTER Transporting the hedge cutter !Warning! To reduce the risk of injury from blade contact, never carry or transport the hedge cutter with the cutter blades running. The correct engine idle speed is important in this respect. If the carburetor setting is correct, the cutter blades will be stationary at idle speed. !Warning! Always turn off the engine and make sure the cutting attachment has stopped before putting the unit down or carrying it between work stations. The hedge cutter may be carried only in a horizontal position. Grip the shaft in a manner that the machine is balanced horizontally. Keep the hot muffler away from your body and the cutting attachment behind you. 389BA019 KN Always switch off the engine and fit the scabbard over the cutter blades before transporting the hedge cutter over long distances. When transporting your hedge cutter in a vehicle, properly secure it to prevent turnover, fuel spillage and damage to the hedge cutter. Preparation for the use of the hedge cutter !Warning! Never use a hedge cutter that is damaged or not properly maintained. Always check your hedge cutter for proper condition and operation before starting, particularly the throttle trigger, throttle trigger interlock, stop switch and cutting tool. The throttle trigger must move freely and always spring back in the idle position. The cutting tool must be properly tightened and in safe operating condition. Inspect for loose part (nuts, screws, etc.) and for cracked, bent, warped or damaged blades. Regularly check the condition and tightness of the cutter blades - with the engine stopped!
