English / USA Let the engine cool down sitting on concrete, metal, bare ground or solid wood (e.g. the trunk of a felled tree) away from any combustible substances. !Warning! To reduce the risk of fire or burn injury, let the unit cool down before refueling your hedge cutter after use. !Warning! Never disassemble or modify your muffler. The muffler could be damaged and cause an increase in heat radiation or sparks, thereby increasing the risk of fire or burn injury. You may also permanently damage the engine. Have your muffler serviced and repaired by your STIHL Servicing Dealer only. !Warning! To reduce the risk of fire or burn injury, keep the area around the muffler clean. Remove all debris such as pine needles, branches or leaves. !Warning! An improperly mounted or damaged cylinder housing or a damaged/ deformed muffler shell may interfere with the cooling effect of the catalytic converter. To reduce the risk of fire or burn injury, do not continue work with a damaged or improperly mounted cylinder housing or a damaged/ deformed muffler shell. Your catalytic converter is furnished with screens designed to reduce the risk of fire from the emission of hot particles. Due to the heat from the catalytic reaction, these screens will normally stay clean and need no service or maintenance. If you experience loss of performance and you suspect a clogged screen, have your muffler maintained by a STIHL Servicing Dealer. Working Conditions Do not operate using the starting throttle lock as you do not have control of the engine speed. See section of your owner's manual on the proper use of the slide control. !Warning! Your hedge cutter produces poisonous exhaust fumes as soon as the combustible engine is running. These gases (e.g. carbon monoxide) may be colorless and odorless. To reduce the risk of injury from inhalation of poisonous fumes, start and operate your hedge cutter only outdoors in a well ventilated area. Hold your hedge cutter in such a way that you do not breath in the exaust fumes. Operate the hedge cutter under good visibility and daylight conditions only. !Warning! Make sure you always have good footing. Take particular care in slippery conditions and on slopes. Be careful on un-even ground. Watch out for stumps, roots, ditches or holes which could cause you to trip or stumble. 8 HL 75, HL 75 K
