8 Maintenance, Repair and Storage 8 Maintenance, Repair and Storage 8.1 Warnings and Instructions WARNING ■ There are no user-authorized repairs for the hedge trimmer, battery or charger. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or other personal injury and property damage: - Users may carry out only the cleaning and maintenance operations described in this manual. - Strictly follow the cleaning and maintenance instructions in the appropriate sections of this instruction manual. - STIHL recommends that all repair work be performed by authorized STIHL servicing dealers. ■ Unintentional starting may result in personal injury or property damage. To reduce the risk of personal injury and property damage from unintentional starting: - Remove the battery before inspecting the hedge trimmer or carrying out any cleaning, maintenance or repair work, before storing, and any other time the hedge trimmer is not in use. ■ The cutting blades are the only user-serviceable parts of the hedge trimmer. Proper maintenance will help maintain cutting performance and reduce the risk of personal injury. - Wear heavy-duty non-slip work gloves when handling the cutting blades. - Keep the cutting blades clean and sharp. - Tighten all nuts, bolts and screws after each use. - Never repair damaged cutting blades by welding, straightening or modifying the shape. This may cause parts of the cutting blades to experience uneven or excessive wear or other damage that can lead to a malfunction or breakage during operation, resulting in serious or fatal injuries. English ■ Use of parts that are not authorized or approved by STIHL may cause serious or fatal injury or property damage. - STIHL recommends that only identical STIHL replacement parts be used for repair or maintenance. ■ To reduce the risk of short circuit and fire: - Keep the battery guides free of foreign matter. Clean as necessary with a dry cloth or soft, dry brush. ■ Improper storage can result in unauthorized use, damage to the hedge trimmer and battery and charger, and an increased risk of fire, electric shock and other personal injury or property damage. - Remove the battery from the hedge trimmer before storing. - Never store the hedge trimmer and charger with the battery inserted. - Store the hedge trimmer and battery and charger indoors in a dry, secure place that cannot be accessed by children or other unauthorized users. - Never store the battery in the hedge trimmer, in the charger, in a metal container or in a container with metal objects (e.g., paper clips, nails, coins, keys). ■ To reduce the risk of electric shock and other personal injury or property damage when mounting the charger and wall bracket: - Ensure that no electrical cables, pipes or other service lines run behind the wall where the charger and wall bracket is to be mounted. - Mount the charger and wall bracket only as described in this manual. 0458-185-8621-A 19
