English / USA Storing the Machine Switching On/Off : Make sure you have a secure and balanced footing. Hold your hedge trimmer with both hands - one hand on the rear handle - the other hand on the front handle. : Stand upright - hold the hedge trimmer in a relaxed position. 1 2 : To switch the unit on, press down both the front-handle switch (1) and the rear trigger switch (2). To switch the unit off, release either the trigger switch or front-handle switch or both. Release of either switch should cause the top and bottom blades to come to a stop with the teeth in an overlapping position. 446BA008 KN Overload Circuit Breaker The overload circuit breaker in the powerhead cuts off the power supply to the hedge trimmer in case of mechanical overload, e.g. due to blocked cutting blades while front-handle and rear trigger switches remain activated. If the overload circuit breaker has cut off the power supply: : Release both the front-handle and rear trigger switches. : Unplug the hedge trimmer from the extension cord. : Clear the cutting blades from all obstructions which caused the blocking. : Wait for the circuit breaker to cool down for approximately 1 minute. Connect the hedge trimmer to the extension cord again. If the motor does not start when both the front-handle and rear trigger switches are activated, the overload circuit breaker has not cooled down sufficiently. Once the motor starts: Run your hedge trimmer for about 15 seconds off-load. This helps to cool down the motor and the overload circuit breaker and helps to prevent an undesired tripping of the circuit breaker due to heat still retained from the earlier overload. For periods of about 3 months or longer: : Clean the cutting blades, check condition and spray with STIHL resin solvent. : Fit the blade scabbard : Thoroughly clean the machine : Store the machine in a dry and high or locked location - out of the reach of children and other unauthorized persons. 16 HSE 60, HSE 70
