After Finishing Work - Stihl HSE 42 Gebrauchsanleitung

English
– When working close to the ground, make sure
that no sand, grit or stones get between the
cutting blades
– Take particular care when cutting hedges next
to or against wire fences
Do not touch electric power lines – never cut
through electric power lines – risk of electrocu‐
tion!
Do not touch the cutting blades.while
the engine is running. If the cutting
blades become jammed by thick
branches or other obstructions,
switch off immediately and disconnect
the plug from the power supply before
attempting to free the blades.
If the hedge is very dusty or dirty, spray the cut‐
ting blades with STIHL resin solvent from time to
time during cutting. This will significantly reduce
blade friction, the aggressive effects of sap and
the build-up of dirt particles.
The dust that occurs during operation may be
harmful to health. Wear a dust mask in case of
dust formation.
If the power cord is damaged, imme‐
diately disconnect the plug from the
wall outlet to avoid the risk of electric
shock.
Never jerk the power cord to disconnect it from
the wall outlet. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the
cord.
Avoid damage to the power supply cord. Do not
drive over it, pinch or tug it.
Position the connecting and extension cords cor‐
rectly:
– Do not chafe on edges, pointed or sharp
objects
– don't trap or squeeze the cord in or under
doors or windows
– If cords are twisted – unplug the power tool
and straighten them out
– Always avoid contact with the cutting attach‐
ment
– Always completely unfurl the connecting cord
from the cable reel to avoid risk of fire due to
overheating.
Before leaving the power tool unattended: Switch
it off and disconnect the plug from the power
supply.
Check the cutting blades at regular, frequent
intervals during operation or immediately if there
is a noticeable change in cutting behavior:

After finishing work

Always clean dust and dirt off the power tool – do
not use any grease solvents for this purpose.
Spray the cutting blades with STIHL resin sol‐
vent. Run the motor briefly so that the solvent is
evenly distributed.
2.7 Vibrations
This power tool minimizes the vibrations trans‐
mitted to the operator's hands.
However, the operator should seek medical
advice in the event of suspected circulatory prob‐
lems in the hands (e.g. tingling sensation in the
fingers).
2.8 Maintenance and Repairs
Always switch off the machine and disconnect
the plug from the power supply before carrying
out any maintenance work to reduce the risk of
injury from the motor starting unintentionally.
Service the machine regularly. Do not attempt
any maintenance or repair work not described in
the instruction manual. Have all other work per‐
formed by a servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends that you have servicing and
repair work carried out exclusively by an author‐
ized STIHL servicing dealer. STIHL dealers are
regularly given the opportunity to attend training
courses and are supplied with the necessary
technical information.
Only use high-quality replacement parts in order
to avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the
machine. If you have any questions in this
respect, consult a servicing dealer.
