Guide to Using this Manual Safety Precautions and

Working Techniques

Because a hedge trim-

mer is a high-speed, fast-

cutting power tool with

sharp cutting blades,

special safety precau-

tions must be observed to

reduce the risk of fire,

electrical shock and per-

sonal injury.

It is important that you

read, fully understand

and observe the forego-

ing Important Safety

Instructions and the fol-

lowing safety precautions

and warnings. Read the

instruction manual and

the safety precautions

periodically. Careless or

improper use may cause

serious or fatal injury.

HSE 60, HSE 70

English

Use your hedge trimmer only for cutting

hedges, shrubs, scrub, bushes and

similar material.

WARNING

Do not use it for other purposes, since

misuse may result in personal injury or

property damage, including damage to

the machine.

WARNING

Minors should never be allowed to use

this power tool. Bystanders, especially

children, and animals should not be

allowed in the area where it is in use.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury to bystanders

and damage to property, disconnect the

plug when the unit is not in use (e. g.

during a work break), and make sure

that unauthorized persons do not use it.

Safe use of a hedge trimmer involves

1. the operator

2. the power tool

3. the use of the power tool.

THE OPERATOR

Physical Condition

You must be in good physical condition

and mental health and not under the

influence of any substance (drugs,

alcohol, etc.) which might impair vision,

dexterity or judgment. Do not operate

this machine when you are fatigued.

WARNING

Be alert – if you get tired, take a break.

Tiredness may result in loss of control.

Working with any power tool can be

strenuous. If you have any condition that

might be aggravated by strenuous work,

check with your doctor before operating

this machine.

WARNING

Prolonged use of a power tool (or other

machines) exposing the operator to

vibrations may produce whitefinger

disease (Raynaud's phenomenon) or

carpal tunnel syndrome.

These conditions reduce the hand's

ability to feel and regulate temperature,

produce numbness and burning

sensations and may cause nerve and

circulation damage and tissue necrosis.

All factors which contribute to

whitefinger disease are not known, but

cold weather, smoking and diseases or

physical conditions that affect blood

vessels and blood transport, as well as

high vibration levels and long periods of

exposure to vibration are mentioned as

factors in the development of whitefinger

disease. In order to reduce the risk of

whitefinger disease and carpal tunnel

syndrome, please note the following:

– Wear gloves and keep your hands

warm.

– Keep the unit well maintained. A

power tool with loose components

will tend to have higher vibration

levels.

– Maintain a firm grip at all times, but

do not squeeze the handles with

constant, excessive pressure. Take

frequent breaks.

All the above-mentioned precautions do

not guarantee that you will not sustain

whitefinger disease or carpal tunnel

syndrome. Therefore, continual and

regular users should closely monitor the

condition of their hands and fingers. If

any of the above symptoms appear,

seek medical advice immediately.

WARNING

According to STIHL´s current

knowledge, the electric motor of this unit

should not interfere with a pacemaker.

When in doubt, however, consult your

physician and pacemaker manufacturer

before operating this tool.

Proper Clothing

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury, the operator

should wear proper protective apparel.

HSE 60, HSE 70

English

WARNING

Be particularly alert and cautious when

wearing hearing protection because

your ability to hear warnings (shouts,

alarms, etc.) is restricted.

Avoid loose-fitting jackets, scarfs,

neckties, jewelry, flared or cuffed pants,

unconfined long hair or anything that

could become caught on branches,

brush or the moving parts of the unit.

Secure hair so it is above shoulder level.

THE POWER TOOL

For illustrations and definitions of the

power tool parts see the chapter on

“Main Parts and Controls”.

WARNING

Never modify this power tool in any way.

Only attachments supplied by STIHL or

expressly approved by STIHL for use

with the specific STIHL model are

authorized. Although certain

unauthorized attachments are useable

with STIHL power tools, their use may,

in fact, be extremely dangerous.

If this tool is subjected to unusually high

loads for which it was not designed (e. g.

heavy impact or a fall), always check

that it is in good condition before

continuing work. Check in particular that

the controls and safety devices such as

the dual switch system, hand guard,

mechanical sprocket brake and integral

blade guard are working properly. Do

not continue operating this machine if it

is damaged. In case of doubt, have it

checked by your STIHL servicing dealer.

THE USE OF THE POWER TOOL

Electrical Precautions

WARNING

The voltage of the power supply must

agree with the voltage specified on the

hedge trimmer's rating plate. Improper

voltage will damage the hedge trimmer

and may cause personal injury.

diconnected from the power supply!

Replace damaged cutting blades before

using the power tool. Always keep

blades sharp.

STIHL recommends that you always

spray the cutting blades with STIHL

resin solvent before connecting the

hedge trimmer to the power supply! You

can obtain this protective spray from

your dealer. Apply generously.

During Operation

Dual Switch System

Your hedge trimmer is equipped with a

dual switch system for two-handed

operation. It has a trigger switch on the

rear handle as well as a front-handle

switch. It is designed so that the cutting

blades will only engage if both switches

are simultaneously in the depressed

position.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious or fatal cut

injuries, never attempt to disable or

override the dual switch system. If it is

not functioning properly, have it repaired

immediately by a STIHL servicing dealer

before further use.

Always hold the unit firmly with both

hands on the handles while you are

working. Wrap your fingers and thumbs

around the handles.

Right-hand Use

Put your right hand on the rear handle,

left hand on the front handle.

Left-hand Use

Put your left hand on the rear handle,

right hand on the front handle.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of unintentional

starting, never carry a plugged-in unit

from place to place with your finger on

the trigger switch. Be sure both switches

are disengaged when plugging in.

WARNING

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times. Special care

must be taken in slippery conditions and

in difficult, overgrown terrain. Watch for

hidden obstacles such as tree stumps,

roots and ditches to avoid stumbling. For

better footing, clear away fallen

branches, scrub and cuttings. Be

extremely cautious when working on

slopes or uneven ground.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury from loss of

control, never work on a ladder, in a tree

or any other insecure support. Never

Working Conditions

WARNING

Never attempt to use an electric hedge

trimmer in locations where there is a

potential for explosive or flammable

atmospheres.

Operate your power tool under good

visibility and daylight conditions only.

Work carefully.

Do not cut any material other than

hedges or similar soft vegetation. Do not

cut stems greater than 17 mm (0.7 inch)

thick.

WARNING

If the vegetation being cut or the

surrounding ground is coated with a

chemical substance (such as an active

pesticide or herbicide), read and follow

the instructions and warnings that

accompanied the substance at issue.

WARNING

Inhalation of certain dusts, especially

organic dusts such as mold or pollen,

can cause susceptible persons to have

an allergic or asthmatic reaction.

Substantial or repeated inhalation of

dust and other airborne contaminants, in

particular those with a smaller particle

size, may cause respiratory or other

illnesses. Control dust at the source

where possible. Use good work

practices, such as operating the unit so

that the wind or operating process

directs any dust raised by the power tool

away from the operator. Follow the

recommendations of EPA / OSHA /

NIOSH and occupational and trade

associations with respect to dust

(“particulate matter”). When the

inhalation of dust cannot be

substantially controlled, i.e., kept at or

near the ambient (background) level, the

operator and any bystanders should

wear a respirator approved by NIOSH /

MSHA for the type of dust encountered.

Operating Instructions

WARNING

In the event of an emergency, release

one or both switches immediately to stop

the movement of the cutting blades.

WARNING

Before you start work, examine the

hedge area for stones, fence wire, metal

or other solid objects which could

damage the cutting blades.

Take particular care when cutting

hedges next to or against wire fences.

Do not touch the wire with the cutting

blades. When working close to the

ground, make sure that no sand, grit or

stones get between the cutting blades.

Striking solid foreign objects such as

stones, fence wire or metal could

damage the cutting attachment and may

cause blades to crack, chip or break.

STIHL does not recommend the use of

your power tool when cutting in areas

where the blades could contact such

objects.

WARNING

Observe the cutting blades at all times –

do not cut any areas of the hedge that

you cannot see. When cutting the top of

a taller hedge, check the other side of

the hedge frequently for bystanders,

animals and obstructions.

DANGER

WARNING

When using the electric hedge trimmer,

always keep the power supply cord and

extension cord behind you and away

from the cutting tool. Never drape the

cord over the hedge being trimmed.

Always ensure that your power cords do

not become entangled with obstacles or

objects. Damaged cords may cause

electrocution.

WARNING

Avoid damage to the power cords. Keep

cords away from heat, oil and sharp

edges. Never carry hedge trimmer by

power cable or yank power cable or

extension cord to disconnect the plug

from the wall outlet. To unplug, grasp the

plug not the cord.

WARNING

If the blades become clogged or stuck,

always release the switches, disconnect

the plug, and make sure the cutting tool

has stopped, before cleaning. Debris,

etc. should be cleaned off the cutting

tool at regular intervals.

To reduce the risk of

electrocution, never oper-

ate this power tool in the

vicinity of any wires or

cables (power, etc.) that

may be carrying electric

Using the Unit

446BA010 KN

446BA007 KN

HSE 60, HSE 70

English

The voltage and frequency of your

power supply and the voltage and

frequency specified on the unit must be

the same. Use an extension cord

specifically approved for outdoor

applications.

Extension Cords

Listed by UL, W-A marking on cable

jacket indicates "outdoor use."

Appropriate extension cords are

available in special stores for electrical

equipment or from your STIHL dealer.

Extension cord reel

WARNING

If your extension cord is stored on a reel,

always unwind it completely before use.

A coiled extension cord can retard the

flow of electricity and cause overheating,

which can lead to a short circuit or fire.

The reel should be equipped with

thermal protection.

To reduce the risk of disconnection of

hedge trimmer cord from the extension

cord during operating and to relieve

strain on the hedge trimmer cord:

N Insert unit's plug (1) into extension

cord coupling (2).

Strain Relief (Cord Retainer)

N Make a loop (3) in the extension

the plug does not fit fully into the

extension cord, reverse the plug. If the

plug still does not fit, obtain a correct

polarized extension cord. A polarized

extension cord will require the use of a

polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit in a

polarized wall outlet one way. If the plug

does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the

plug. If it still does not fit, contact a

qualified electrician to install the proper

wall outlet. Do not change the

equipment plug, extension cord

receptacle, or extension cord plug in any

way.

N Make sure you have a secure and

stop with the teeth in an overlapping

position.

Switching On

446BA008 KN

Switching Off

HSE 60, HSE 70

English

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

N Release both the front-handle and

rear trigger switches.

N Unplug the hedge trimmer from the

extension cord.

N Clear the cutting blades from all

obstructions which caused the

blocking.

N 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

N Clean the cutting blades, check

condition and spray with STIHL

resin solvent.

N Fit the blade scabbard.

N Thoroughly clean the machine.

N Store the machine in a dry and high

or locked location – out of the reach

of children and other unauthorized

persons.

When cutting performance and behavior

begin to deteriorate, i.e. blades

frequently snag on branches:

Resharpen the cutting blades.

It is best to have the cutting blades

resharpened by a dealer on a workshop

sharpener. STIHL recommends a STIHL

servicing dealer.

It is also possible to use a flat crosscut

sharpening file. Hold the sharpening file

at the prescribed angle (see

"Specifications").

N Only sharpen the cutting edge – do

not file blunt projecting parts of the

cutting blade or the cutting blade

guard (see "Main Parts and

Controls")

N Always file towards the cutting

edge.

N The file only sharpens on the

forward stroke – lift it off the blade

on the backstroke.

N Use a whetstone to remove burr

from cutting edge.

N Remove as little material as

possible.

N After sharpening, clean away filing

or grinding dust and then spray the

cutting blades with STIHL resin

solvent.

NOTICE

Do not operate your machine with dull or

damaged cutting blades. This may

cause overload and will give

unsatisfactory cutting results.

This chapter relays the pre-worded

general safety advice for handheld

motorized electrical power tools

contained in the IEC 60745, UL 60745

and CSA 60745 standards.

The safety precautions and warnings on

avoiding an electric shock given under

"2) Electrical safety" do not apply to

STIHL cordless electric power tools.

WARNING

Read all safety warnings and all

instructions. Failure to follow the

warnings and instructions may result in

electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for

future reference.

The term "power tool" in the warnings

refers to your mains-operated (corded)

power tool or battery-operated

(cordless) power tool.

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite

accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in

explosive atmospheres, such as in

the presence of flammable liquids,

gases or dust. Power tools create

sparks which may ignite the dust or

fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away

while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose

control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the

outlet. Never modify the plug in any

way. Do not use any adapter plugs

with earthed (grounded) power

tools. Unmodified plugs and

matching outlets will reduce risk of

electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or

grounded surfaces such as pipes,

radiators, ranges and refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed or

grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or

wet conditions. Water entering a

power tool will increase the risk of

electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use

the cord for carrying, pulling or

unplugging the power tool. Keep

cord away from heat, oil, sharp

edges or moving parts. Damaged or

entangled cords increase the risk of

electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool

outdoors, use an extension cord

suitable for outdoor use. Use of a

cord suitable for outdoor use

reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp

location is unavoidable, use a

residual current device (RCD)

protected supply. Use of an RCD

reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing

and use common sense when

operating a power tool. Do not use a

power tool while you are tired or

under the influence of drugs,

alcohol or medication. A moment of

inattention while operating power

tools may result in serious personal

injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment.

Always wear eye protection.

Protective equipment such as dust

mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard

hat, or hearing protection used for

appropriate conditions will reduce

personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting.

Ensure the switch is in the off-

position before connecting to power

source and/or battery pack, picking

up or carrying the tool. Carrying

power tools with your finger on the

switch or energising power tools

that have the switch on invites

accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or

wrench before turning the power

tool on. A wrench or a key left

attached to a rotating part of the

power tool may result in personal

injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times.

This enables better control of the

power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose

clothing or jewellery. Keep your

hair, clothing and gloves away from

moving parts. Loose clothes,

jewellery or long hair can be caught

in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the

connection of dust extraction and

collection facilities, ensure these

are connected and properly used.

Use of dust collection can reduce

dust-related hazards.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the

correct power tool for your

application. The correct power tool

will do the job better and safer at the

rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the

switch does not turn it on and off.

Any power tool that cannot be

controlled with the switch is

dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power

source and/or the battery pack from

the power tool before making any

adjustments, changing accessories,

or storing power tools. Such

preventive safety measures reduce

the risk of starting the power tool

accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the

reach of children and do not allow

persons unfamiliar with the power

tool or these instructions to operate

the power tool. Power tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained

users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for

misalignment or binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts and any

other condition that may affect the

power tool's operation. If damaged,

have the power tool repaired before

use. Many accidents are caused by

poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools

with sharp cutting edges are less

likely to bind and are easier to

control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories

and tool bits etc. in accordance with

these instructions, taking into

account the working conditions and

the work to be performed. Use of the

power tool for operations different

from those intended could result in a

hazardous situation.

5) Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a

qualified repair person using only

identical replacement parts. This

will ensure that the safety of the

power tool is maintained.

Hedge Trimmer Safety Warnings

– Use both hands when operating the

hedge trimmer. Using one hand

could cause loss of control and

result in serious personal injury.

– Keep all parts of the body away

from the cutter blade. Do not

remove cut material or hold material

to be cut when blades are moving.

Make sure the switch is off when

clearing jammed material. Blades

coast after turn off. A moment of

inattention while operating the

hedge trimmer may result in serious

personal injury.

DANGER

– Keep hands away from blade.

Contact with blade will result in

serious personal injury.

– Carry the hedge trimmer by the

handle with the cutter blade

stopped. Proper handling of the

hedge trimmer will reduce possible

personal injury from the cutter

blades.

– Hold the power tool by insulated

gripping surfaces only, because the

cutter blade may contact hidden

wiring or its own cord. Cutter blades

contacting a "live" wire may make

exposed metal parts of the power

tool "live" and could give the

operator an electric shock.

– Keep cable away from cutting area.

During operation the cable may be

hidden in shrubs and can be

accidentally cut by the blade.
