Tips
#1Using the HS 45
You will get a straighter cut on your hedges if you move the hedge trimmer in an upwards motion when trimming.
#2Cleaning your HS 45
When you have finished using the hedge trimmer, stop the machine, then spray a little resin solvent, like STIHL Superclean, onto the blades to remove sap or resin, protect them from corrosion and stop them getting stuck together.
#3Storing your HS 45
Store your HS 45 in a clean and dry area and keep out of the reach of children at all times. Don't leave your machine with unused fuel in it for long periods of time.
#4Check for wildlife
Don’t forget to check your work area for wildlife before starting to use your tool. In particular, you should check for nesting birds before trimming hedges, as well as checking for other small animals such as hedgehogs before trimming long grass.
