Connecting To Power Supply - Stihl HSE 42 Instruction Manual

Working Technique
Vertical Cut
Swing the cutting blade from the bottom
upwards in an arc – lower the nose of the
blade, move along the hedge and then
swing the blade up again in an arc.
Any working position above head height
is tiring. To minimize the risk of
accidents, work in such positions for
short periods only.
HSE 42, HSE 52
Horizontal Cut
Hold the cutter bar at an angle of 0° to
10° as you swing the hedge trimmer
horizontally.
Swing the cutting blade in an arc
towards the outside of the hedge so that
the cuttings are swept to the ground.
Repeat the procedure several times on
wide hedges.

Connecting to Power Supply

The voltage and frequency of the
machine (see rating plate) must match
the voltage and frequency of the power
connection.
The minimum fuse protection of the
power connection must comply with the
specifications – see "Specifications".
The machine must be connected to the
power supply via an earth-leakage
circuit breaker to disconnect the power
supply if the differential current to earth
exceeds 30 mA.
The power connection must correspond
to IEC 60364 and relevant national
regulations.
Depending on the supply voltage and
cord length, the minimum conductor
cross section of the extension cord must
be as follows:
Cord length Minimum cross
section
220 V – 240 V:
up to 20 m 1.5 mm
20 m to 50 m 2.5 mm
100 V – 127 V:
up to 10 m AWG 14 / 2.0 mm
10 m to 30 m AWG 12 / 3.5 mm
