HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY
WARNINGS
1. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
ENH021-4
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.
2. 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. A moment of inattention while
operating the hedge trimmer may result in serious
personal injury.
3. Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with
the cutter blade stopped. When transporting
or storing the hedge trimmer always fit the
cutting device cover. Proper handling of the
hedge trimmer will reduce possible personal injury
from the cutter blades.
4. Keep cable away from cutting area. During
operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs and
can be accidentally cut by the blade.
5. Do not use the hedge trimmer in the rain or in wet
or very damp conditions. The electric motor is not
waterproof.
6. First-time users should have an experienced
hedge trimmer user show them how to use the
trimmer.
7. The hedge trimmer must not be used by children
or young persons under 18 years of age. Young
persons over 16 years of age may be exempted
from this restriction if they are undergoing training
under the supervision of an expert.
8. Use the hedge trimmer only if you are in good
physical condition. If you are tired, your attention
will be reduced. Be especially careful at the end of
a working day. Perform all work calmly and
carefully. The user is responsible for all damages
to third parties.
9. Never use the trimmer when under the influence
of alcohol, drugs or medication.
10. Check to make sure that the voltage and
frequency of the power supply correspond to the
