- Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the blade
stopped and fingers away from all power switches. Proper
carrying of the hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of
inadvertent starting and resultant personal injury from the
blades.
- When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer, always
fit the blade cover. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer
will decrease the risk of personal injury from the blades.
- Make sure the switch is off and the battery pack is
removed or disconnected. Follow all instructions when
clearing jammed material or servicing the unit.
Unexpected actuation of the hedge trimmer while clearing
jammed material or servicing may result in serious personal
injury.
- Only hold the power tool on the insulated gripping
surfaces, because the blade may come into contact with
concealed power cables. If the blade accidentally makes
contact with a live cable, it can put metal device parts under
voltage or lead to an electric shock.
- Keep all power cords and cables away from cutting area.
Power cords or cables may be hidden in hedges or bushes
and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
- Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather conditions,
especially when there is a risk of lightning. This decreases
the risk of being struck by lightning.
- Before starting work, search the hedge for hidden
objects, e.g. wire, etc. This will prevent damage to the
equipment.
- Hold the hedge trimmer correctly, e.g. with both hands on
the hand grips if it has two of them. Injuries may occur if
you lose control over the device.
