23.8 Hedge trimmer safety warnings
Safety instructions for hedge trimmers
a) Keep all parts of the body away from the
blade. Do not remove cut material or hold
material to be cut when blades are moving.
Blades continue to move after the switch is
turned off. A moment of inattention while oper‐
ating the hedge trimmer may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with
the blade stopped and taking care not to oper‐
ate any power switch. Proper carrying of the
hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of inad‐
vertent starting and resultant personal injury
from the blades.
c) When transporting or storing the hedge trim‐
mer, always fit the blade cover. Proper han‐
dling of the hedge trimmer will decrease the
risk of personal injury from the blades.
d) When clearing jammed material or servicing
the unit, make sure all power switches are off
and the power cord is disconnected. Unexpec‐
ted actuation of the hedge trimmer while clear‐
ing jammed material or servicing may result in
serious personal injury.
e) Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the blade may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Blades contact‐
ing a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the hedge trimmer "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
f) Keep all power cords and cables away from
cutting area. Power cords or cables may be
hidden in hedges or bushes and can be acci‐
dentally cut by the blade.
g) 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.
