Hedge trimmer safety warnings
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 operating the hedge trimmer may result
in serious personal injury.
b) Carry the hedge trimmer by the front
handle with the blade stopped and taking
care not to operate any power switch.
Proper carrying of the hedge trimmer will
decrease the risk of inadvertent starting and
resultant personal injury from the blades.
c) When transporting or storing the hedge
trimmer, always fi t the blade cover. Proper
handling 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 battery pack is
removed or disconnected. Unexpected
actuation of the hedge trimmer while clearing
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. Blades
contacting 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 accidentally 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.
h) Check the hedges and bushes for foreign
objects, e.g. wire fences and hidden
wiring.
i) Hold the hedge trimmer properly, e.g. with
both hands if two handles are provided.
j) The hedge trimmer is intended to be used
by the operator at ground level and not
on ladders or any other unstable support.
k) Before operating the hedge trimmer,
the user should make sure the locking
device(s) of any moving elements (e.g.
the extended shaft and pivoting element),
if any, are in the locked position.
