trimmer. Careful handling of
the appliance reduces the risk
of injury from the blade.
■
Hold the power tool by insu-
lated gripping surfaces
only, because the cutting
blade may contact con-
cealed electrical cables or
its own cable. Contact
between the cutting blade and
a live cable can result in elec-
trical current flowing through
metal parts of the appliance,
leading to an electric shock.
■
Keep the cable away from
the cutting area. During op-
eration, the cable can become
obscured in the bushes and
accidentally severed.
