and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations differ-
ent from those intended could result in
a hazardous situation.
•
Carefully inspect the area to be cut
and remove all wires or other foreign
bodies.
Service
•
Have your power tool serviced by
a qualified repair person using
only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
Hedge trimmer safety warnings
•
Keep all parts of the body away
from the cutter blade. Do not re-
move cut material or hold material
to be cut when blades are moving.
Make sure the switch is off when
clearing jammed material. A mo-
ment of inattention while operating the
hedge trimmer may result in serious
personal injury.
•
Carry the hedge trimmer by the han-
dle 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 per-
sonal injury from the cutter blades.
• Hold the power tool only on the insu-
lated handle surfaces, as the cutting
blade may come into contact with
concealed power cables. Contact be-
tween the cutting blade and a live cable
may render metallic components live
and result in an electric shock.
•
Keep cable away from cutting area.
During operation the cable may be
hidden in shrubs and can be acciden-
tally cut by the blade.
• Before the work work, search the
hedge for concealed objects, e.g.
cable etc.
• Hold the hedge trimmer correctly,
e.g. with both hands on the han-
dles, if there are two handles. Loss
of control of the equipment may result
in injuries.
