Safety Instructions Hedge trimmer

a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Wear ear protection. Adequate protective
equipment will reduc the risk of hearing loss.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) 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.
g) Carry the hedge trimmer by the 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.
h) 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.
