transporting or storing the hed-
ge trimmer. Careful handling of
the hedge trimmer reduces the risk of
injury from the blade.
d) Ensure that all switches are
turned off and the battery is
removed or switched off before
removing jammed clippings or
maintaining the machine. Unex-
pected operation of the hedge trimmer
when removing jammed material can
lead to serious injuries.
e) Hold the hedge trimmer only by
the insulated gripping surfaces
as the cutting blades may come
into contact with hidden wiring.
The blades coming into contact with a
live wire can also cause a charge in
metal parts of the device and result in
an electric shock.
f) Keep all mains cables and lines
away from the cutting range.
Cables and lines may be concealed
in hedges and bushes and be inadver-
tently cut by the blade.
g) Do not use the hedge trimmer
in bad weather, especially if
there is a danger of a storm.
This reduces the risk of being struck by
lightning.
