or very damp conditions. The electric motor is not
waterproof.

fully. The user is responsible for all damages to
third parties.
8. Never use the trimmer when under the influence

equipment of the hedge trimmer and must always
be worn when working with it. Also wear sturdy
shoes with anti-skid soles.

trimmer is in good and safe working order. Ensure
guards are fitted properly. The hedge trimmer
must not be used unless fully assembled.
