5) Hedge trimmer safety warnings
- Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter
blade. Do not remove cut material or hold
material to be cut when blades are moving. Make
sure the switch is off when clearing jammed
material. A moment of inattention while operating
the hedge trimmer may result in serious personal
injury.
- Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle, with the
cutter blade stopped and with the cutting device
guard fit. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer
will reduce possible personal injury from the
cutter blades.
- Keep cable away from cutting area. During
operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs and
can be accidentally cut by the blade.
- Check the hedge for foreign objects, e.g. wire
fences.
- Hold the hedge trimmer properly, e.g. with both
hands on the handles.
6) General safety precautions
- Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surface only, because the cutter blade may
contact hidden wiring. Cutter blades contacting
a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool " live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
- Never allow children to use the hedge trimmer.
- Do not use the hedge trimmer as a lever to
lift, move or break objects, nor lock it on fixed
supports.
- Beware of overhead power lines.
- Stop the engine and disconnect the hedge trimmer
from mains before cleaning or checking, when
clearing a blockage and before maintenance or
working on.
- While operating the hedge trimmer be always sure
of a safe and secure operating position especially
when using steps or a ladder.
- Do not use fuel for cleaning the hedge trimmer.
- Do not attempt to repair the machine unless you
are qualified to do so.
- Do not operate the hedge trimmer with a
damaged or excessively worn cutting device.
- Never use a damaged, modified, or improperly
repaired or assembled hedgetrimmer. Do not
remove, damage or deactivate any of the safety
devices. Only use blades of the length indicated in
the table (look pag. 10).
- When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer
always fit the cutting device guard.
- It is forbidden to apply tools or applications that
are not the ones indicated by the manufacturer
onto the hedge trimmer's power take-off.
- The hedge trimmer must only be used to trim
hedges or small bushes. It is forbidden to cut other
types of material.
- Always be aware of your surroundings and stay
alert for possible hazards that you may not hear
due to the noise of the hedge trimmer.
WARNING: – National regulations could limit use
of the machine.
- Do not operate the machine unless you have
received specific instruction on its use. First time
users must familiarise themselves thoroughly with
the operation of the machine before working in
the field.
- All labels with health hazards must be kept
in good conditions. In case of damage or
deterioration, immediately substitute them (see
pag.2).
- Please note that the owner or the user is
responsible for any accidents or damage to third
parties or their property.
- Keep this manual on hand and consult it before
each use of the tool.
- The use of protections for the ear requests
much more attention and caution, because the
perception of danger audio signals (screamings,
alarms, etc.) is limited.
- Never use the machine in bad weather, for
instance in fog, in rain, strong winds, intense cold,
etc. Extremely hot weather may cause overheating
of the machine.
- If you encounter a situation where you are
uncertain how to proceed you should ask an
expert. Avoid all usage which you consider to be
beyond your capability. Contact your dealer or
your service workshop.
WARNING - Watch out for thrown objects. Always
wear approved eye protection. Never lean over the
cutting attachment guard. Stones, rubbish, etc. can
be thrown up into the eyes causing blindness or
serious injury.
7) Service
- Have your hedge trimmer serviced by a qualified
repair person using only original replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the hedge
trimmer is maintained.
