Appliance-specific safety instructions
for hedge trimmers
■
Keep your hands away from the cutting blades.
Do not attempt to clear clippings or hold onto
the material being cut while the blades are still
in motion. The blades keep moving after the
switch has been moved to the off position.
A moment of inattention while operating the
hedge trimmer may result in serious personal
injury.
■ Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with
the blade at a standstill and be careful not to
operate the switch. Carrying the hedge
trimmer correctly will reduce the risk of acci-
dental activation and any resulting injury from
the blade.
■
Hold the hedge trimmer only by the insulated
grips as the blade could come into contact
with hidden power lines. Contact between the
blade and a live wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool live and could give the
operator an electric shock.
■ Keep all mains cables away from the cutting
area. Cables can be hidden in hedges and
bushes and be cut accidentally by the blade.
■ When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer,
always pull the protective cover over the blades.
Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will
reduce the risk of injury from the blades.
■ Make sure that all switches are turned off and
the battery has been removed before removing
trapped clippings or servicing the machine.
Unexpected activation of the hedge trimmer
when removing trapped material can cause
serious injury.
■ Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather,
especially if there is a risk of a thunderstorm.
This reduces the risk of being struck by lightning.
Reduce the risk of a fatal electric shock by never
using the extended hedge trimmer near electrical
wires. Contact with or use near power lines can
cause serious injuries and/or a fatal electric
shock.
