3.1

Hedge trimmer safety warnings

■
Keep all parts of the body away from the
blade. Do not remove cut material or hold
material to be cut when blades are mov-
ing. The cutting blades continue to move
even after the hedge trimmer has been
switched off. A moment of inattention while
operating the hedge trimmer may result in se-
rious personal injury.
■
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.
■
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.
■
Ensure that the appliance is switched off
before clearing jammed material or servic-
ing the machine. Unexpected actuation of
the hedge trimmer while clearing jammed
material or servicing may result in serious
personal injury.
■
Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated grip-
ping surfaces only, because the cutting
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.
■
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.
■
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.

ous injury or electric shock resulting in death.
■
Always use two hands when operating the
extended-reach hedge trimmer. Hold the
extended-reach hedge trimmer with both
hands to avoid loss of control.

ing the extended-reach hedge trimmer
