Double Insulation
While cutting a hedge, always wear
adequate shoes and pants.
Avoid operating the equipment if hedges
are humid; never operate it when
raining.
Walk; do not run.
Use caution when working in inclined
areas (slopes).
When working on an inclined area, wear
non-skid shoes.
Only use the equipment during daylight
or under good lighting.
Always run the hedge trimmer with the
protection device.
When trimming hedges, keep the power
cord away from the cutting blades.
Attention!
Whenever cleaning or
maintaining, make sure the
equipment is switched off and
unplugged.
Warning:
The double insulation does not
substitute the precautions to be taken
when using the hedge trimmer. It is an
additional safety feature against
accidents that may be caused by a
failure of the equipment insulation
system.
