blade stopped. When transporting or storing the
power tool always fit the cutting device cover. Proper
handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce possible
personal injury from the cutter blades.

exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.

power tools should be stored indoors in a dry place, out
of reach of children.
•
Do not use the power tool in bad weather conditions,
especially when there is a risk of lightning. This
decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
•
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
