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. Also remove the
rechargeable battery from the
device. A moment of inattention while
operating the hedge trimmer may re-
sult in serious personal injury.
•
Carry the hedge trimmer by the
handle with the cutter blade
stopped. During transport or
10
storage, the cutter unit of the
hedge trimmer must always
be covered with the protective
hood of the cutter unit (16).
Proper handling of the hedge trimmer
will reduce possible personal injury
from the cutter blades.
•
Always ensure that all handles
and safety devices are securely
mounted when you use the
hedge trimmer. Never try to use an
incompletely assembled hedge trimmer
or a hedge trimmer with impermissible
modifications.
•
Always be familiar with your surround-
ings and pay attention to potential
dangers that you may not be able
to hear because of the noise of the
hedge trimmer.
•
Hold the power tool only on the
insulated handle surfaces, as
the cutting blade may come into
contact with concealed power
cables. Contact with a live wire can
also cause a charge in metal parts of
the appliance and result in an electric
shock.
•
Carefully inspect the surface to be cut,
and remove all wire fencing and other
foreign bodies.
• Prior to every use, check the appliance
for obvious defects such as loose,
worn or damaged parts. Check the de-
vice for significant damage or defects if
it is dropped.
•
Familiarise yourself with the instruction
manual before attempting to operate
the device.
