2) Safety
2.1 General

The hedge trimmer may not be modified.

Only blades conforming to the supplier’s specifications may be mounted.

If individuals carry out work near the blades, they risk being cut by the
trimming side.

It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the correct tool holder and support
arm is used (see Section 0:1) Technical details). To this end, the following
points are important:

The maximum pressure and rotational speed (oil flow) must not be
exceeded. Exceeding these limits may damage the installation and injure
bystanders.

The support arm and tool holder must be sufficiently strong and stable
enough to bear the forces and torques caused by the hedge trimmer in all
circumstances.
2.2 During use

Consult the tool holder manual for the resulting sound load. As this is
significantly higher than the sound produced by the hedge trimmer, the sound
load from the tool holder is leading.

The installation may only be used for the work activities it is designed for.

The trimmer is not suited for work activities at ground level. There is a high
risk that the blades come into contact with the ground and/or obstacles due
to the construction of the hedge trimmer.

If people or animals approach or enter the safety zone, the hedge trimmer
and the work activities must be stopped immediately (see 4.2). This also
applies to situations where the hedge trimmer will be switched on for testing
after maintenance, etc.

If passers by constantly interrupt the work activities too much, consideration
should be given to fencing off the work area.

If the hedge trimmer begins to make a different sound and/or starts to
vibrate, the work and the hedge trimmer must be immediately stopped (see
4.2). The work must not restart until the cause is found and resolved.

If not trimming , the hedge trimmer must always be turned off. Thus, this also
includes the times when driving to the work area. At these times, there is
higher risk of coming into contact with bystanders during the trimming. In
these situations, the hedge does not act as protection and the driving route is
more difficult to estimate for bystanders or passers by. If there is no hedge,
parts can fly away unhindered over a large distance.

Inspection and maintenance work must be carried out.

During inspection and maintenance, the installation must not be used for
