Safety regulations for hedge trimmers
n
Make sure you keep all parts of your body
away from the blades. Never attempt to
remove the cuttings with the blades running
or to hold material you wish to cut. Always
switch off the equipment before attempting
to remove any jammed cuttings.
A single
moment of carelessness when using the hedge
trimmer can result in serious injuries.
n
Carry the hedge trimmer by its handle and
make sure the blades have stopped. Always
fit the protective cover when transporting the
hedge trimmer or putting it into storage.
Careful handling of the equipment reduces the
likelihood of injury by the blades.
n
Hold the electric tool by the insulated
handles, because the blade may come into
contact with the tool’s own mains lead.
Contact between the blade and a live cable can
also make the metal parts of the equipment live
and will cause an electric shock.
n
Keep the cable out of the cutting zone.
During
operation the cable may be covered by hedges
and cut through by accident.
