Danger!
• Keep all parts of the body away from the
cutting blade. Do not remove cut material
or hold material to be cut when blades are
moving. Make sure the switch is off when
clearing jammed material. A moment of
inattention while operating the hedge trimmer
may result in serious personal injury.
• Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with
the cutting blade stopped. When transporting
or storing the hedge trimmer always fit the
transport protection sleeve. Proper handling of
the hedge trimmer will reduce possible injury
from the cutting blades.
• The cutting elements continue to move after the
motor is switch off.
• Inspect and maintain the trimmer regularly.
Have the trimmer repaired only by an
authorised repairer.
• Inspect the hedge or bushes for foreign
objects like wire fences
• Keep your hands and feet away from the
cutting area at all times.
• Always hold the trimmer at a safe distance
from the body.
• Always wear protective goggles.
• Always wear gloves.
• Only use the trimmer in daylight.
• Ensure the ventilation openings are clear of
debris at all times.
• Ensure there are no people of animals within 5
metres of your trimming area.
• Remove the plug from the power socket
before attempting any maintenance.
• After use the tool should be stored so that the
blade is not exposed.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the cutter blade may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutter
blade contacting a “live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live”
and could give the operator an electric shock.
