Safety Information
9
•
Be aware of your environment and all possible hazards that you may be unable to hear while
using the machine.
•
Keep an eye not only on the branches being cut, but also on fallen material, to avoid tripping.
•
Hold the power tool only by the insulated grips as the cutting blades could come into contact
with hidden power lines. Contact between the blades and a live wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool live and could give the operator an electric shock.
•
Keep your hands away from the cutting blades. Do not attempt to clear clippings or hold onto
the material to be cut while the blades are still in motion. Remove any jammed clippings only
when the appliance has been switched off. A moment of inattention while operating the hedge
trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
•
Wait until the tool has come to a standstill before putting it down.
•
After making settings to the working angle, check whether both setting levers are clicked
firmly into place. If one of the setting levers remains open, the second could be unintentionally be
released by a branch and the cutter bar could swing down.
•
Always ensure that the handles are dry and clean and that no petrol mixture is present.
•
Do not touch the exhaust.
•
Always hold the appliance with both hands. Your thumbs and fingers should encircle the
handles.
•
Do not cut any wood that is lying on the ground and do not attempt to saw roots that are pro-
truding from the soil. Avoid immersing the saw chain in the soil at all costs, as this could blunt the
saw chain.
•
Do not use the appliance unless the appropriate protective guard has been installed and is in
good condition.
•
When starting and operating the appliance, ensure that it does not come into contact with the
ground, stones, wire or other foreign material. Switch off the appliance before you put it down.
•
The cutting blade flings objects and soil with great force. These can blind or cause other
injuries. Wear eye, face and leg protection. Always remove objects from the work area before
using the cutting blade.
• T
he cutting blade continues running after the throttle lever has been released. A running-down
cutting blade can inflict cuts to yourself or other people standing nearby. Turn the engine off and
make sure that the cutting blade has come to a complete stop before performing any work on the
cutting blade.
