Safety instructions for hedge trimmers:
- Keep all parts of your body away from the
cutting blades. Do not try to remove cut-off
matter with the tool running. Do not try to
hold material to be cut off with your hand.
Remove cut-off matter that is stuck between
the blades only with the tool being switched
off!
When working with hedge trimmers even a
short moment of inattentiveness may result in
severe injury.
- Carry the hedge trimmer at the handle with
the cutting blades standing still. Always put
on the protection cover when transporting
or storing the hedge trimmer.
Careful han-
dling reduces the risk of injury through the
cutting blades.
• Check the hedge for hidden objects such as
wire fencing before beginning to cut.
• The hedge trimmer may not be used by per-
sons who are younger than 16 years of age or
by persons who have not been trained to use it.
• Keep the hedge trimmer away from children,
other persons and pets.
• Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. This could become caught
in moving parts. Wearing rubber gloves and
sturdy footwear is recommended. Wear a hair
net if you have long hair.
• Wear a dust mask if it is dusty where you are
working.
• Do not use the hedge trimmer if the cutter is not
properly secured or if it is damaged.
• Make sure before switching on the hedge trim-
mer that the blades do not come into contact
with stones or rubble.
• When working, keep the cutter away from your
body and extremities.
• Do not cut hard objects. This can cause injuries
and damage the hedge trimmer.
•
Use only in daylight or if there is sufficient arti
-
ficial lighting.
• When the hedge trimmer is not being used,
store it in a dry location in such a way that the
blade is not exposed and the hedge trimmer is
out of the reach of children.
• Never use the hedge trimmer in the rain. Keep
away from the wet and the damp. Do not leave
outdoors overnight. Do not cut damp or wet
grass.
• Make sure the hedge trimmer does not start ac-
cidentally. Do not carry the hedge trimmer with
fingers on both switches if the hedge trimmer
is plugged in. Make sure the switch is set to off
before plugging the plug into the socket.
