Keep the cable away from the cutting area.

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 be-
tween the blades only with the tool being
switched off!
When working with hedge trim-
mers even a short moment of inattentiveness
may result in severe injury.
-
Hold the power tool by its insulated han-
dling surfaces as the cutting blades might
get in touch with the tool’s own power
cable.
If the cutting blades should acciden-
tally cut into a live power cable this might turn
metal parts of the tool ‘hot’ thereby causing an
electric shock.
-
Carry the hedge trimmer at the handle with
the cutting blades standing still. Always
put on the protection cover when trans-
porting or storing the hedge trimmer.
Care-
ful handling reduces the risk of injury through
the cutting blades.
