the hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
b) Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the blade
stopped and taking care not to operate any power
switch.
Proper carrying of the hedge trimmer will decrease
the risk of inadvertent starting and resultant personal injury
from the blades.
c) When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer,
always fit the blade cover.
Proper handling of the hedge
trimmer will decrease the risk of personal injury from the
blades.
d) When clearing jammed material or servicing the unit,
make sure all power switches are off and the battery
back is removed or disconnected.
Unexpected actuation
of the hedge trimmer while clearing jammed material or
servicing may result in serious personal injury.
e) Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the blade may contact hidden wiring.
Blades contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal
parts of the hedge trimmer “live” and could give the operator
an electric shock.
f) Keep all power cords and cables away from cutting
area.
Power cords or cables may be hidden in hedges or
bushes and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
g) Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather
conditions, especially when there is a risk of lightning.
This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
h) Check the hedges and bushes for foreign objects, e.g.
wire fences and hidden wiring.
i) Hold the hedge trimmer properly, e.g. with both hands
if two handles are provided.
j) The hedge trimmer is intended to be used by the
operator at ground level and not on ladders or any other
unstable support.
k) Before operating the hedge trimmer, the user should
make sure the locking device(s) of any moving elements
(e.g. the extended shaft and pivoting element), if any, are
in the locked position.
