1.5 Noise
A person operating the hedge trimmer must use ear protection equipment.
However, take care when wearing the ear protection equipment. Your ability to hear shouts or alarms is
restricted.
1.6 Vibration
Vibration generated by the hedge trimmer may cause vibration induced Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome
(HAVS). This will cause swelling pain or numbness of hands, and there is a risk of affecting the hand.
To prevent such problems, do not continuously operate for a long time. Instead, take an appropriate break.
