e) Hold the hedge trimmer only by
the insulated gripping surfaces
as the cutting blades may come
into contact with hidden wiring.
The blades coming into contact with a
live wire can also cause a charge in
metal parts of the device and result in
an electric shock.
f) Keep all mains cables and lines
away from the cutting range.
Cables and lines may be concealed
in hedges and bushes and be inadver-
tently cut by the blade.
g) Do not use the hedge trimmer
in bad weather, especially if
there is a danger of a storm.
This reduces the risk of being struck by
lightning.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS

hedges and bushes for hidden

tly, e.g. with both hands on the
handgrips if two handgrips are
provided.
Losing control of the device
can result in injuries.
c) The hedge trimmer is intended for work
during which the user stands on the
ground and not on a ladder or other
unstable surface.
d) The user is advised to ensure before
use of the hedge trimmer that the lo-
cking mechanism(s) of all moving parts
(e.g. the extended shaft and the pivo-
ting elements), where present, is/are in
the locking position.
