f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean-
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to be performed-
Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement
parts-
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Short and Tall Hedge Trimmer safety warnings
• Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter blade. Do not remove cut material or hold
material to be cut when blades are moving. Make sure the machine is unplugged from the power
supply when clearing jammed material-
A moment of inattention while operating the trimmer may
result in serious personal injury.
• Carry the Short and Tall Hedge Trimmer by the handle with the cutter blade stopped. When
transporting or storing the Short and Tall Hedge Trimmer always fit the cutting device cover-
Proper handling of the pole hedge trimmer
and branch lopper will reduce possible personal injury
from the cutter blades.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter blade may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord-
Cutter blades contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Keep cable away from the cutting area-
During operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs and
can be accidentally cut by the blade.
