Safety regulations for hedge trimmers
•
Make sure you keep all parts of your body
away from the blades. Never attempt to
remove the cuttings with the blades run-
ning or to hold material you wish to cut.
Always switch off the equipment before
attempting to remove any jammed cut-
tings.
A single moment of carelessness when
using the hedge trimmer can result in serious
injuries.
•
Carry the hedge trimmer by its handle
and make sure the blades have stopped.
Always fit the protective cover when
transporting the hedge trimmer or putting
it into storage.
Careful handling of the equip-
ment reduces the likelihood of injury by the
blades.
•
Hold the electric power tool by the insula-
ted handles because the blade may strike
concealed power cables or its own power
lead.
Contact between the blade and a live
cable can make the metal parts of the equip-
ment live and cause an electric shock.
•
Keep the cable out of the cutting zone.
During operation the cable may be covered
by hedges and cut through by accident.
