Know how to stop the hedgecutter quickly in an
emergency.
Cut a hedge only in daylight or in good artificial
light.

guards or without the guard in place.
Always ensure all handles and guards supplied
are fitted when using the hedgecutter. Never
attempt to use an incomplete hedgecutter or one
with an unauthorised modification.
Never hold the hedgecutter by the guard.
While operating the hedgecutter always be sure
of a safe and secure operating position at all times,
especially when using steps or a ladder.
Always be aware of your surroundings and stay
alert for possible hazards that you may not hear
whilst operating the hedgecutter.
Remove the plug from the socket:
– before checking, clearing a blockage or working
on the hedgecutter.
– after striking a foreign object, inspect the
hedgecutter for damage and make repairs as
necessary.
– if the hedgecutter starts to vibrate abnormally
check immediately.
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to ensure
that the hedgecutter is always in a safe working
condition.
The hedgecutter should be stored in a dry, high or
locked up place out of the reach of children.
