poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
•
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less Iikely to
bind and are easier to control.
•
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 differ-
ent from those intended could result in
a hazardous situation.
•
Hold the power tool by insulated grip-
ping surfaces only, because the cutter
blade may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord.
•
Carefully inspect the area to be cut
and remove all wires or other foreign
bodies.
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.
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 switch is off when clear-
ing jammed material. A moment of
inattention while operating the hedge
trimmer may result in serious personal
injury.
•
Carry the hedge trimmer by the han-
dle with the cutter blade stopped.
When transporting or storing the
hedge trimmer always fit the cutting
device cover. Proper handling of the
hedge trimmer will reduce possible per-
sonal injury from the cutter blades.
•
Hold the power tool only on the in-
sulated grip surfaces, as the cutting
blade can come into contact with
concealed power lines or its own
mains cable. Contact between the cut-
ting blade and a live cable may render
metallic components live and result in
an electric shock.
•
Keep cable away from cutting area.
During operation the cable may be hid-
den in shrubs and can be accidentally
cut by the blade.
Before the work, search the hedge
•
for concealed objects, e.g. cable etc.
•
Hold the hedge trimmer correctly,
e.g. with both hands on the handles,
if there are two handles. Loss of
control of the equipment may result in
injuries.
•
Wear suitable clothing and work
clothes when working with the
equipment. Do not hold the equip-
ment by the cutting blade or lift it
on the cutting blade. Contact with the
cutting blade can cause injuries.
