4. Special Safety Instructions

a) Keep body parts well away from the blade.
Never attempt to remove cuttings with the
blade running, or to hold on to material to be
cut. The blades continue to run after operating the
switch. A moment of inattentiveness when using the
hedge trimmer can result in serious injuries.

b) Carry the hedge trimmer from the handle
when the blade is at a standstill and makes
sure not to operate the switch. Proper carrying of
the hedge trimmer reduces the risk of unintentional
operation and any subsequent injury caused by the
blade.
c) When transporting or storing the hedge
trimmer, always pull the cover over the blades.
Careful handling of the hedge trimmer reduces the
risk of injury from the blade.
d) Ensure that all switches are off and the
battery pack is disconnected before removing
jammed material or servicing the machine.
Unexpected operation of the hedge trimmer when
removing jammed material may lead to serious
personal injury.
e) Make sure you only hold the hedge trimmers
by the isolated handle grips: the cutting blade
could strike hidden power lines. Blades
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
f) Always keep any power lines away from the
cutting range. Lines could be hidden in hedges
and bushes and the blade could unintentionally cut
them.
g) Do not operate the hedge trimmer in bad
weather conditions, especially when there is a
risk of lightning. This reduces the risk to be hit by
lightning.
Inspect hedges and bushes for wire fences and
concealed lines.
Persons under the age of 16 must not used the
hedge trimmer.
Never use an incomplete tool, or one on which an
unauthorised modification has been made.
Do not switch on the tool if parts or guard devices
are missing or defective.
The machine features safety two-hand operation.
Have the machine repaired if it can be activated with
only one switch.
The machine is provided with a "Quick stop"
function. Have the machine repaired if braking time
is clearly lengthened.
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can
cause hearing loss.
Danger of injury from the sharp edges of the blades.
Never touch the blades. Wear protective gloves.
Always wear protective goggles, gloves, and
suitable shoes when working with the hedge
trimmer.
Always hold the machine with both hands and stand
firmly on the ground. The hedge trimmer is intended
for work where the operator stands on the ground
and not on a ladder or any other unstable floor
space. Pay attention to obstacles in the working
area - danger of tripping. Keep the cutting blade well
away from the body.
