8. Stay alert
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired, under the
influence of alcohol, prescription medicines or drugs
9. Remarks
The safety precautions and instructions given in this manual are unable to cover in detail all the
conditions and situations that may arise.
The operator and/or user must use common sense and caution when operating the product
especially for any matters that are not referred in the above
10. Important: Switch off and unplug the tool immediately upon occurrence of any of the following:
- Sparks on the brushes with smoke coming out of the motor housing.
- Deterioration of the power cord, extension cord or switch.
- If smoke or if burnt smell appears.
- If cutting device get blocked.
- The tool shall not be reconnected to the power supply as long as the cause of the malfunction has
not been discovered and repaired by a qualified technician.
- The hedge trimmer cutter blades should always be replaced in pairs.
Note: If you notice sparks when you release the switch, through the ventilation slots, that is part of
the normal operation of the tool and is not a default.
11. Residual risks
Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors.
The following hazards may arise in connection with the tool's construction and design:
a. Damage to lungs if an effective dust mask is not worn.
b. Damage to hearing if effective hearing protection is not worn.
c. Health defects resulting from vibration emission if the power tool is being used over longer
period of time or not adequately managed and properly maintained.
12. WARNING!
This machine produces an electromagnetic field during operation. This field may under some
circumstances interfere with active or passive medical implants. To reduce the risk of serious or
fatal injury, we recommend persons with medical implants to consult their physician and the
medical implant manufacturer before operating this machine.
13. Wear hearing protection while operating the power tool.
The declared vibration total value has been measured in accordance with a standard test method and
may be used for comparing one tool with another.
The declared vibration total value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
14. Warning: The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the
declared total value depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
There is the need to identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation
of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as
the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).
15. Vibrations
Prolonged used of a tool (or other machines) may expose the operator to vibrations tht may product
whitefinger disease (Raynaud's syndrome) or carpal tunnel syndrome.
These conditions reduce the hand's ability to feel and regulate temperature, produce numbness and
may cause nerve and circulation damage and tissue necrosis.
All factors that contribute to the whitefinger disease are not known.
Some of the factors mentioned in the development of the whitefinger disease are: cold weather,
smoking and diseases or physical conditions that affect blood vessels and blood transportation, as
well as, high vibration levels and long periods of exposure to vibration.
To help in the prevention and reducing the risk of the whitefinger disease, please note the following:
-- wear gloves and keep your hands warm;
