f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) 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 different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) 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.
b) If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
a similar qualified person to avoid any hazard.
(B) Additional safety rules for hedge-trimmers
a) 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 clearing jammed
material. A moment of inattention while operating the hedge trimmer may result in serious
personal injury
b) Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle 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 personal injury from the cutter blades
c) Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter blade may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutter blades contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
d) Keep cable away from the cutting area. During operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs
and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
e) Inspect the cutting area for any foreign objects hidden in the hedge (for ex.: wire fence, posts...)
f) For a safe use, always hold tool with two hands.
