Appliance-specific safety instructions for hedge
trimmers
■
Keep your hands away from the cutting blades. Do not attempt to
clear clippings or hold onto the material to be cut while the blades
are still in motion. Remove any jammed clippings only when the
appliance has been switched off. Also remove the plug from the
power socket. A moment of inattention while operating the hedge
trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
■ Carry the hedge trimmer by the front handle when switched off, and
with the cutter bar facing away from your body. When transporting
or storing the trimmer, always put on the protective cover. Careful
handling of the appliance reduces the likelihood of accidental contact
with the moving blades.
■ Hold the power tool only by the insulated grips as the cutting blades
could come into contact with hidden power lines or the appliance's
own power cable. Contact between the blades and a live wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool live and could give the
operator an electric shock.
■ Keep the cable out of the cutting area. While working, the cable can
be hidden in the bushes and be accidentally cut.
■ Inspect the surface to be cut carefully and remove any wires or other
obstructions.
■ It is recommended to use a residual current circuit breaker with a trip-
ping current of 30 mA or less.
