VII. Hedge trimmer safety warnings
1.
Keep all parts of the body away from the
blade. Do not remove cut material or hold
material to be cut when blades are moving.
Blades continue to move after the switch is
turned off. A moment of inattention while
operating the hedge trimmer may result in
serious personal injury.
2.
Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with
the blade stopped and taking care not to
operate any power switch. Proper carrying
of the hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of
inadvertent starting and resultant personal injury
from the blades.
3.
When transporting or storing the hedge
trimmer, always fit the blade cover. Proper
handling of the hedge trimmer will decrease the
risk of personal injury from the blades.
4.
When clearing jammed material or servicing
the unit, make sure all power switches
are off and the battery pack is removed or
disconnected. Unexpected actuation of the
hedge trimmer while clearing jammed material
or servicing may result in serious personal injury.
5.
Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the blade may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Blades
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the hedge trimmer "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
6.
Keep all power cords and cables away from
cutting area. Power cords or cables may
be hidden in hedges or bushes and can be
accidentally cut by the blade.
7.
Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather
conditions, especially when there is a risk
of lightning. This decreases the risk of being
struck by lightning.
