Safety Directions for the cordless
grass & shrub cutter
1) SPECIAL SAFETY DIRECTIONS FOR
HEDGE TRIMMERS
a) Keep all body parts away from
the blade. Do not attempt to re-
move clippings while the blade is
operating or to hold on to mate-
rial which is to be cut. Only re-
move trapped clippings when the
tool is switched off. One moment of
carelessness in the usage of the hedge
trimmer can lead to severe injury.
26
b) Carry the hedge trimmer at
the handle with an idle blade.
Always pull on the protective
cover during transport and stor-
age of the hedge trimmer.
Careful handling of the tool reduces
the risk of injury from the blade.
c) Hold the power tool only on the
insulated handle surfaces, as the
cutting blade may come into con-
tact with concealed power cables.
Contact between the cutting blade and
a live cable may render metallic compo-
nents live and result in an electric shock.
d) Before the work, search the
hedge for concealed objects,
e.g. cable etc. To avoid damaging
the equipment.
e) Hold the hedge trimmer cor-
rectly, e.g. with both hands on
the handles, if there are two
handles. Loss of control of the equip-
ment may result in injuries.
