injured.
► Work calmly and carefully.
► If light and visibility are poor: Do not work with the hedge
trimmer.
► Operate the hedge trimmer alone.

► Stand on the ground while working and keep a good
balance. If it is necessary to work at heights: Use a lift
bucket or a safe platform.

quickly. This can result in serious injuries.

object they can be brought to a sudden stop. The reactive
forces that occur can cause the user to lose control of the
hedge trimmer and be seriously injured.

remove any such objects.
