If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related
hazards.
5.4 Power tool use and care

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.

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.

Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.

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.

Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or sticking 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.

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to stick and are easier to control.

Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions
and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from intended could lead to a hazardous situation.
5.5 Service

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
6 ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR HEDGE TRIMMERS

The Hedge Trimmer must not be used by anyone under the age of 16.

parts. Use of rubber gloves and substantial footwear is recommended when working
outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

Use face or dust mask if operation is dusty.

Do not use the trimmer if the cutting device is not secured properly or is damaged.

Before starting the trimmer, make sure that the cutting blade is not touching stones or
debris.

When the trimmer is in operation, keep the cutting section away from all parts of the body.

Do not cut against hard objects. This could cause injury or damage the trimmer.

Only cut during broad daylight or with corresponding artificial light.

When the trimmer is not in use, store it in a dry place so that the blade is not exposed and
out of the reach of children.

Never use the trimmer when it is raining. Try to prevent it from getting wet or being
exposed to humidity.

Avoid unintentional starting. Don’t carry hedge trimmer with fingers on both switches.

Do not attempt to remove cut material or hold material to be cut when blades are moving.
Make sure trimmer switch is off when clearing jammed material from blades. Do not grasp
the exposed cutting blades or cutting edges when picking up or holding the hedge
trimmer.
