Special 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
material which is to be cut. Only
remove trapped clippings when
the tool is switched off. One mo-
ment of carelessness in the usage of
the hedge trimmer can lead to severe
injury.
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
contact with concealed power
cables. Contact between the cutting
blade and a live cable may render me-
tallic components 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.
f) Wear suitable clothing and
work clothes when working
with the equipment. Do not hold
the equipment by the cutting
blade or lift it on the cutting
blade. Contact with the cutting blade
can cause injuries.
