– before checking, clearing a blockage or
working on the hedgecutter.
– after striking a foreign object, inspect the
hedgecutter for damage and make repairs as
necessary.
– if the hedgecutter starts to vibrate abnormally
check immediately.
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to
ensure that the hedgecutter is always in a safe
working condition.
The hedgecutter should be stored in a dry,
high or locked up place out of the reach of
children.
Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
Do not attempt to repair the machine unless
you are qualified to do so.
Keep all parts of the body away from the
cutter blade. Do not remove cut material or
hold material to be cut when blades are
moving. Make sure the switch is off when
clearing jammed material. A moment of
inattention while operating the hedge trimmer
may result in serious personal injury.
Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle
with the cutter blade stopped. When
transporting or storing the hedge trimmer
always fit the cutting device cover.
Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce
possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the cutter blade may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutter
blades contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock..
Keep cable away from cutting area. During
operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs and
can be accidentally cut by the blade.
