HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
DANGER! Keep hands away from blade. Contact
with blade will result in serious personal injury.
◾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.
◾On machines with a dened transport position
(cutting blade folded at against the hedge
trimmer shaft): Never start the machine in the
transport position, since the blades are not engaged
in that position and you therefore cannot visually
check to see that they will be stopped at idle when you
start to adjust the cutting blade to the desired cutting
position (where the blades are engaged).
◾Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the
cutter blade stopped. When transporting or storing
the hedge trimmer always t the cutting device cover.
Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce
possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
◾Do not grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting
edges when picking up or holding the hedge trimmer.
◾Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden
wiring. 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.
◾Check the hedge for foreign objects before
operating, e.g. wire fences.
◾To reduce the risk of injury from loss of control,
be absolutely sure that the cutting blade is clear
of you and all other obstructions and objects,
including the ground, because when the tool starts,
the motor speed will be fast enough to engaged
and move the cutting blade on the tool.
◾Do not allow other persons in the general work
area. Ensure that other people and pets remain at least
15m away from the hedge trimmer when it is in use.
◾Never allow children to operate the hedge trimmer.
◾Use both hands when operating the hedge trimmer.
Using one hand could cause loss of control and
result in serious personal injury.
◾Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Special care must be taken in slippery
conditions (wet ground, snow) and in difcult,
overgrown terrain. Watch for hidden obstacles
such as tree stumps, roots and ditches to avoid
fallen branches, scrub and cuttings. Be extremely
cautious when working on slopes or uneven
ground.
◾Do not use on a ladder, rooftop, tree, or other
unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface
enables better control of the hedge trimmer in
unexpected situations.
◾Observe the cutting blades at all times – do not
cut any area if the hedge that you cannot see.
When cutting the top of a taller hedge, check the
other side of the hedge frequently for bystanders,
animals and obstructions.
