Look after your hedge trimmer carefully. Keep it
clean and sharp to ensure efficient and safe
cutting. Follow the maintenance and cleaning
instructions.

The German Farmers Union, for example, pro-
hibits the use of electric hedge trimmers by per-
sons aged 17 or less. Persons aged 16 and
above may only use electric hedge trimmers if
supervised by an adult.
