13.4 Special Safety Instructions for Machine Operation

 Keep the machine away from your body when you start it and work with it.
 Do not start cutting until you have ensured that there are no other people or animals in
the work area.
 Always start cutting with the cutting device running.
 Move the machine so that the cut is always away from the body.
 Never cut above shoulder height.
 Never work with the hedge trimmer standing on ladders.
 When working with the machine, make sure that you do not touch any objects that could
damage the cutting device, such as wires, fences, etc.
 Do not touch the ground with the cutting device running.
 Never touch the cutting device with your hands while the machine is in operation.
 Never attempt to remove objects stuck in the cutter while the engine is running.
 Prolonged continuous use of the machine may result in circulatory problems caused by
vibration, especially on fingers, hands or wrists. Therefore, take regular breaks and wear
suitable working gloves to reduce the vibration intensity.
 Excessive noise can cause hearing damage and temporary or permanent hearing loss.
Wear hearing protection certified to health and safety regulations to limit noise exposure.

13.5 Safety Instructions for Machines with Combustion Engine

 Do not touch the engine and/or muffler during operation or immediately after switching
off! These areas become hot during operation and can cause burns.
 Do not touch the spark plug connector when the engine is running (electric shock!).
 Do not operate the unit in closed areas or in rooms, unless there is adequate ventilation
through exhaust fans or hoses. (Danger from carbon monoxide!)
 Do not smoke when refuelling the machine.
 Refuel the machine only in a well ventilated area.
 Do not refuel the machine as long as the engine is running or the machine is still hot.
 Do not refuel the machine near an open flame.
 Do not spill fuel when refuelling.
 Do not crank a flooded petrol engine as long as the spark plug is removed - fuel
accumulated in the cylinder sprays out of the spark plug opening.
 Do not carry out an ignition spark test on petrol engines if the engine is flooded or petrol
can be smelled. A stray spark could ignite the vapours.
 Do not use petrol or other types of fuel or flammable solutions to clean machine parts,
especially indoors. Vapours from fuels and solutions may explode.
 Always keep the area around the muffler free of foreign substances such as leaves, paper,
cardboard, etc. A hot muffler could ignite these substances and cause a fire.
 Close the filler cap after refuelling.
 Check the fuel line and tank regularly for leaks and cracks. Do not operate the machine if
leaks in the fuel system are known.
 Store fuel only in designated and approved containers.
