2.2. SAFETY WARNING FOR THE HEDGE-TRIMMER
1.
Keep all parts of the body away from the cutting blade. Do not clear away cut materials or hold elements
when blades are moving. The cutting blades continue to move after powering off. A moment of inattention
while operating a hedge-trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
2.
Carry the hedge-trimmer by the handle with the cutter bar stopped and being careful not to press the On/
Off switch. Proper transportation of the hedge-trimmer reduces the risk of inadvertent starting of the machine
and bodily injuries from the blades.
3.
When transporting or storing the hedge-trimmer, always install the blade protector sheath. Correct use
of the hedge-trimmer reduces the risk of bodily injury from the blades.
4.
When clearing jams or repairing the machine, make sure all power switches are off and the power cable
is removed or disconnected. Unintentional activation of the hedge-trimmer when clearing jams or undertaking
repairs can result in serious injury.
Hold the hedge-trimmer with both hands on the insulated gripping surfaces only, as the blade may come
5.
into contact with hidden electrical wires. Blades that come in contact with an "active" wire may "electrify"
the exposed metal parts of the hedge-trimmer and expose the operator to electrical shock.
6.
Keep all power cords and cables away from the cutting area. Power cords and cables may be hidden in
hedges or bushes and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
7.
Do not use the hedge-trimmer in adverse weather conditions, especially if there is a risk of lightning.
This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
