￭ Contacting foreign objects while cutting could damage the
cutting blades and may cause them to crack, chip, break
or jam. To reduce the risk of severe personal injury or
death from loss of control, and to reduce the risk of
damage to the hedge trimmer:
– Inspect the material to be cut and the surrounding
area for stones, fence wire, metal or other foreign
objects before starting work. Do not use the hedge
trimmer in areas where the cutting blades could
contact such objects.
– Take particular care when cutting next to, against or
near wire fences. Do not touch the wire with the
cutting blades.
– When working close to the ground, make sure that
no sand, grit or stones get between the cutting
blades.
– Do not cut any areas of the hedge, bush, shrub or
other vegetation that you cannot see.
￭ To reduce the risk of injury to bystanders:
– Do not allow other persons in the general work area.
– If cutting the top of a taller hedge, check the other
side of the hedge frequently for bystanders, animals
and obstructions.
￭ Check the cutting blades at regular short intervals during
operation, or immediately if there is a change in cutting
behavior:
– Switch off the hedge trimmer and remove the
connecting cord.
– Check the condition, tightness and sharpness of the
cutting blades.
– Inspect the hedge trimmer for loose parts (nuts,
screws, etc.) and for cracked, bent, warped or
damaged cutting blades. Replace damaged cutting
blades before using the hedge trimmer.
