clearing jammed material
or servicing may result in
serious personal injury.

contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts
of the hedge trimmer "live"
and could give the operator
an electric shock.

or cables may be hidden in
hedges or bushes and can
be accidentally cut by the
blade.

when there is a risk of
lightning. This decreases
the risk of being struck by
lightning.

and bushes for foreign
objects, e.g. wire fences
and hidden wiring.
i) Hold the hedge trimmer
properly, e.g. with both
hands if two handles are
provided.
j) The hedge trimmer is
intended to be used by
the operator at ground
level and not on ladders
or any other unstable
support.

hedge trimmer, the user
should make sure the
locking device(s) of any
moving elements (e.g.
the extended shaft and
pivoting element), if any,
are in the locked position.

stopping mechanism
maintained at regular
intervals.
