24 General Power Tool Safety Warnings
c) When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer, always fit
the blade scabbard. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer
will reduce the risk of injury from the cutter blades.
d)Before removing trapped cuttings or servicing the
machine, ensure that all switches are switched off and the
battery has been removed or is switched off. Unexpected
startup of the hedge trimmer while removing trapped
cuttings may cause severe injuries.
e)Hold the hedge trimmer only by the insulated handles
because the cutting blade may accidentally cut through
hidden power lines. Blade contact with a live line can also
render metal machine parts live and cause an electric
shock.
f) Keep any kind of power lines away from the cutting area.
Cables may be hidden in hedges or bushes and get nicked
accidentally by the blade.
g)Do not use your hedge trimmer in bad weather, in
particular not in thunderstorms. This reduces the risk of
being struck by lightning.
24.9 Additional safety warning for hedge trimmer
with extended range
a)Never use the hedge trimmer with extended range in the
vicinity of electric lines to reduce the risk of fatal electric
shock. Touching or using extended-range hedge trimmers
in the vicinity of electric lines may result in severe injuries
or fatal electric shock.
b)Always use both your hands to hold the extended-range
hedge trimmer. Use both your hands to hold the extended-
range hedge trimmer to avoid losing control over it.
c) Wear head protection when doing overhead work with the
extended-range hedge trimmer. Falling fragments can
cause severe injuries.
