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.
