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)Ensure that all power switches are off and the battery 
block is removed or disconnected before servicing the 
hedge trimmer or removing accumulated cuttings. 
Accidental switch-on of the hedge trimmer while servicing 
it or removing accumulated cuttings may result in severe 
injuries.
e)Hold the hedge trimmer by the insulated handles only 
because the blade may touch hidden electric cables. 
Contact of the blades with a live line may render metal 
parts live and cause an electric shock.
f) Keep any kind of electric cables away from the cutting 
area. Cables may be hidden in hedges or bushes and get 
nicked accidentally by the blade.
g)Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather, in particular 
not when there is a risk of lightning. 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.
