lations only persons over the age of 17 may work
on their own with electric hedge trimmers. Use is
permitted for persons over 16 years if the work is

15. We would recommend that safety clothing is
worn during the work and that eyes, ears, hair,
hands and feet are fully protected. Protective
gloves should also be worn.
16. Ensure that the motor of your hedge shears can
not be switched on by mistake when you put it

Select the cutting height so that the blade does
not make contact with the ground and you can
operate the equipment from a secure position.
24. Take care when transporting the equipment (only
