serious personal injury.
b)
Hold the hedge trimmer by the han
-
dle when the blade is at a stand

still and do not place your fingers
near the power switch.

c) When transporting or storing the
hedge trimmer always fit the cutting
device cover.
Proper handling of the hedge trimmer
will reduce possible personal injury

During operation the cable may be
hidden in shrubs and can be acciden-
tally cut by the blade.
e) Hold the power tool only on the in

sulated handle surfaces, as the cut
-
ting blade may come into contact
with concealed power cables.

and a live cable may render metallic

Wear suitable clothing and work
clothes when working with the
equipment. Do not hold the equip

Inadvertently switching
on the hedge trimmer while removing
trapped clippings or during mainte-
