Hedge trimmer safety warnings

a) Keep all parts of the body away from the blade. Do not remove cut

material or hold material to be cut when blades are moving.

Blades continue to move after the switch is turned off. A moment of inattention

while operating the hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury.

b) Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the blade stopped and

taking care not to operate any power switch.

Proper carrying of the hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of inadvertent

starting and resultant personal injury from the blades.

c) When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer, always fit the blade

cover. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of personal

injury from the blades.

d) When clearing jammed material or servicing the unit, make sure all

power switches are off and the power cord is disconnected.

Unexpected actuation of the hedge trimmer while clearing jammed material

or servicing may result in serious personal injury.

e) Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping surfaces only, because

the blade may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

Blades contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the hedge

trimmer "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

f) Keep all power cords and cables away from cutting area.

Power cords or cables may be hidden in hedges or bushes and can be

accidentally cut by the blade.

g) Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather conditions, especially

when there is a risk of lightning.

This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.

Extended-reach hedge trimmer safety warnings

a) To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use the extended-reach

hedge trimmer near any electrical power lines. Contact with or use near

power lines may cause serious injury or electric shock resulting in death.

b) Always use two hands when operating the extended-reach hedge

trimmer. Hold the extended-reach hedge trimmer with both hands to avoid

loss of control.

c) Always use head protection when operating the extended-reach

hedge trimmer overhead. Falling debris can result in serious personal injury.

Search hedges and bushes for hidden objects (e. g. wire fences and hidden wires).

The use of a residual current device (RCD) with a trip current of 30 mA or less

is recommended.

Hold the hedge trimmer with both hands on both handles.

The hedge trimmer is intended for use when the user is standing on the ground

and not on a ladder or other unstable surface.

Before using the hedge trimmer, make sure that the locking devices of all moving

parts (e. g. the extended shaft and the pivot element) are in the locked position.

Electrical safety

The British Standards Institute recommend the use of a Residual Current Device

(R.C.D.) with a tripping current of not more than 30 mA. Check your R.C.D. every

time you use it.

Before use, examine cable for damage, replace it if there are signs of damage or

ageing.

If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by the

manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.

Do not use the unit if the electric cables are damaged or worn.

Immediately disconnect from the mains electricity supply if the cable is cut, or the

insulation is damaged. Do not touch the electric cable until the electrical supply

has been disconnected.

Your electric cable must be untangled, tangled cables can overheat and reduce

the efficiency of your unit.

Always disconnect the mains cable before disconnecting any plug, cable connec-

tor or extension cable.

Switch off, remove plug from mains and examine electric supply cable for damage

or ageing before winding cable for storage. Do not repair a damaged cable, send

the unit to the next GARDENA service Center or dealer authorised by GARDENA.

Always wind cable carefully, avoiding kinking.

Use only on AC mains supply voltage shown on the product rating label.

Under no circumstances should an earth be connected to any part of the unit.

If the unit starts unintentionally when the mains plug is connected, disconnect the

mains at once. Contact GARDENA Service to check the unit.

DANGER! This product makes an electromagnetic field while it operates.

This field may under some conditions interfere with active or passive

medical implants. To decrease the risk of conditions that can possibly

injure or kill, we recommend persons with medical implants to speak

with their physician and the medical implant manufacturer before you

operate the product.

Cables

Use only permitted extension cables as per HD 516.

v Ask your electrical specialist.

Personal safety

Always wear suitable clothing, protective gloves, and stout shoes.

Avoid contact to the oil of the blade in particular when you react allergic with it.

Thoroughly inspect the area where the unit is to be used and remove all wires

and other foreign objects.

All adjustments (inclining the blade head, altering the length of the telescopic

tube) have to be made with the sheath in place, and the unit must not rest on the

blade in the process.

Always hold the unit properly with both hands on both handles

[ Fig. S1 ].

Before using the unit and after any impact, check for signs of wear or damage

and repair as necessary.

Never attempt to use an incomplete unit or one with an unauthorised modifica-

tion.
