SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

General precautions

- In order to ensure safe operation, the operator must

read this instruction manual to familiarize him or herself

with the operation of the hedge trimmer. Users insufficiently

informed will endanger themselves as well as others due to

improper handling.

- First-time users should have an experienced hedge-trim-

mer user show them how to use the trimmer.

- Lend the hedge trimmer only to persons who are experi-

enced in the use of such machines. Always give the the

instruction manual.

- Persons under 18 years of age must not be allowed to

operate the hedge trimmer. Persons over the age of 16

years may, however, use the hedge trimmer for instruc-

tional purposes as long as they are under the supervision

of a qualified individual.

- Always pay the utmost attention when using the hedge

trimmer!

- Use the hedge trimmer only if you are in good physical

condition. If you are tired, your attention will be reduced. Be

especially careful at the end of a working day. Perform all

work calmly and carefully. The user is responsible for all

damages to third parties.

- Never use the trimmer when under the influence of alcohol,

drugs or medication.

Protective equipment

- In order to prevent, eye, hand and foot injuries as well

as hearing loss, always wear the protective clothing

and gear described in the floowing when working with

the hedge trimmer.

- Clothing should be appropriate, i. e. snugly fitting but not so

tight as to be a hindrance. Do not wear jewellery or clothing

which could get caught on twigs and branches. If you have

long hair, always wear a hairnet!

- The protective glasses or goggles keep cut material out

of your eyes and prevent eye injuries. Always wear eye

protection when using the hedge trimmer!

Should one of the parts listed here be missing, please consult

your sales agent!

- Wear adequate hearing protection equipment (ear muffs,

ear plugs, etc.). Octave brand analysis upon request.

- Work gloves of stout leather are part of the basic equip-

ment of the hedge trimmer and must always be worn when

working with it.

- When using the trimmer always wear sturdy shoes with

anti-skid soles.

Starting operation

- Before starting work check to make sure that the

trimmer is in good and safe working order. This is a

must!

- Do not use the hedge trimmer in the rain or in

wet or very damp conditions. The electric motor

is not waterproof.

- Do not use the hedge trimmer if it is wet or damp.

- Do not use the hedge trimmer near combustible gases or

dust. The motor generates sparks. Explosion hazard!

- Check to make sure that the voltage and frequency of the

power supply correspond to the specifications given on the

indentification plate. Max. back-up fuse 16 A. We

recommend the use of a residual-current-operated circuit

breaker (ground-fault circuit interruptor) or an earth leakage

current protector.

- Make sure that no children or other persons are within 5

meters (17 feet) of the unit during operation. Watch out for

animals.

- The hedge trimmer must not be used unless fully assembled!

- Make sure you have a secure footing before starting

operation.

- Do not start the hedge trimmer without having a firm

grip on both handles with

both hands! The trimmer is

designed for use by left- or right-handers, and can be used

on both sides equally well.
