Precautions for using hedge trimmer

The following matters need to be noted when using a hedge trimmer:

Inspect the machine: Before using the hedge trimmer, check whether all parts of the machine are normal, especially the blades and other parts, to ensure that there is no damage or wear to ensure safe use. ‌
Wear protective equipment: Wear work clothes and protective masks during operation to prevent flying branches or machine parts from injuring people. ‌
Environment selection: Avoid using the hedge trimmer in bad weather such as rainy days, strong winds, thunder, or dense fog. Under these conditions, the operation is more difficult and there are safety hazards. ‌
Operation specification: When starting the hedge trimmer, the machine should be placed on the ground and the start rope should be pulled in the direction of the hedge trimmer. It is not allowed to start the machine while lifting it or starting it with your back to the scissors. ‌
Safety distance: During operation, the blade of the machine should not be facing any part of your body. Keep a safe distance to avoid accidental injuries. ‌
Continuous working time: Each continuous operation time should not exceed 1 hour, and you should rest for more than 10 minutes during the period. The working time per day should be controlled within 5 hours. ‌
Maintenance and repair: The blade should be maintained before and after use. Use a clean rag or cleaning brush to clean the stains and tree sap on the blade, and apply lubricating oil to extend the service life of the blade. ‌
Prohibitions: It is forbidden to use the hedge trimmer in poorly ventilated places such as indoors, greenhouses, or tunnels because the exhaust gas of the engine contains carbon monoxide that is harmful to the human body. ‌
Training and guidance: First-time users must use the hedge trimmer under the correct guidance of experienced people and ensure that they understand and comply with all safety operating procedures.
Following the above precautions can effectively reduce the safety risks when using the hedge trimmer and ensure the personal safety of the operator.
