Hedge Trimmer Safety Notes

When Operating a Hedge Trimmer :

  • Before transporting ensure that: the engine has been shut off, the scabbard has been fitted over the blades, and the trimmer is carried by its front handle.
  • Identify any work that might require cutting above shoulder height. This work should be kept minimal.
  • When refuelling, the trimmer should be placed in a flat clear area, and ensure there are no naked flames.
  • Perform a thorough pre-operational check daily.
  • Take particular care when cutting hedges adjacent to wire fences.  DO NOT touch the wire with the cutting blades.
