Hi All,

Apologies if this has been asked before.

Does anyone have a ppt for the safe operation of Hedge Trimmers that I could have.

This could include Battery and or fuelled types.

Many thanks

Clive

On a connected note, don't take the working at height element of hedge trimmers too lightly.  If someone is trimming the top of a hedge it can lead to some very nasty injuries.  Recently I know of one person who fell and sprained his ankle so badly he was off work for 6 weeks.  Gong back a few years I knew someone who broke his neck falling from hedge height.  He is ok now fortunately.  I wasn't involved in either accident in any way, I just happen to know both men.
