Electrical safety: Hedge trimmers should be designed and manufactured to protect users from electrical hazards. This includes provisions for grounding, insulation and protection against electric shocks.
Mechanical safety: Hedge trimmers should be designed to protect users from mechanical hazards such as cuts and impacts. This includes protection requirements, the location of sharp edges and blades, and precautions to prevent accidental starting.
Thermal safety: Hedge trimmer should be designed and manufactured to protect users from thermal hazards such as burns or fire. This includes requirements for thermal insulation and the use of heat-resistant materials.
Ergonomic safety: Hedge trimmers should be designed to protect users from ergonomic hazards such as repetitive strain injuries or fatigue. This includes arm design, balance and weight distribution requirements.
Environmental safety: Hedge trimmers should be designed and built to protect users from environmental hazards such as noise or vibration. This includes requirements for noise and vibration levels and measures to reduce their effects.
