Is this bush safe to cut with a hedgcutter? I heard it gives off hairs bad for the lungs

Looks like a Viburnum rhytidophyllum and yes the little hairs are a defence against insects and can cause allergic like reactions etc.

You can look up " itchy Viburnum rhytidophyllum " and look at the family.
