follow the following safety precautions:
-
Hold the hedge trimmer firmly with both hands and with thumbs and fingers enclosing the handles.
-
Position your body and arms to allow it to resist unexpected forces. Do not extend your arms too far and
do not cut above shoulder height.
-
Keep blades away from poles, wires, and rocks to prevent recoil and blade damage.
-
Keep blades in good condition. Sharp and clean.
-
When using the hedge trimmers, never look away. If necessary, leave the throttle trigger in the idle
position.
