•
Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the
cutter blade stopped. Proper handling of the hedge
trimmer will reduce possible personal injury from
the cutter blades.
•
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden
wiring. Cutter blades contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
•
Keep cable away from cutting area. During
operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs and
can be accidentally cut by the blade.
•
Check the hedge for foreign objects, e.g. wire fences.
WARNING: Do not expose to rain.
WARNING: Only use with auxiliary handle and guard
properly assembled to hedge trimmer. The use of the
hedge trimmer without the proper guard or handle
provided may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Remove plug from the outlet immediately
if the cable becomes damaged or cut.
WARNING: Some dust created by this product
contains chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
•
compounds in fertilizers
•
compounds in insecticides, herbicides and
pesticides
•
arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, wear approved
safety equipment such as dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
•
If using an cable outdoors, it is absolutely necessary
to use a cable suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cable
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
•
To reduce the risk of disconnection of appliance cord from
the cable during operating:
i) Make a knot as shown in below; or
ii) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining straps or
connectors described in this manual, or
iii) Secure the cable to the appliance plug as shown
or described in the Operating Instructions.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury due to
a loose electrical connection between the appliance's
plug and cable, firmly and fully attach the appliance
plug to the cable. Periodically check the connection
while operating to ensure it is fully attached. Do
not use a cable that provides a loose connection. A
loose connection may result in overheating, fire, and
increases the risk of a burning.
