WARNING: Do not use the shoulder strap when the tool equipped with the
battery pack BAX1501/BAX1501-FC. Failure to do this could result in serious

◾

◾

◾
If situations occur that are not covered in this manual, use care and good
judgment. Contact the EGO Customer Service Center for assistance.
◾
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct
others who may use this tool. If you lend this tool to someone else, also lend
these instructions to them to prevent misuse of the product and possible injury.
◾
Clear the area to be cut before each use. Check the hedge for foreign
objects, e.g. wire fences.
◾
Do not use on a ladder, rooftop, tree, or other unstable support. Stable footing
on a solid surface enables better control of the hedge trimmer in unexpected
situations.
◾
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Special care
must be taken in slippery conditions (wet ground, snow) and in difficult,
overgrown terrain. Watch for hidden obstacles such as tree stumps, roots
and ditches to avoid fallen branches, scrub and cuttings. Be extremely
cautious when working on slopes or uneven ground.
◾
Observe the cutting blades at all times – do not cut any area if the hedge
that you cannot see. When cutting the top of a taller hedge, check the other
side of the hedge frequently for bystanders, animals and obstructions.
◾
Do not grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting edges when picking up
or holding the hedge trimmer.
◾
On machines with a defined transport position (cutting blade folded flat
against the hedge trimmer shaft): Never start the machine in the transport
position, since the blades are not engaged in that position and you therefore
cannot visually check to see that they will be stopped at idle when you start
to adjust the cutting blade to the desired cutting position (where the blades
are engaged).
