•
from the cutter blade. Do not re-
move cut material or hold material
to be cut when blades are moving.
Make sure the switch is off when
clearing jammed material.
A moment of inattention while operat-
ing the hedge trimmer may result in
serious personal injury.
•
Carry the hedge trimmer by the
handle with the cutter blade
stopped. When transporting or stor-
ing the hedge trimmer always fit the
cutting device cover. Proper han-

During operation the cable may be
hidden in shrubs and can be acciden-
tally cut by the blade.

the cutting blade and a live cable may
render metallic components live and
result in an electric shock.

Wear suitable clothing and work
clothes when working with the
