6 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ Use of this hedge trimmer (including sharpen‐
ing the cutting blades) can generate dust and
other substances containing chemicals known
to cause respiratory problems, cancer, birth
defects and other reproductive harm.
– Consult governmental agencies such as
EPA, OSHA, CARB and NIOSH and other
authoritative sources on hazardous mate‐
rials if you are unfamiliar with the risks
associated with the particular substances
you are cutting or with which you are
working.
■ Inhalation of certain dusts, especially organic
dusts such as mold or pollen, can cause sus‐
ceptible persons to have an allergic or asth‐
matic reaction. Substantial or repeated inhala‐
tion of dust or other airborne contaminants,
especially those with a smaller particle size,
may cause respiratory or other illnesses.
– Control dust at the source where possible.
– Always work with properly sharpened cut‐
ting blades.
– To the extent possible, operate the hedge
trimmer so that the wind or operating
process directs any dust, mist or other
particulate matter raised by the hedge
trimmer away from the operator.
– When respirable dust or other particulate
matter cannot be kept at or near back‐
ground levels, always wear a respirator
that is approved by NIOSH and rated for
worksite-specific conditions. Follow the
recommendations of governmental
authorities (e.g., OSHA/NIOSH) and occu‐
pational and trade associations.
■ If the vegetation being cut or the surrounding
ground is coated with a chemical substance,
such as pesticide or herbicide:
– Read and follow the instructions and
warnings that accompanied the substance
