and away from you in a safe manner. Make sure that electrical
service to the damaged electrical cable is disconnected before
attempting to free the hedge trimmer blade.
Contact with the blade, other conductive parts of the hedge
trimmer, or live electric cords or power lines will result in death
by electrocution or serious injury.

which can become entangled in the cutting blade and create a
risk of electric shock and serious personal injury.
