Additional Safety Rules for Hedge
Trimmer
1. Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter blade.
Do not remove cut material or hold material to be cut
when blades are moving. Make sure the switch is off when
clearing jammed material. Blades coast after turn off.
A moment of inattention while operating the hedge
trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
2. Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutting
blade stopped. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will
reduce possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer always fit
the cutting device cover.
3. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
because the cutter blade may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord. Cutter blades contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
