General power tool safety
warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and
instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your

(cordless) power tool.
Cordless hedge trimmer safety
warnings
1. Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather
conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck by
lightning.
2. Keep all power cords and cables away from
cutting area. Power cords or cables may be hidden in
hedges or bushes and can be accidentally cut by the
blade.
3. Wear ear protection. Adequate protective equipment
will reduce the risk of hearing loss.
4. Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the blade may contact
hidden wiring. Blades contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the hedge trimmer "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
5. Keep all parts of the body away from the blade. Do
not remove cut material or hold material to be cut
when blades are moving. Blades continue to move
after the switch is turned off. A moment of inattention
while operating the hedge trimmer may result in
serious personal injury.
6. When clearing jammed material or servicing the
hedge trimmer, make sure all power switches are
off and the battery pack is removed or
disconnected. Unexpected actuation of the hedge
trimmer while clearing jammed material or servicing
may result in serious personal injury.
7. Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the
blade stopped and taking care not to operate any
power switch. Proper carrying of the hedge trimmer
will decrease the risk of inadvertent starting and
resultant personal injury from the blades.
8. When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer,
always use the blade cover. Proper handling of the
hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of personal injury
from the blades.
