SAFETY WARNINGS
Cordless Pole Hedge Trimmer
Safety Warnings
Keep all parts of the body away from the blade.
1.
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.
2.
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 start-
ing and resultant personal injury from the blades.
3.
When transporting or storing the hedge trim-
mer, always fit the blade cover. Proper handling
of the hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of
personal injury from the blades.
4.
When clearing jammed material or servicing
the unit, make sure all power switches are off
and the battery pack is removed or discon-
nected. Unexpected actuation of the hedge trim-
mer while clearing jammed material or servicing
may result in serious personal injury.
5.
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 trim-
mer "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
6.
Keep all power cords and cables away from
cutting area. Power cords or cables may be hid-
den in hedges or bushes and can be accidentally
cut by the blade.
7.
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.

the pole hedge trimmer near any electrical
power lines. Contact with or use near power lines

ing in death.
