Hedge trimmer safety
warnings
• 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.
• 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.
• When transporting or storing
the hedge trimmer, always fit
the blade cover. Proper handling of
the hedge trimmer will decrease the risk
of personal injury from the blades.
• When clearing jammed mater-
ial or servicing the unit, make
sure all power switches are off
and the power cord is discon-
nected. Unexpected actuation of the
hedge trimmer while clearing jammed
material or servicing may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
• Hold the hedge trimmer by in-
sulated gripping surfaces only,
because the blade may con-
tact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Blades contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the
hedge trimmer "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
• Keep all power cords and
cables away from cutting area.
Power cords or cables may be hidden
in hedges or bushes and can be acci-
dentally cut by the blade.
• Do not use the hedge trimmer
in bad weather conditions, es-
pecially when there is a risk of
lightning. This decreases the risk of
being struck by lightning.
