Hedge trimmer safety warnings
● Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather
conditions, especially when there is a risk of

ting area. Power cords or cables may be hidden in
hedges or bushes and can be accidentally cut by the
blade.
● 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.
● 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.
● When clearing jammed material or servicing the
hedge trimmer, make sure all power switches
are off and the battery pack is removed or dis-
connected. Unexpected actuation of the hedge
trimmer while clearing jammed material or servicing
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.
