4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting attachments sharp and
clean. Properly maintained cutting
attachments with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories,
tool bits etc. in accordance with
these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your electric power tool
serviced by a qualified repair person
using only original replacement
parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is
maintained.
Hedge Trimmer Safety Warnings

–
from the cutting blades. 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. A
moment of inattention while
operating the hedge trimmer may
result in serious personal injury.
Carry the hedge trimmer by the
–
handle with the cutting blades
stopped. When transporting or
storing the hedge trimmer always fit
the blade scabbard. Proper
handling of the hedge trimmer will
reduce possible personal injury
from the cutting blades.
Always hold your electric power tool
–
by the insulated handles because
the cutting blades may contact
hidden electrical wires or your own
power cord. Any blade contact with
a live wire may energize metallic
parts of the power tool and result in
an electric shock.
Keep the power cord away from
–
cutting area. During operation the
power cord may be hidden in shrubs
and can be accidentally severed by
the blade.
