HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS

• Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter blade. 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. Blades coast after turn
off. A moment of inattention while operating the hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
DANGER:
Keep hands away from blade. Contact with blade will result in serious personal injury.
• Use both hands when operating the hedge trimmer. Using one hand could cause loss of control and result in
serious personal injury.
• Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutter blade stopped. When transporting or storing the hedge
trimmer always fit the cutting device cover. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce possible personal injury from the
cutter blades.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden wiring
or its own cord. Cutter blades contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
• Keep extension cord away from cutting area. During operation the extension cord may be hidden in shrubs and can
be accidentally cut by the blade.
• Check the hedge for foreign objects, e.g. wire fences.
CAUTION:
Do not expose to rain.
WARNING:
Remove plug from the outlet immediately if the extension cord becomes damaged or cut.
