tric cords or lines will result in death by electrocution or

objects such as cords, lights, wire, or loose string which
can become entangled in the cutting blade and create a
risk of electric shock and serious personal injury.
„ When operating the hedge trimmer, keep the extension
cord behind the trimmer. Never drape it over the hedge
being trimmed.
„ Do not force the hedge trimmer through heavy shrubbery.
This can cause the blades to bind and slow down. If the
blades slow down, reduce the pace.
