• Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutter blade
stopped. 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 cable away from cutting area. During operation the cable
may be hidden in shrubs and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
• Remove plug from the mains immediately if the cable is damged or cut.
• The use of a residual current device with a tripping current of 30 mA
or less is recommended.
DANGER:
Keep hands away from blade. Contact with blade
will result in serious personal injury.

EXTENSION CORDS

When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
