Cutting blades contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the
hedge trimmer "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
Never modify the hedge trimmer or
use unauthorized parts or
attachments. Doing so is dangerous. It
will also void the warranty.
Always be aware of your surroundings
and stay alert for possible hazards of
which you may not be aware due to the
noise of the operating hedge trimmer.
WARNING:
power lines.
Before operating the hedge trimmer,
inspect the cutting blades to ensure
they are securely mounted, clean, sharp
and in good condition (not warped).
Never cut in areas you cannot see
completely. Unseen hazards will be
dangerous.
Use only in daylight or in good quality
artificial light.
Before operating the hedge trimmer,
check the lockout and trigger switches
to make sure they are functioning freely.
Avoid operating the hedge trimmer
while people, children and pets are
nearby.
If the cutting blades strike a foreign
object or the hedge trimmer starts
making any unusual noise or vibration,
turn the switches OFF, wait for the
cutting blades to stop and remove the
Power Cell. Tighten any loose parts and
inspect the tool for damage. Replace
any damaged parts with identical
replacement parts.

main handle on the machine.

such as from upon ladders, trees, steep
slopes, slippery surfaces, rooftops, etc.

the hedge trimmer to slide or roll,
