PAY ATTENTION TO USE YOUR HEDGE TRIMMER
Inspect the area to be cut before each use, remove objects which can be thrown or become entangled
in the cutting blades.
Always hold the Hedge trimmer with both hands and with the blade away from you before turning it on.
When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action so that the stems are fed directly into the blade.
Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed before entering the material to be cut.
Always work in the direction going away from people and solid objects such as walls, large stones,
trees, vehicles etc.
If the blade jam, immediately stop the Hedge trimmer. Remove the battery pack and clear the jammed
things from the cutting blade.
Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth.
Move the Hedge trimmer to feed the branches directly into the blade cutting edges.
Do not try to cut stems that are too large to feed into the cutting blade.
