appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and
personal injury, including the following:

READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE

KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
DANGER!
Do not operate near electrical power lines.
The unit has not been designed to provide protection
from electric shock in the event of contact with overhead
electric lines, Consult local regulations for safe distances
from overhead electric power lines and ensure that the
operating position is safe and secure before operating
the tool.

Keep hands away from blade. Contact
with blade will result in serious personal injury.
◾
Keep all parts of the body away from the blade. Do
not remove cut material or hold material to be cut
when blades are moving. Blades continue to move
after the switch is turned off. A moment of inattention

will decrease the risk of inadvertent starting and
resultant personal injury from the blades.
◾
When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer,
always fit the blade cover. Proper handling of the
hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of personal injury
from the blades.
◾
When clearing jammed material or servicing the
unit, make sure all power switches are off and
the battery pack is removed or disconnected.
Unexpected actuation of the hedge trimmer while
clearing jammed material or servicing may result in
serious personal injury.
◾
Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the blade may contact
hidden wiring. Blades contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the hedge trimmer "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
◾
Keep all power cords and cables away from cutting
area. Power cords or cables may be hidden in hedges
or bushes and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
◾
Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad water
conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning. This decreases the risk of being stuck by
lightning.
