6 ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR HEDGE TRIMMERS
Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter blade. Do not remove cut material or hold material to be
cut when blades are moving. Make sure the switch is off when clearing jammed material. A moment of
inattention while operating the hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutter blade stopped. When transporting or

storing the hedge trimmer always fit the cutting device cover. Proper handling of the hedge
trimmer will reduce possible personal injury from the cutter blades.

be accidentally cut by the blade.

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.
