Initial Operation - Flymo EasiCut 610XT Operator's Manual

Hedge trimmer safety warnings:
• 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 pos sible
per sonal 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 the cutting area. During operation the cable may
be hidden in shrubs and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
