3. 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.
4. When clearing jammed material or servicing the unit, make sure
all power switches are off and the power cord is disconnected.
Unexpected actuation of the hedge trimmer while clearing jammed
material or servicing may result in serious personal injury.
5. Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping surfaces only,
because the blade may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Blades contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
hedge trimmer "live" and could give the operator an electric shock
6. 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.
7. Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather conditions,
especially when there is a risk of lightning. This decreases the risk
of being struck by lightning.
