Cordless grass shear safety
warnings
1. Do not use the grass shear in bad weather
conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck
by lightning.
2. Keep all power cords and cables away from
cutting area. Power cords or cables may be
hidden and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
3. Wear ear protection. Adequate protective equip-
ment will reduce the risk of hearing loss.
4. Hold the grass shear by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the blade may contact
hidden wiring. Blades contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the grass shear
"live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
Keep all parts of the body away from the blade.
5.
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 while operating the grass
shear may result in serious personal injury.
6. When clearing jammed material or servicing
the grass shear, make sure the power switch is
off and the battery pack is removed or discon-
nected. Unexpected actuation of the grass shear
while clearing jammed material or servicing may
result in serious personal injury.
Carry the grass shear by the handle with the
7.
blade stopped and taking care not to operate
the power switch. Proper carrying of the grass
shear will decrease the risk of inadvertent starting
and resultant personal injury from the blades.
8. When transporting or storing the grass shear,
always use the blade cover. Proper handling of
the grass shear will decrease the risk of personal
injury from the blades.
