Personal protective equipment

Incorrect or careless use of a hedge trimmer can turn it into
a dangerous tool that can cause serious or even fatal injury.
It is extremely important that you read and understand the
contents of this operator's manual.
You must use approved personal protective equipment
whenever you use the machine. Personal protective
equipment cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it will
reduce the degree of injury if an accident does happen. Ask
your dealer for help in choosing the right equipment.
