HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
DANGER
Keep all parts of the body away from the blade . 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
hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the blade stopped and taking care not to
operate any power switch . Proper carrying of the hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of
inadvertent starting and resultant personal injury from the blades.
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.
When clearing jammed material or servicing the unit, make sure all power switches are
off and the battery pack is removed or disconnected . Unexpected actuation of the hedge
trimmer while clearing jammed material or servicing may result in serious personal injury.
Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the blade may
contact hidden wiring . Blades contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the
hedge trimmer “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
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.
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.
Do not grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting edges when picking up or holding
the hedge trimmer .
Use both hands when operating the hedge trimmer . Using one hand could cause loss of
control and result in serious personal injury.
Do not use on a ladder, rooftop, tree, or other unstable support . Stable footing on a solid
surface enables better control of the hedge trimmer in unexpected situations.
Never allow children to operate the hedge trimmer .
Never remove or tamper with safety devices . Check their proper operation regularly .
Never do anything to interfere with the intended function of a safety device or to reduce
the protection provided by a safety device .
Never operate the hedge trimmer without proper guards, plates, or other safety
protective devices in place .
Check damaged parts before further use of the hedge trimmer . A guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function . Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition that may affect its
operation . A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by
an authorized service center unless indicated elsewhere in this manual.
