spectators, including pets, should be kept a safe distance 

away from the work area.

5. Use the right tool – Do not use this machine for any job 

except that for which it was intended.

such articles can become caught in moving parts. Wear 

a protective covering to contain long hair. Wearing rubber 

gloves and substantial non-slip footwear is recommended 

when working outdoors.

seconds after turning off the machine.

8.  Moving parts – Keep hands and feet away from moving

and when performing any other maintenance task.

13. Store idle tool indoors – When not in use, the hedge 

trimmer should be stored indoors in a dry and high or 

locked-up place out of the reach of children.

14. Maintain the hedge trimmer with care – Keep the 

cutting edges sharp and clean for optimal performance 

and to reduce the risk of injury. Keep the handles 

dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Check for 

misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage 

of parts and any other condition that may affect the 

power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power 

tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused 

by poorly maintained power tools. Follow the additional 

recommendations described in the maintenance section 

of this manual.

trimmer in rain or in damp or wet locations. Do not operate 

the hedge trimmer in gaseous or explosive atmospheres 

or use the hedge trimmer near flammable or combustible 

liquids. Motors in these tools normally spark, and the 

sparks might ignite fumes.

16. Stay alert – Watch what you are doing. Use common 

sense. Do not operate the hedge trimmer when you  

are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol

, or  

other medication.
