Hedge trimmer safety warnings:

Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter
blade. Do not remove cut material or hold material
to be cut when blades are moving. Make sure the
switch is off when clearing jammed material. A
moment of inattention while operating the hedge
trimmer may result in serious personal injury..
Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the
cutter blade stopped. When transporting or storing
the hedge trimmer always fit the cutting device
cover.
Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will
reduce possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Cutter blades contacting a
„live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool „live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for
spring back.
A moment of inattention while operating the hedge
trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
