CUTTING TIPS

See Figures 5 - 7, page ii.
DaNGER:
Never cut near electric cords or
lines. If blade jams on any electrical cord or line,
DO NOT TOUCH THE BLADE! IT CAN BECOME
ELECTRICALLY LIVE AND VERY DANGEROUS.
Continue to hold the hedge trimmer by the
insulated rear handle or lay it down and away from
you in a safe manner. Disconnect the electrical
service to the damaged line or cord before
attempting to free the blade from the line or cord.
Contact with the blade, other conductive parts of
the hedge trimmer, or live electric cords or lines
will result in death by electrocution or serious
injury.
WaRNING:
Clear the area to be cut before each
use. Remove all objects such as cords, lights, wire,
or loose string which can become entangled in the
cutting blade and create a risk of serious personal
injury.
