HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
• Use both hands when operating the hedge trimmer. Using one hand could cause loss
of control and result in serious personal injury.
• 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. Blades coast after turn 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 cutter blade stopped. 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. Cutter blades contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
• DANGER – Keep hands away from blade. Contact with blade will result in serious personal
injury.
• Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs
and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
