1.3 HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY
■
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. The blade continues 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 take 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 power cord is disconnected. Unexpected actuation of the hedge
trimmer while clearing jammed material or servicing may result in serious person-
al injury.
■
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.
■
Always use two hands when operating the extended-reach hedge trimmer. Hold the
extended-reach hedge trimmer with both hands to avoid loss of control.
■
Always use head protection when operating the extended-reach hedge trimmer
overhead. Falling debris can result in serious personal injury.

■
Power your equipment with the Green Machine
GMBA6200-25 or GMBA6200-40. The use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
