@
Warning! Hedge trimmer safety warnings.
u
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. Blades continue to move after the
switch is turned off. A moment of inattention while operat-
ing the hedge trimmer may result in serious personal
injury.
u
Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the
blade stopped and taking 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.
u
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.
u
When clearing jammed material or servicing the unit,
make sure all power switches are off and the battery
pack is removed or disconnected.
Unexpected actuation of the hedge trimmer while clear-
ing jammed material or servicing may result in serious
personal injury.
u
Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the blade may contact hidden
wiring. Blades contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the hedge trimmer "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
u
Keep all power cords and cables away from cutting
area. Power cords or cables may be hidden in hedges or
bushes and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
u
Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather condi-
tions, especially when there is a risk of lightning. This
decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.

To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use the pole
hedge trimmer near any electrical power lines. Contact
with or use near power lines may cause serious injury or
electric shock resulting in death.
