Safety Warnings
Special 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. 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.
WARNING — Only use with handle and guard
properly assembled to hedge trimmer. The use of
the hedge trimmer without the proper guard or handle
provided may result in serious personal injury.
• Use both hands when operating the hedge trimmer. Using
one hand could cause loss of control and result in serious
personal injury.
• Always wear eye protection. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of serious personal injury.
• 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.
• Before starting the hedge trimmer, make sure the blade is
not in contact with any object.
• Stop the unit, remove the battery pack, and make sure the
blade has stopped before setting the unit down.
• Never cut any material with a diameter larger than 3/4 in.
• Always stop the motor when cutting is delayed or when
walking from one cutting location to another.
• Keep unit clean of clippings and other materials. They may
become lodged in the cutting blades. If hedge trimmer is
equipped with a debris remover, do not use the debris
remover as a gripping surface.
• Store the unit inside in a dry place, either locked up or up
high to prevent unauthorized use or damage. Keep out of
the reach of children or untrained individuals.
• Replace blade cover when unit is not in use.
• Never douse or squirt the unit with water or any other
liquid. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from debris. Clean
after each use.
• Secure the unit while transporting. Battery operated units
do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet;
therefore, they are always in operating condition. Be aware
of possible hazards even when unit is not operating.
Remove the battery pack before making any adjustments,
cleaning, storing, or removing material from the unit, or
when not in use.
• Never use water or any liquids to clean or rinse off your
product and do not expose the product to rain or wet
conditions. Store indoors in a dry area. Corrosive liquids,
water, and chemicals can enter the product’s electronic
components and/or battery compartment and damage
electronic components and/or the battery pack, which can
result in a short circuit, increased risk of fire, and serious
personal injury. Remove any buildup of dirt and debris by
wiping the product clean with a dry cloth occasionally.
• When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer always fit
the cutting device cover.

them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you loan
someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.
