HEDGE TRIMMER 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.
A moment of inattention while
operating the hedge trimmer may result in serious personal
injury.

trimmer always fit the cutting device cover.
Proper handling

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.

Check the hedge for foreign objects before operation, e.g.
wire fences.
Take care that the cutting device does not come
into contact with wire or other metal objects.

Hold the hedge trimmer properly, e.g. with both hands if
