Always carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with lock button engaged until the product is
in use. Always install the blade cover when transporting or storing the hedge trimmer. Proper
handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
•
Always hold the power tool by the insulated grip handle. This will help protect the user should
the tool come in contact with any live wires. Contact with live wires may make exposed metal
parts of the tool live which could injure the operator.
•
Keep any cords or extension cords away from the cutting blade. Contact cords or cables may
damage the tool and increase the risk of injury for the operator.
•
Check the hedge for foreign objects before use.

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
•
Lead from lead-based paints
•
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
•
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure to these chemicals varies depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
