tools operation. If damaged, have the

6. Hedge trimmer safety warnings
DANGER:
Keep hands away from blade
contact with blade will result in serious
personal injury.
• 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.
• Use both hands when operating the
hedge trimmer. Using one hand could
cause loss of control and result in
serious personal injury.
