◾
Clear the area to be cut before each use.Check the hedge for
foreign objects, e.g. wire fences.
◾
Do not use on a ladder,rooftop,tree,or other unstable
support.
Stable footing on a solid surface enables better control of
the hedge trimmer in unexpected situations.
◾
Do not overreach.Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.Special care must be taken in slippery conditions(wet
ground,snow)and in difficult,over-grown terrain.Watch for hidden
obstacles such as tree stumps,roots and ditches to avoid fallen
branches,scrub and cuttings. Be extremely cautious when working
on slopes or uneven ground.
◾
Observe the cutting blades at all times
– do not cut any area if the
hedge that you can not see.When cutting the top of a taller
hedge,check the other side of the hedge frequently for
bystanders,animals and
obstructions.

or holding the hedge trimmer.
◾
On machines with a defined transport position(cutting blade
folded flat against the hedge trimmer shaft):Never start the
machine in the
Transport position,since the blades are not engaged in that position
and you therefore cannot visually check to see that they will be
stopped at idle when you start to adjust the cutting blade to the
desired cutting position (where the blades are engaged).
