Cordless Hedge Trimmer Safety
Warnings
1.
Keep all parts of the body away from the blade.
Do not remove cut material or hold material
to be cut when blades are moving.
Blades
continue to move after the switch is turned off. A
moment of inattention while operating the hedge
trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
2.
Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the
blade stopped and taking care not to operate
any power switch.
Proper carrying of the hedge
trimmer will decrease the risk of inadvertent start-
ing and resultant personal injury from the blades.
3.
When transporting or storing the hedge trim-
mer, always fit the blade cover.
Proper handling
of the hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of
personal injury from the blades.
4.
When clearing jammed material or servicing
the unit, make sure all power switches are off
and the battery pack is removed or discon-
nected.
Unexpected actuation of the hedge trim-
mer while clearing jammed material or servicing
may result in serious personal injury.
5.
Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the blade may contact
hidden wiring.
Blades contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the hedge trimmer
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
6.
Keep all power cords and cables away from
cutting area.
Power cords or cables may be hid-
den in hedges or bushes and can be accidentally
cut by the blade.
7.
Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather
conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning.
This decreases the risk of being struck
by lightning.
8.
When handing the hedge trimmer to other
person, once put the hedge trimmer on the
ground and pick up the hedge trimmer after
you completely take your hand off.
Passing the
hedge trimmer by hand causes holding both the
front handle and the rear handle at the same time,
and then the hedge trimmer starts unintentionally.
Unintentional starting may causes serious injury.
