Always operate with
both hands firmly
gripping the unit.
Wear non-slip heavy-
duty gloves to improve
your grip on the
trimmer handle. Wear
snug-fitting clothes that
also permit freedom
of movement. NEVER
wear shorts!
Always wear a hard hat to reduce
the risk of head injuries during
operation of this unit.
Always wear eye and hear-
ing protection. Shindaiwa
recommends wearing a
face shield as additional
face and eye protection.
Wear sturdy footwear with
nonslip soles to provide good
footing. Steel-toed safety boots
are recommended.
Keep a proper footing and do
not overreach—maintain your
balance at all times during
operation.
Operating the Articulated Hedge Trimmer
Keep bystanders at least 50
feet (15 meters) away from
the operating trimmer to
reduce the risk of being struck
by falling objects or thrown
debris.
Secure long hair so
it is above shoulder
level.
