PRODUCT SAFETY WARNINGS
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORDLESS
HEDGE TRIMMER
1. 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. 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 cutter
blade stopped. When transporting or storing the
hedge trimmer always fit the cutting device cover.
Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce
possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
3. 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.
4. Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation
the cable may be hidden in shrubs and can be
accidentally cut by the blade.
5. Check the hedge for foreign objects before operating,
e.g. wire fences.
6. Only use the hedge trimmer with the guard properly
PRODUCT SAFETY WARNINGS
assembled. The use of the hedge trimmer without the
proper guard may result in serious personal injury!
7. Use both hands when operating the hedge trimmer.
Using one hand could cause loss of control and result
in serious personal injury.
8. Do not grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting
edges when picking up or holding the hedge trimmer.
9. 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.
10. Never allow children to operate the hedge trimmer.
11. Never remove or tamper with safety devices. Check
their proper operation regularly. Never do anything to
interfere with the intended function of a safety device
or to reduce the protection provided by a safety
device.
12. Never operate the hedge trimmer without proper
guards, plates, or other safety protective devices in
place.
13. Check damaged parts before further use of the hedge
trimmer. A guard or other part that is damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition
that may affect its operation. A guard or other part
that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorized service center unless
indicated elsewhere in this manual.
