NEVER hold or allow others to hold the material you
are cutting.

ALWAYS keep both hands on the unit to control the
cutting action.

ALWAYS keep the muffler exhaust directed away
from your body.

NEVER touch the muffler, muffler cover, or surround-
ing area during operation.  Allow the unit to cool
down before performing any maintenance in the
muffler area.

NEVER allow flammable debris such as dried
leaves and sticks to build up in the exhaust area.
Heat from operation can ignite these materials, and
cause fire.

ALWAYS keep fingers, hands, and all other body
parts away from the cutting blades and cutting area.

NEVER allow anyone to reach into the cutting area
for any reason while the unit is running.

ALWAYS maintain a direct line of sight to the hedge
clipper blades and the area where cutting is being
performed.  Be aware of what lies in the path of the
blades at all times.

ALWAYS maintain a minimum safety zone of 15 feet
(5 meters) from where you are working.  Don’t allow
others to enter the safety zone unless you have shut
the hedge clippers off and the blades have com-
pletely stopped moving.

NEVER feed blades toward your body when cutting
- keep blades directed away from yourself at all
times.

NEVER exceed the cutting capacity of the hedge
clippers - forcing the blades to cut materials thicker
than the hedge clipper is designed to handle will
result in jams, blade damage, and poor overall
performance.
