•
ALWAYS provide a secure connection between
hedge clipper power cord and the extension cord
being used to provide power. Tie a safety knot in
the power cords to prevent accidental disconnec-
tion of the power cord during use.
•
ALWAYS keep power cords away from hedge
clipper blades. Move away from the cord when
cutting. Stop the unit and set it down if the power
cord becomes tangled. Unplug the unit and reposi-
tion the cord before proceeding with cutting.
•
NEVER place the power cord on or in the material
being cut. Use a longer cord to increase cutting
reach if necessary, or use a power outlet nearer to
the work area.
•
NEVER carry the hedge clipper by the power cord,
or yank on the cord to disconnect it from a power
outlet. Plug and unplug the cords using the connec-
tor plugs and sockets only.
•
ALWAYS avoid sharp edges and abrasive surfaces
that can damage power cord insulation. Damaged
cords can cause electrical shock or electrocution,
and sparks from short circuits can start fires.
•
ALWAYS be aware of cord location, and the trip
hazard that exists when extension cords are run
along the ground. Use an extension cord with a
bright color for ease of viewing, and make sure
others are warned when cord is being moved to a
new location.
•
NEVER tie a power cord around your waist. Keep
power cords free of all objects that could prevent the
hedge clipper from being held properly while cutting
is being performed.
•
ALWAYS use the manufacturer’s recommended
grounding techniques when using a portable gen-
erator to provide power to the unit. Read the gen-
erator operator’s manual and safety instructions
carefully before using a generator to provide power.
