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 starting and resultant personal injury from the
blades.
3. When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer, 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 disconnected. Unexpected actuation of the hedge
trimmer 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 hidden 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.
Extended-reach hedge trimmer safety warnings
1. To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use the extended-
reach hedge trimmer near any electrical power lines. Contact
with or use near power lines may cause serious injury or electric
shock resulting in death.
2. Always use two hands when operating the extended-reach
hedge trimmer. Hold the extended-reach hedge trimmer with
both hands to avoid loss of control.
3. Always use head protection when operating the extended-
reach hedge trimmer overhead. Falling debris can result in
serious personal injury.
