Fig 2
During operation of the hedge trimmer there may be some visible “sparking”
or “flashing” visible within the motor housing of the hedge trimmer.
This is normal and is caused by the action of the brush motor being used.
Sparking or flashing will not cause injury to the operator nor does it suggest
a problem with the motor.
