of parts, and any other condition that may affect the
tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced
before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
–
Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your tool. Accessories that may
be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury
when used on another tool.
Service:
–
Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of
serious injury or damage to the tool.
FOR HEDGE TRIMMERS
DANGER
If the hedge trimmer blade jams or gets caught
on an electrical cord or wires, DO NOT TOUCH
THE BLADE FOR ANY REASON! IT CAN BE
ELECTRICALLY LIVE AND CAUSE SERIOUS OR
FATAL INJURY!
Release or drop the trimmer in the
quickest, safest way. If possible, disconnect the
battery from the tool. If that is not possible, call
an electrician, electrical contractor, or the power
company for assistance. Failure to follow these
danger warning will cause serious personal injury
and possible death. Keep hands and body parts
away from the blade at all times
WARNING
Use both hands when operating the hedge trimmer.
Using one hand could cause loss of control and
result in serious personal injury or amputation.
ALWAYS
keep both hands on the hedge trimmer
handles to prevent your hand from touching the
blade.
–
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 or battery
disconnected when clearing jammed material.
A moment of inattention or distraction while
operating the hedge trimmer may result in
serious personal injury, and(or) amputation and
death.
–
Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with
the cutter blade stopped and covered. When
transporting or storing the hedge trimmer
always fit the cutting blade cover. Proper
handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce
possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
–
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the cutter blade may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutter
blades contacting a” live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live”
and could give the operator an electric shock.
–
DO NOT operate the hedge trimmer when you
are tired or your visibility is limited. Do not use
the trimmer at night or in reduced light or if
distracted.
–
Keep cable away from cutting area. During
operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs
and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
–
DO NOT use the hedge trimmer if the handle
guard is damaged or broken.
