Cordless Hedge Trimmer Safety Warnings
1. Keep all parts of the body away from the cut-
ter blade. Do not remove cut material or hold
material to be cut when blades are moving.
Make sure the switch is off when clearing
jammed material. Blades coast after turn 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 cutter blade stopped. Proper handling of the
hedge trimmer will reduce possible personal injury
from the cutter blades.
3. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces only, because the cutter blade may contact
hidden wiring. Cutter blades contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
4. DANGER - Keep hands away from blade. Contact
with blade will result in serious personal injury.
5. Do not use the hedge trimmer in the rain or in
wet or very damp conditions. The electric motor
is not waterproof.
6. First-time users should have an experienced
hedge trimmer user show them how to use the
trimmer.
